Review summary

We didn't choose this itinerary for the ports- Other than PR, it was disappointing.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main dining room was slow and had a lot of the same food as the buffet. The buffet was small, with little variety. The two restaurant choices by Guy Fieri were both Excellent, but Carnival doesn't keep them open nearly long enough. If you're wanting a late-nite snack, forget it- the only choice in back is always a "mile-long" line.

Poor stage shows- lip-syncing and "air guitar" players every night.

The port wasn't bad, just the terrible ship's excursion- DON'T use Carnival's "St. John/Trunk Bay Snorkel" excursion- Ripoff!

We hired a taxi van - nice port area, nice people.

Yet another man-made cruise line built sterile port. Not for us.

To add a late response to "Jam...", "debbie downer"? Really? You don't know me, so stfu with the name-calling. OK? Everyone likes different things, OK?

traveler01, et al - Ok, after a couple snarky comments, I suppose I should point out we went because my wife's Florida relatives, who she hadn't seen in 30 YEARS, recently found her on FB, and insisted we all hook up on this cruise that they had already booked. We were delighted to be a group of 8. We had a great time at the MDR each night talking, going on-shore as a group, and the Halloween party on-board was amazing. So overall, we're glad we went, just won't do this itinerary again.

Remember every cruise is an adventure. Be open minded and enjoy the experience. After all each cruise is unique. Haven’t had a bad one yet, even on the one to Cuba in which my wife had to go to the hospital. It was , and is one of my favorite memories just because it brought us closer to the cuban people

What does the itinerary have to do with the ship? You’re supposed to be reviewing the ship.

The Breeze is my favorite , so much to do on the ship. You can go to specialty restaurant & room service. Room service is great for late night snacks.

Sounds like you didnt make the most of your vacation. There is always room service, and the shows are for fun its not like you paid hundreds to see the shows. Did you also not enjoy the sun or the beaches?
