Review summary

To start with we booked our flight thru Carnival, and they were the worse travel arraignments we have ever had.   We have cruised with Carnival since 2001 and have previously had a great experience.  This time our room was perfectly fine and our room Stewart did an excellent job, however the dining room had some real issues.  We had to wait an over an hour to be seated on the first elegant night, then the service was so slow that we missed the shows we were looking forward to seeing.  We waited at least 15minutes in between courses.  In the end our waiter was running around with plates of food just handing them out to guests that did not request them.  The overall quality of the food and service was very disappointing.  I had to seek out the MaitreD' to complain about the quality of my food.  We are not sure we would go with Carnival again.

Quality was disappointing. I can get a better prime rib dinner from the 99's Restaurant.

Our Steward did an excellent job! We only saw him once, he introduced himself and offered his services. We never saw him after that, but we always had ice available and our room was spotless.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

I can't  wait  me & my fiance are heading  out on the breeze. August 14. We went on our first  cruise  last march. We loved it. We both  got lucky and hit jackpot  the first day. So the cruise  was great. Thank god. Because  it helped  get this second  cruise. But we love it so much we are going to cruise  every  year.  Maybe  some time  soon we could  go on a longer than a week. I don't  know how long they go out. But we plan on going  to all your ports. 20 year's  from now i hope to have takeing hundreds of cruises .somewhere  with carnival.  You all are great.🚢

Why not $100?

My Time Dining best way to go. I've never waited for more than 10-15 mins, ever. Slide the hostess $20 on the first night to hold a table for you every night and voila!

On our previous 11 cruises with Carnival, "Elegant Night" is always an issue.The early diners arrive late and it is hard to get the orders served and the tables cleared before the next seating.I guess many passengers wanted to get dressed at a leisurely pace and have pictures made before eating.I feel sorry for the waiters on these nights.My suggestion - if dressing formally isn't a priority, arrive on time to the dining room and be patient with your servers.They are serving a ton of meals every time the MDR doors open!The food has always been good in the MDR and if you don't like what was served, ask for a change.BTW - we are "senior" cruisers, love kids on board but avoid school breaks, and LOVED the Breeze!Hope everyone boards with a great attitude of gratitude for the wonderful staff on these ships!!

They better get stuff together because my family and I are coming may 15 and I will be complaining a lot to the people if they don't serve us right!😝 I'm there for enjoyment, happiness, and relaxation! Not stress, mood swings, and pissed off family members! Get ready breeze workers!

We where on the Breeze ,in March , we had the same issue with elegant night waited over an hour ,the other nights didn't seem to be so bad , however I'm a ice tea drinker and it was nearly impossible to seem to get it in the dinning room , I guess it's more trouble than just giving you water .but all in all our trip was great , I did notice way fewer bar servers as well.

@ smparker4, I had the 2nd seating at dinner for the first time and the service was very slow. At 8:15 pm, there was a extremely long line waiting to get inside each night. The tables weren't even set for the next group. It was 3 people at my table and out dinner was always served last when most tables were on their desserts.
