Review summary

Too large a ship without the service to support the passengers. Will not cruise on this class of ship again. Long lines for eats, longer lines for disembarkation of the ship. Collecting luggage a nightmare. Customer service desk lines long and slow moving.

They shut down the gangway while adjacent ship was mooring. Took almost 1 1/2 hours of port time. Bummer

I can't say anything about the Breeze until May but we have cruised on the Magic twice and the Dream. No problems whatsoever so don't let this review scare you off. In reality nothing can always be perfect but as long as I'm on a cruise, everything is perfect in my mind!

Chris, look at floor plans & you'll have some idea. Also, it will be much different if you're going during Spring break. Easter isn't for a month afterwards but colleges have spring break then.

I think no matter what ship you're on you may run into long lines at the buffet. When we cruised on the magic the lines during lunch were long. But no complaint here, I know there's thousands of people on the ship so it's to be expected during lunch time.

Looking forward to our Breeze experience in five weeks. We're on the Sunshine last year and enjoyed the whole experience. Found that people didn't follow direction on disembarkation creating a bottleneck.

We just got off the breeze yesterday. Party of 7 all had an amazing time. Great food excellent service and beautiful ship. Yes you will have a small wait if you go to buffets but there is 4000 people on the boat no just you. Have patience and relax you are on vacation.

We were on the Breeze over Thanksgiving and the only lines we encountered was for Guys Burger joint. But that's on any of the ships that have it. I do have to say disembarking was slow, only because people wouldn't listen to the rules of getting off.

We were on Breeze this year & last. Loved it! We had your time dining which can be long lines if you're eating when everyone else wants to. Talk to the hosts & they can give you an idea when the busy times will be.

We had a great time on the Breeze. Our favorite Carnival ship so far. The only complaint we had was the singers for the shows were not that great. Their pitch and tone was way off. It's been 2 years since we sailed on the Breeze so I am sure there are different entertainers now.
