Click on "news", then "photographs". It will take a short time to download as all their newbuilds are listed. When it's finished, scroll down to CARNIVAL MIRACLE. Enjoy!

Of course I do find them very interesting, but I think the decor is a departure from the previous Spirit Class ships which are still very much Farcus, but toned down a great extent from the rest of the
Carnival fleet.

Having just returned from the CARNIVAL SPIRIT, I found her decor to be actually quite tasteful in most regards. She is probably the most toned down ship in the entire Carnival fleet.

I will have to see more perspectives of MIRACLE to help define an opinion of her. I remember when I first saw the CONQUEST photos online. I was not very pleased, but then I sailed on her and she
actually looked totally different in person. Nothing wrong with formulating opinions based on photographs, but I learned first hand they are not always correct.

Wow! That's a lot to look at! Gotta hand it to Farcus, I may not care for his style but, he does keep it interesting. Actually, there are a few aspects I do like and, of course, it's right in line with what Carnival is all about. The Bacchus Dining Room is not one of them.....

I can't help thinking that he's running out of ideas. After a while, it all starts to look the same. Of course, I guess you could say that about any cruise line....

Thanks again.

Anyway the Farcus interiors don’t do much for me anymore (not even shock) it’s simply a past time gimmick which has lost it’s power by now. It’s time Farcus came up with something new in totality (at least that’s the fun when designing)

Obviously not those of 'taste' and 'moderation', though?

I am a fan of Carnival ships, and their spontanious decor, but whoa, this might be going too far...

I dont know how they can name the atrium the "Metropolis," while it has absolulty nothing to do with a city! "Carnival, where Renissance and Las Vegas meet!"

I think Bacchus is themes after the God of wine and good times. If you look at the enlarged image of that room, you will see all the "vines" and "grapes" This room is way over the top.

I say:

This room is a demented clash of trash!

And that Dining Room!?!?!? Whoa! I would be afraid I would burn out a retna or two before I got to the main course

Hey, has anybody else ever wondered what Farcus' house looks like? It would be interresting to see. Don't you think?

Your thinking to deeply, the name of the atrium isn’t that contents heavy!

You know why it is called metropolis! Because underneath the red funnel dome there is a wall poster of an aerial view of Manhattan. Just stick a poster on the wall and there you are, you have a theme for the room!!! Next ship will have a poster of some dinosaurs pinned on the wall and will carry the theme Cretaceous City!

On a positive note, MIRACLE is certainly not a carbon copy of any other ship. I think that is a good thing. Variety is the spice of life, and she will appeal to someone. We have enough ships will dull, bland interiors.

Just like a drug addict who needs to keep increasing the size of the hit to feel the same effect as before, Mr. farcus has given the Carnival Miracle an overdose that killed it.

This is without a doubt in my mind the most ugly tasteless piece of work that is in the world today, either on land or the seas. It is beyond what could be described as a euphoric fantasy and has become a nightmare hallucination that immediately precedes death. What a waste of money and talent!
That's my 2 cents anyway.
