Our cruise ship arriving at Port Tampa Bay |
Because we went to the debarkation information meeting yesterday, it helped us to choose which debarkation process we want to follow.

We were glad that we chose to debark the ship via the checked luggage procedure. Having all our luggage neatly packed away (save for the things we needed for this morning) and picked up by the ship's staff last night, we had no luggage to carry.

The passengers who chose to debark with the carry on procedure started leaving the ship at 8:30am.
Those who chose to have their luggage checked didn't need to debark that until 10:30am.
This allowed us time to have a nice relaxing breakfast in the dining room.

We were impressed at how orderly the debarkation process was.
There were over 2000 passengers on board and we were divided into zones.

We were assigned Zone 9 and instructed clearly where our waiting area was.
After breakfast, we strolled around the ship for the last time and waited at our assigned area.
The wait was not too long at all.
The debarkation process was orderly and smooth. |
Before we realized it, our zone number was called and we debarked from our cruise ship.
There was no long lineup, no carrying of heavy luggage, no angry people with rude comments nor any unpleasantness associated with impatient people.
It was good to see that people with special needs were assisted and looked after.

The debarkation process was well organized, orderly and smooth. Kudo to the admin. staff at Carnival Miracle cruise ship!
So long!
We have had a marvelous time! Two thumbs up for Carnival Miracle and we will definitely do it again!
