Carnival Miracle Photo Essay


Carnival Miracle is one of those ships that just always seem to be in front of my camera.

For the last few years, Miracle has been one of two Carnival ships based in New York during the summer season. She primarily heads south towards the Caribbean and the Bahamas on relatively longer itineraries.

In the winter, she operates out of Fort Lauderdale in Florida. There, her schedule takes her on both Eastern and Western itineraries. Thus, the ship gets around and it is no wonder that I am seemingly always running into her.

Miracle is the last of four Spirit class ships built for Carnival in Finland. The design is a forerunner to the Vista class cruise ships in the fleets of Holland America, Costa, P&O Cruises and Cunard. However, her interior by ship architect Joe Farcus gives her a unique identity. Moreover, her captain pointed out to me that because the ship does longer cruises she tends to attract a more sophisticated clientele than some of her fleetmates.

I have put together a new photo essay on Carnival Miracle showing her in some of the ports that she visits and underway at sea. It is posted at http://www.beyondships.com/CarnivalMiracle-photos-2.html
