Review summary

we were not able to get to Jamaica, someone had an emergency that required us to go to Cozumel first then rerouted to Honduras instead. I realize that is no one's fault but I have been to Honduras twice and I was looking forward to Jamaica.

the casino was in the middle of the ship on deck 5. you had to go through to get to either side. after a few trips and getting sick, I am severely allergic to cigarette smoke, we had to go down, around and back up to get from our dining area to the shopping area. I have been sick with bronchitis and laryngitis ever since being exposed to the smoke just the few times I went through.

the food services closed every afternoon by 1pm. If my 4 year old granddaughter needed a snack at 2 or 2:30 we were out of luck. we had to go back to our cabin and order room service. it was very inconvenient.

the ship was just too large for us to enjoy, if this had been our first cruise we would probably never go again. I would definitely not recommend this trip.

I was on this same cruise she was. There were just as many people who were happier to go to Roatan than Jamaica! After all, it's vacation so who cares where? I understood that the woman who was evacuated to Cozumel died in Mexico, although that was hearsay from others on ship, not the "official word." I felt captain and crew were very respectful of ill woman's family and privacy, yet they bent over backwards to ensure the remaining 3,0000+ cruisers were informed and had a good time. ALL of the eating area hours are posted in both the paper Fun Times and the Carnival Hub app. If you couldn't find food at 2 pm, you weren't looking too hard!

lol that's why it's called ROOM SERVICE. You order it from your room! How silly some people are.

Pizza and the deli are always open. Guys is open later and there is almost always some area of lido open. If you are looking for something to complain about, you will always find something. It's easy to go around the casino smoke, it can sometimes be a bit inconvenient, but if you are that allergic you should have taken another floor. I go on these sites, and people complain about everything. Really! You're on a cruise! Stop complaining and enjoy it, make the most of it. You are on vacation!!!!

Your loss. You obviously aren't going to be happy cruising, so yes, you should stay off cruise ships. I have been on about 25 cruises. My problem is that I can't cruise more often.

been on this ship, and had a wonderful time!! room service isn't the only option,the pizza place is open 24hrs and guys burgers is open pretty late. there are other ways to go around the casino but people smoke all over the ship if your that allergic maybe you shouldn't cruise.sorry you felt that the breeze needed a 2 star but I'm sure others will agree it's at least a 4 star but in my eyes it's a 5.

Plus doesn't deck 5 have an outside deck that goes all the way around? So couldn't you have just gone outside passed the casino?

if you went from you dining room to the shops you had to go from deck 3 or 4. no need to walk through the casino unless you wanted to. I've been on this ship twice and the Magic twice so I'm not exaggerating. this is a great ship with many options, especially food options

Buffets not open 24 hours but there is always guys burgers and at least one other restaurant open until 6, pizza place 24 hours. No food besides room service is not accurate at all.
