Carnival Miracle is currently undergoing a regular spot in Astoria, Portland. Part of the ship’s regular maintenance schedule, the shipyard stay was confirmed by Carnival Cruise Line in May.
In addition to regular maintenance and class work, the Spirit-Class ship will receive Carnival’s new blue, red and white livery.
Created to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, the new hull look was inspired by officers’ uniforms and features a navy-blue bow along with red and white accents along the length of the ship.
Following the completion of drydocking, Miracle is set to resume her West Coast cruise schedule on November 17.
On this date, the 88,500-ton ship sails from Long Beach on a short cruise to the Mexican Riviera. The five-night itinerary includes full visits to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada before returning to Carnival’s cruise terminal in the Los Angeles area.
During the 2022-2023 winter season, the 2,124-passenger ship will also offer two-week cruises to Hawaii, as well as additional three- to six-night itineraries to the Mexican Riviera and Baja California.
Closing the Carnival Spirit Class, the Carnival Miracle first entered service in 2004.
Designed with a multi-deck atrium, a glass-enclosed pool deck and a large number of cabins with private balconies, the ship underwent a major renovation in 2015.
At the time, she received all of Carnival’s Fun Ship 2.0 upgrades, including the Alchemy Bar, RedFrog Rum Bar and Cherry on Top candy shop.
Other ship features include the Punchliner Comedy Club, Serenity’s adults-only retreat, a classic American-style steakhouse, a nine-hole miniature golf course, a 14,500-square-foot health and wellness center, and more.
In addition to Miracle, six Carnival ships have completed scheduled 2022 moorings, including Carnival Luminosa – which was converted to a Carnival ship at a European shipyard in September.
