Carnival Cruise Review of the Miracle

By Mike Chastain

Our Carnival cruise review of the Miracle from our sailing to the Eastern Caribbean. The Miracle is one of the Spirit class of Carnival ships. We simply love this line of ships as they are very modern in appearance and not too gaudy. The artwork appeared as if it was museum quality. You will also see a lot of movie and novel themed areas such as Robison Crusoe, The Great Gatsby and Gotham. When first boarding the ship you will notice that the atrium is in the mold of the Metropolis of Superman fame.

The Miracle is a medium size ship at 88,500 tons and 2,124 passengers. The ship is large enough that no areas seemed to be overcrowded on our sold out cruise.

The Christmas Cruising Experience

By Sandy Fierling

For most of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the days are shorter and it's cold and will get colder and many of us just don't appreciate this! We long for the lazy days of summer and not having to bundle ourselves up with clothes to keep ourselves warm, eating outdoors. Yes summer is great and often winter just sucks.

Right now Christmas is around the corner and for many of us this means enormous stress - getting the absolutely perfect present for everyone in your family, for your friends, work colleagues and for your partner and don't forget all the children. Then there's the wrapping, the countless hours spent shopping in the cold, the stress of spending money you might not be able to afford and you won't know if the presents are great until the 25th! Up until then you have to clean your house from top to bottom, bake cookies and other festive fare.
