My husband and I had a wonderful time on the ship and Passion Island excursion. We were very impressed with the organization. It was not chaotic, very clean, staff were very friendly, helpful, and respectful. We have recommended it to all our family and friends! We can’t wait to book another trip.

Absolutely loved my 1st cruise adventure. Would really love to see a laying pool on the Serenity Deck. During the summer it is just too hot to sit outside in the hot tub. The food was amazing, the service superb, cleanliness was on point. Will definitely travel again soon

JUNE

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Lots of daytime activities, great food, service was above top notch, lots of comedy shows

CONS

Lots of comedy was in a small space only 2 shows in the main theatre, only 2 main nighttime shows

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Carnival used to have a big production show every night. They only had 2 this trip. I love the comedy but most of the shows were in a small club in the back. If your not having big production shows at least have comedy shows in the big theatre. But all in all we had a blast as always. Just things have changed since COVID I guess

Not the best

APRIL

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

The food was great. Debarking was nice when we returned home

CONS

Where do I start. First night dinner service terrible. Took 1 1/2 hours to get done in that span no one ask for drink refills. But I guess asking for the manager several times got the point across because the rest of the trip was the way it is supposed to be. Once again couldn’t get off at one of our Ports of Call. The third time via a Carnival Ship very disappointing. The room wasn’t very clean and it was rough condition dents and marks all over the walls. TV channels used to have decent tv channels in case we got stuck in from weather or whatever, but now channel selection is terrible. Kids and teenagers all over the place sitting in the staircase and halls and not willing to move if you come down their direction.probably last Carnival cruise even though we have been on several.

RECOMMENDED

No

Probably last time cruising Carnival.

It was a Breeze!

JULY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Updated interior, super friendly and helpful staff, so many food choices!

CONS

Galveston port is unorganized embarking and disembarking compared to other ports I’ve been in. There was a ghost elevator that was never fixed…it just did what it wanted.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Beautiful ship! Cozumel was great, I could skip Costa Maya, they are extremely overpriced and overcrowded. The MDR food was okay, but the servers made it great. The area around Mongolian Wok would make everyone cough from the hot chili sauce they’re cooking, it needs vents to take that up instead out into the buffet area. Also, seems like Carnival has started nickel and diming you for everything on the ship when other cruise lines offer those “extras” at no extra charge. For example, the Cheers package cannot be used on day 1, it starts on day 2 at 6am, so you have to pay out of packet for alcohol, sodas, bottled water, specialty coffees on day 1. I still prefer NCL.

Stage Show Leads, No Pickleball, Odd arrival time in Costa Maya

Debarkation was slower than usual, but it was beyond staff control. They kept us well informed. Food was great, especially dining room and Sweet Spot on Lido. Ship needs pickleball, with scheduled times daily, ASAP. VERY friendly and accommodating staff!

Excellent friendly staff everyone was very nice

CONS

Ship is a little dated

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Excellent value however the beds are very uncomfortable in my opinion also my wife's too. Wonderful room stewards and dinning wait staff, food was excellent and well prepared. Very clean thru out ship, but does show signs of age. Pools are small for such a large ship and over crowded at times.

A great time on the Breeze

APRIL

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Ship layout, entertainment, crew, atmosphere

CONS

Lots of motion, a few meals were just okay

RECOMMENDED

Yes

<div>Overall we had a great time on this ship. Entertainment options were fantastic and there was always a fun atmosphere. Our stateroom was outstanding and we had great interactions with the crew all week and they made sure fun was had by all. For food, the specialty dining was amazing and so were the meals on elegant nights in the MDR. Had a few sub par meals on some other nights. Ship is beautifully designed and decor is elegant and relaxing. Loved the spa balcony stateroom. We did have a lot of rocking. Not sure if that was due to the conditions or the ship, but come prepared if you fight motion sickness. Personally I&#39;d still sail on the Breeze again without hesitation.</div>

FEBRUARY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

ship had great food, amenities and activities

CONS

smokers, and port destination

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We chose a cruise to Keys West, Freeport Bahamas and Nassau Bahamas because of our age range from 7 years to 76 years, so the variety was good for our group. Unfortunately there were a lot of smokers on the cruise, a health choice I can't even believe people are still choosing, so the air was not as fresh as my family would like. Good thing was that the Gym was always open as most did not have any exercise intentions...LOL. but getting back to the BREEZE, the ship was nice, updated and the service was exceptional. We had an amazing room attendant as well as our dining room serving staff went above and beyond our expectations. I did not care for Freeport, very dirty and the island did not have much except many peddlers in the shopping you are required to walk through to go anywhere.
