Review summary

This was my first long cruise and my first sailing on the Breeze. She is a beautiful ship and the. They kept the place very clean. The entertainment has improved greatly in the last 10 years since I first started cruising. The ports were amazing! Only complaint would be it felt crowded a lot of the time...but that is to be expected on a fully-booked holiday sailing.

Do yourself a favor and go to the steakhouse one night. Totally worth it! Lido deck buffet options were just ok except Guys Burgers. Those things are great!

Didn't travel with kids, but they seemed to have plenty to do.

Service and Staff

As always, the crew was great. Special shout out to 2 Country for Nashville, who performed for us for 4+ hours on their day off when we had a fog delay getting back home.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
No real complaints. Located at the end of a hall, but close to deck 3 and 5 activities via elevators (but far enough away that you don't hear music at all hours). Crew staircase runs behind it, so we heard little bumps now and then. Overall quiet and comfy. Room steward did and amazing job!

Ship tip

Spring for the steakhouse one night...some of the best food I've had. If you really want to see a comedy show, get there plenty early as it fills up quickly. The serenity adult deck is a great place for some quiet relaxation.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
In my opinion, Cozumel is overrated. This was my 6th time visiting so maybe I'm just tired of it.

Belize City, Belize Did not visit port

Out excursion (Lamanai ruins) was great. Belize is a very poor country and it is an eye-opening cultural experience to visit. Glad to have visited and the people were very friendly. Not somewhere I would vacation on my own.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

This place is paradise! Loved everything about our day here. Go play with the monkeys and sloths. It was life changing!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Port is beautiful and we spent a lovely day on a private beach. Bring water shoes! Lots of rocks and corral on the beach.
