Review summary

A great 7 days. Another cruise with Carnival is on the agenda for March 2019 -- different itinerary only because I want to see different places.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Our flight, purchased through Carnival was on time -- 12:11 p.m.. We waited over an hour for the shuttle, also purchased through Carnival. About 10 miles from the pier one of our party got a call from Carnival asking where we were as it was now after 4:00 p.m. We were approximately 10 miles from the pier. There were also Carnival crew members (5, I think) on the shuttle. When we got off the terminal was essentially empty and we walked directly through security and onto the ship -- the smoothest embarkation I have ever experienced, although I became a little concerned about being left behind while riding the shuttle..

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was amazing as usual. Only the key lime parfait did not live up to my expectations.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Very elegant space.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The three athletes in the group made good use of the Sky Court.

Children's Programs

Everyone on the party was 21 or over.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Maximo and Amy were very helpful in the dining room. Joaquim was an amazing stateroom steward always calling us by name. He anticipated all our needs.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I did not like having to walk through the smoke of the casino on deck 5 and worked hard not to do so by walking outside or on another level when at all possible. The ship was always clean and dirty dishes and trash was picked up promptly.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Fit our needs perfectly as my philosophy is that on this type of cruise the cabin is for showering, changing clothes, and sleeping.

Ship tip

Take a power strip with you. There is only one outlet in the stateroom.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Took the shore excursion to Tulum and was glad I did.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
I just walked around the pier as I was "done in" from the excursion in Cozumel.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Walked to the beach and hung out there. It was a beautiful setting.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was smooth and ahead of advertised time.

Thx for the thorough review. Can I ask if your next cruise is also on the Breeze? This will be our second time on it, but I'm curious about other ships, also.

Yes, most beautiful so far!
