We chose this cruise to celebrate our daughter's high school graduation and our 27th wedding anniversary. She had never cruised and we had only been on one cruise about 25 years prior; also, the itinerary took us to a region we had never been before. We had a fantastic week on the Breeze! The staff is professional and attentive to every detail. The food, entertainment, shopping and ports were terrific. Thank you to the Breeze for a wonderful celebration vacation 2019!!

Entertainment
5 out of 5
We attended the stage show EVERY night and especially enjoyed "Motown" and "Flick". Cruise director, Schwartz, is the absolute BEST! He & the DJ continued the fun each night out into the Lobby and then on the Lido deck. LOVED all the singing and dancing!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Schwartz is amazing! Our room steward, Ryan was excellent and very attentive if we needed anything. In the Sapphire Dining Room, Leslie & her team, as well as Jan & his team helped us multiple nights. They were very friendly, professional and exemplified excellent service.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Once we got used to it, the ship was easy to navigate. Our rooms were clean and quiet. The areas we frequented were clean and well-maintained (Ovation Theater, Dining Rooms, shops, public restrooms, pool areas, spa, hallways, etc). We only had 2 complaint/problem areas: 1--the constant slippery floor in the Lido marketplace area. Even though it was clean and there were caution signs up, it was laborious to walk without slipping. We were very surprised that Carnival has not replaced the flooring with the same nonslip as the pool area or something else with a similar nonslip quality. 2--We were on Deck 8, Aft and there was a constant sewer smell in the hallways. Although it may be an inevitable "feature" of the ship, it was quite offensive at times. Would love to know if that's an "AFT quality" so that we will book a different section of the ship next time!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our cabin was very clean, the size was as expected. We booked this cabin in particular for the layout and slightly larger balcony. The temperature was always comfortable and we found it to be quiet as well. Aside from the sewer odor in the hallway, we were very pleased!
Hung out at the Carnival pool and shopping area. Umbrella rental was easy and everything was nice and clean. Shops/attendants were nice and we liked the photo opportunities. We had a very enjoyable day!
Did some shopping, visited the Margaritaville pool, and snorkeled at Grand Turk. It was extremely hot that day but the water was refreshing and the shops were cool. The chairs to the left of the ship (docked) were full when we disembarked so we went to the right. We were disappointed to see that the majority of the clamshells and chairs on this side were broken and unusable :-(.
We opted for a later disembarkation time and were not disappointed getting off the ship. Once we were back on land, the process of getting to your luggage and out to our vehicle was a bit chaotic and seemed unorganized. A carnival rep suggested the valet service and it was totally worth it!! They loaded up our luggage and we went right out to our parking shuttle--NO Line, No more waiting!!
Congratulations to you and your daughter!! Those are both admirable accomplishments!!! I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your cruise. It sounds like we may have new members to the club of addicted cruisers!! Happy Cruising
