Review summary

To celebrate my boyfriend's special birthday, we took the 6-day Caribbean cruise on the Breeze Oct.6-12, 2013.  Fabulous time all round.  My 3rd cruise, his 1st and surely not our last.  We enjoyed so many of the fantastic events and features of Carnival's 2012 launched Breeze.

The variety of activities well into the night, had us on the go...dancing, being entertained or simply racing up the stairs all day long.

The choices of restaurants....hmm..we ran out of days before we got to try all that was offered.  Darrell promises to get to Guy's Burgers sooner than later.  I say, "ok, let's do it!!" lol

One of our favourite new "traditions" was a pizza around midnight followed by a round of mini golf on the highest point of the glorious ship at 2 a.m. during our first night.  We felt like kids!

Our Ocean Suite was superb.  Darrell loved the towel animals that found themselves on our bed each evening....I promptly moved them to the couch across the room. 3's a crowd!!

The only issue we will report was our Cabin Steward, Sergeii.  My previous cruise experiences had the designated cabin steward show up daily, enquiring about our stay and if we had anything that concerned us.  We had nothing to report about our accommodations but we were very disappointed in the fact that the only couple of times that we ran into Sergeii was in the hallway as we crossed paths.  I believe he should have been more visible to have touched base with us.  I will say that the additional "envelope" that we left in the room was definitely for housekeeping and not for the Sergeii.

We are concerned that with his lurking around our room at the time of our vacating the Ocean Suite, he might have taken the "envelope" intended for housekeeping and they would have missed out on our monetary appreciation of being on top of things during our stay.

We are looking forward to doing this all over again....look out waterslides, we are coming back!!

I arranged the shore excursions through the Cruises Only website...the site through which I had booked the cruise. We did the Tour of Grand Turk through Papa J Tours as well as the Ultimate Snorkeling....what a fabulous experience.....included petting a shark...cooool. I actually wouldn't recommend booking more than one excursion. We had moments between the two. Luckily they commenced in the same vicinity along the very pretty beach. In Ocho Rios, Jamaica...we booked the White River Tubing....if there is anything I would highly recommend...it's this....the accompanying guides were totally entertaining and worth their tips. Despite the disorganized buses and mix up of timings for visitors awaiting this excursion. (we had to wait a good 45 minutes for our bus to transport us to the top of the White River)....but surely worth every second. In Nassau, we booked the Tour of Nassau (Marcus our driver was quite the charmer) which included Atlantis. I wouldn't go nuts over the Atlantis portion....typically "Vegas". Been there, done that...but I loved the Main Street of Nassau which included The Straw Market and the Del Sol products at a few of the inline stores. I remember the last time I was in Nassau back in 2006, a Bahamian vendor guided us into the store along the main drag with a statement that had me curious....."...everything changes inside..." he said. (that got me...in I went!!) lol All in all, the choices I made were simply icing on the cake to this vacation with my hunny as we celebrated his birthday.
