Review summary

Where to begin, this was first time on Carnival and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I went in skeptical because I was loyal to royal but needed to try carnival. Overall I thought the ship itself was good not great but I would definitely sail her again. I personally found the food to be okay nothing special but I ate good everyday with the only complaint being the marketplace breakfast buffet on port days. I thought the menu to be really limited. We tried the MDR for breakfast one day and opted for that the remainder of the cruise. I found Guys Burgers to be good at best I could take it or leave it. Now my waiters in the Blush Dining Room lower level were phenomenal. Everyday they greeted us by name and inquired about our day. They took their time to explain the menu and to give recommendations including saying certain foods were bland or just not good at all. Any other request we made was granted immediately. I asked for ice tea one night and they had it ready the rest of our cruise. Our Cruise Director Schwartz was great. He got and kept everybody involved. I love the fact that he was out everywhere and approachable by everyone. He really made this cruise fun. Now for a couple minor things I found. As I stated I am loyal to royal with that being said I didn’t like how during embarkation we stepped on the ship out side on deck 3 then came in and it was like a little corridor to the atrium. I think the way the other cruise line does it where you step onboard and get that immediate wow moment because your in the promenade/atrium not a little corridor walking to the atrium. That may just be a ship design but to me that’s the moment to shine. I also found the entertainment to be sub par. While they (carnival singers and dancers) are way better then anything I could do they reminded me more of high school musical. I love live music and I think having a live band playing on stage with them would’ve made such an improvement to the performances. My final semi complaint isn’t about this ship personally but I absolutely hate the cheers package they offer. I know I didn’t have to buy it but carnival as well as the other cruise lines place to many restrictions on it. I couldn’t get a bucket of beers, certain drinks that come with a shot I had to wait 5 minutes to get the shot. I prefer double shots but that too wasn’t allowed on cheers package. They wouldn’t even serve liquor soda and bottled water at the same time. In closing Carnival Breeze was a fun ship to sail with plenty of things to do. You’ll have a great time on her and if you don’t, start by looking in the mirror because that may just be the reason you didn’t like her.
