Review summary

The Carnival Breeze is a very nice ship.  It is fantastic for children of all ages, as the upper deck is a kids' paradise.  I couldn't get my children away from the mini-golf, ropes course, water slides, or pools.

 

The food was much better than I had experienced on previous Carnival cruises (5+ years ago) and the service was fantastic all around.  What a great group of staff Carnival has assembled.  The team spirit was evident across the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great size for an inside stateroom. It didn't feel clausterphobic. The bathroom was also very nicely proportioned. We also had a launderette a few doors down that charged $3 for washing and $3 for drying, as well as detergents, which was great to have. If I'd known that were available, I would have packed half as much!

Ship tip

The pools and hot tubs on the Lido deck were always quite full.  I discovered there were larger hot tubs on deck 5 at the end of the trip.  Second, with small children, I highly advise avoiding the late dining if at all possible, as the shows are after that and too late for kids to be awake.

Definitely book an excursion to snorkel, as the mainland activities for small children involve a lot of driving and not a lot of return on the time investment (We saw howler monkeys on the side of the road for 30 minutes after almost 3 hours of driving)

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico
