Review summary

I was disappointed on the Breeze ship. The mid day foods was always left overs. My best meal was the last night of the cruise in fine dinning and hamburgers on the lido deck. Had to request for ice buckets in cabin and fridge to be open in room. I have cruise on other cruise line and pleased. Did not have a lot of entertainment like shows etc.

If it was not for Matt the cruise director this would have not been a good trip for me.

My wife and I cruised on the Breeze back in February. It was great! No problems whatsoever! Matt the cruise director is awesome! I have been on 3 cruises with Disney and 1 with Carnival and I liked the Carnival cruise just as much as Disney. At a third of the cost! Anyone that cruises knows to do your homework on the ship your interested in before book it. I booked my family on the Dream this coming March and I have read the reviews about smells and all that stuff. We will go smells or no smells andwe will have a great time! Just go with an open mind and you'll be just fine. In this day and age you get what you pay for!!! That's my 2 cents worth!!! :)

What did you expect when you book a $300 cruise? You bottom feeders complain too much. In supposed you're upset because they didn't serve the McRib?

Food is leftovers? Lol they prepare it right In front of you. People always want to complain about something and can't just enjoy their vacation. And yes you request for ice in the room, it's not like they have personal ice machines in your room. Stop complaining and just enjoy thing.

I have been on the Breeze 3 times. The lunch service is not left overs I will say that they have a limited of selection of food all round but you have to remember that they have limited storage to keep large selection on board. You can even watch as they prepare the food in front of you. Do not always believe what some one else has written, you to must see for self with an open mind and enjoy.
