Review summary

Being a first timer on a cruise is a little scary not knowing what to expect. My knowledge of cruise ships has been limited to some of the negative things you hear about on the evening news. Also mixed in with positive things you hear from friends and those who go on cruises on a regular basis. So just to let you know... I was overwhelmed and pleasantly surprised how enjoyable it could be. There is too much to write here,,, so for your own good get over what ever is holding you back... take a deep breath, find your own adventure cruise experience and just do it! Chances are you will enjoy it.

Food and Dining

I would like to see more seafood.... but choices and quality overall very good! I would also like to see at the buffet with slightly more extended serving times due to late diners.

Very clean, pleasant and comfortable... with great layout and storage given the limited space. The balcony was also a nice size.

We were on Royal Caribbean Majesty if the Sea and they had the movie Titanic playing on the TV all day on the day at sea. Then when you went for dinner the backdrop for the photo op was a picture of the Grand staircase in the titanic. It was kinda funny.

In July I think you'll be safe from the icebergs so don't let Titanic fill your mind. Lol. Enjoy the ocean; it's so majestic. It's the only vacation I want to do now. 🚢⚓️😎

I think when we arrived at the port I was alittle intimidated by the size of Breeze and wondered what I got myself (and 7 others) into. After the first 24 hours I was completely comfortable and made it a fun trip to remember. It's all how you make it. 😉

Cruises are a blast. What you see in the news is rare, just be aware of your surroundings while enjoying the ports.
