Carnival Breeze®

Exceptional

June

Pros: Service

Cons:

Recommended: No

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

4th time cruiser

June

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

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

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.

Carnival Breeze, Nov 7-12, 2022

November

Pros: Cleanliness, Food Quality and Variety, Cruise Director

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

Recommended: Yes

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!

2019 Cruise

October

Pros: Casino. Guys burgers. Guys BQue

Cons: Dining room ok not great

Recommended: Yes

Enjoyed the ship. Had enough chair on deck. Room steward was great. Head waiter and staff was great.

Family cruising

July

Pros: 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.

Fun on the Breeze

May

Pros: Great for families, great for singles, great for couples

Cons: Kids camps had a lot of closures that were unexpected

Recommended: Yes

Staff is absolutely amazing. By far the best cruise ship that I've been on and this was not my first cruise.

A great time on the Breeze

Breeze

March

Pros: Lots to do at all hours. Super friendly staff. Wonderful ports.

Cons: Long lines at buffet. Disembarkment took too long.

This cruise was great for our extended family of ten including children, teens, and senior adults. There was always plenty to do for everyone.

Perfect for our party of 20!

January

Pros: Something for everyone

Cons: Lots of kids :)

Recommended: Yes

We love Carnival. This ship exceeded my expectations. It was huge! Super clean- and as always - the Carnival difference! Service was outstanding. Shout out to our table servers, Rolando, Dhio and Amang. Above and beyond with our giant group of kids ranging in ages 6-18.

Awesome

October

Pros: Awesome vacation

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

Our waiters at dinner were wonderful. Damir, Francisco, and Judy were quick, efficient, and friendly. I love that the Breeze has made the photos digital instead of printing EVERYTHING. It saves paper and gives more purchasing options

Decent vacation

February

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.
