Carnival Legend Review

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

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 areas I’d like to talk about. Hope you enjoy as much [...]

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

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

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 [...]

One Last Photo Post

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

This is the last photo post of my review. Just a couple more random images I decided to share. A picture of most of the ship on the first day. It would have been a good picture if the camera strap didn’t get in the way… Oh well. A picture of the water taken from [...]

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

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

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 [...]

Another Photo Post

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I wanted to share some more pictures with you, so here we go!  This was a great “bow” picture of our Miracle. I think this was taken in San Juan. Here’s a picture of one of the pool areas (mid-ship) on the Miracle. It was always quite crowded. I don’t like swimming in those pools, [...]

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

Friday, July 18th, 2008

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 [...]

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

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

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 [...]

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

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

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. [...]

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

Monday, July 14th, 2008

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, [...]
