Carnival Legend Review

The funnels of Carnival Legend and Carnival Imagination

[/caption] I returned a couple days ago from my Carnival Legend cruise, which took place August 2 – August 9. It was a very nice cruise. We took hardly any pictures, so there won’t be any photo posts unfortunately. I’ll run down some of the [...]

Carnival Miracle July 4 Cruise Review – Part Seven: The VIP Treatment

Dave — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:30:55 +0000

As I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, this was my first Carnival cruise as a Platinum member. We were told there were only twelve parties onboard (including us) that had Platinum status. I will talk about some of the perks we enjoyed as Platinum guests: VIP Check-in: Probably one of the best perks. We were able to go [...]

This is the last photo post of my review. Just a couple more random images I decided to share.

Carnival Miracle July 4 Cruise Review – Part Six: The Last Day

Dave — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:20:58 +0000

This part of the review will have to sections. The first section will cover disembarkation. The second section will cover what happened after disembarkation. Disembarkation We opted to do normal disembarkation this cruise. For the past few years, we’ve done self-assist, where we carry off our own bags. This time, however, we chose to have them taken [...]

I wanted to share some more pictures with you, so here we go!

Here’s a picture of one of the pool areas (mid-ship) on the Miracle. It was always [...]

Carnival Miracle July 4 Cruise Review – Part Five: The Activities

Dave — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 16:33:15 +0000

There were plenty of activities on this cruise. There’s not a whole lot to say about them, but they were all very good. Our favorite activity this cruise was the trivia. We did quite a few trivia sessions. Some of them, off the top of my head, included general, history, sports, slogans, etc. A lot of [...]

Taking a short break from the review, I’m going to share a couple pictures with you today from the cruise. (We have to mix things up a little, you know?) You can click on each picture for a full size image. Smooth seas This is one of my favorite pictures. It’s not too often you see the [...]

Carnival Miracle July 4 Cruise Review – Part Four: The Staff

Dave — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 18:31:15 +0000

First I will talk about the staff in general. After that, there are a few people I’d like to mention specifically. The staff on the Miracle were very nice. People often complain about rude or unhelpful crew on their cruises. Not the case on our cruise! Every crew member we came in contact with was very [...]

Carnival Miracle July 4 Cruise Review – Part Three: The Ports

Dave — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:58:40 +0000

This part of the review will probably be short because I don’t have a lot to say about the ports. We didn’t really do much at the ports, which is why there’s not much to say about them. First Stop: San Juan, Puerto Rico San Juan was nice I guess. We just shopped a little. I’m not [...]

Carnival Miracle July 4 Cruise Review – Part Two: The Food

Dave — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:11:58 +0000

One thing I noticed on this cruise was that the food quality had increased from the past few years. (Or maybe it was just because I hadn’t cruised in so long anything would taste good!) Either way, the food was great. Up at the buffet, there was a lot of variety. Despite all the variety, I [...]
