Carnival Miracle Sails from Long Beach
The Spirit-class cruise ship has become the second in the fleet to resume sailings out of Long Beach, California, and it comes after the ship has already been sailing from Seattle, Washington to Alaska since the end of July 2021.
On Monday afternoon, guests were welcomed on board with a party atmosphere and dancing from the crew in the atrium. The event was hosted by popular cruise director Jen Baxter and attended by the ship’s captain.
The cruise line has made it special for guests on every ship that has resumed operations, and even though Carnival Miracle has already been sailing in Alaska, it was no different for Long Beach.
Carnival Miracle kicked off its offerings from Long Beach with a four-day Mexican Riviera itinerary. The ship is making calls at Avalon at Catalina Island and Ensenada in Mexico. The vessel will then make a return to its homeport on Friday, October 1, 2021. Carnival Miracle will offer three- and four-day cruises for the remainder of the year.
