      We love those sneaky interior cabins with windows because they’re super affordable… but I think we’ve determined that we’ll be balcony people every time we cruise to Alaska! We don’t mind the interiors other times though!! :P

      Monica, Carnival has been running some specials lately that give you a free interior or ocean view. Balconies for $30.00 and Suites $150.00 All you need to qualify is a valid VFIP #. You are responsible for taxes and port fees.

    • @parodeejay

      We love that 4K interior because of the price, and we usually get it any time we sail a Spirit-class ship. But something about Alaska just begs for a balcony, ha ha... That's funny about the ads, as YT gets to pick those out on our behalf and we have no say. Love it!! :P

    I sailed Carnival Miracle back in 2011 and it looks exactly as I remember it. It is all still literary themed? I remember a place called Gatsby Garden on that ship that had port holes and cute little area to sit and watch the sea. Also there was a lounge that was Alice & Wonderland themed. I think they had comedy in there. How amazing that you were able to get an upgrade to a balcony.

    So fun watching, after being on two weeks before you guys. I'm homesick! Interesting note we figured out between roll call groups...deck 8 cabins DO have lamps with USB ports. Not sure why it hasn't reached the whole ship, but if you're on deck 8 you're good to go. We were in 8270 and other members posted photos of theirs on deck 8. So fun seeing all the staff I loved, especially glimpses of Zora at the alchemy :) I was kinda shocked at how good the MDR was too..actually best I've had on a Carnival ship in a long time! I had the roast chicken too and omgosh it was yummy! We found the buffet probably the worst in a long time though. Just avoided. The staff was just incredible on this ship and I reinforced how much I love the smaller ships, Spirit class being my favorite. Such a better social atmosphere and better service. Oh...and then there was the Alaska part ;) Thanks for your hard work putting these vids out.

    As soon as you showed the very first shot of the interior of the Miracle I knew this ship was designed by Joe Farcus. As you said, "those old ships and their funky decor" are unmistakable. The prevalence of purple probably has some kind of meaning because Mr. Farcus' designs were meaningful. But truth be told, it just wasn't my thing. I mean I saw some bizarre designs in this video and that is a LOT of purple. However, I'm not going to let a Joe Farcus design stop me from a great itinerary or having fun with friends on a cruise. Congrats on the special, last minute upgrade!
