Review summary

Most of our family group traveled on the Carnival Dream two years ago. I expected to have a similar fun experience but the Breeze was was even better. MarQ was the best cruise director we have had on Carnival. He had such energy and really got the crowd involved well. He was quick witted and a talented dancer and singer. We loved the trivia singalongs and other events in the atrium as well as the deck parties. We loved having a Red Frog Pub again to hang out in to listen to music and play games when we wanted to hang out and relax. Brad in the piano bar was amazingly talented. We also enjoyed all of the music in the different venues. Liz (great singer) and Lucas (singing and guitar/drums (with his feet)) were extremely entertaining. Dave Moretz did cool things creating his recorded looping background music and his guitar playing was extraordinary. We also enjoyed listened to the Sea Sharps and Surplus of Diggity in Ocean Plaza. DJ Atomic and DJ Mos Precious kept the music going at parties and in the nightclub. A few in our group enjoyed comedy nightly. Lastly, a contingent of our group was at each of the shows in the Ovation Theater and always enjoyed it. The Lip Sync Battle was a great show with the inclusion of the Playlist Productions performers backing up the contestants. Entertainment was very important to our group and the Breeze did not disappoint. Off ship didn't disappoint either. Although we only got off the ship in the Dominican Republic to check out some shops, it was beautiful. St. Thomas had gorgeous mountains and water. We took a cab to Magen's Bay and enjoyed our day. San Juan was full of history and beauty. We visited the forts and walked through Old San Juan. The views from the forts were unbeatable. Lastly, we visited Jack's Shack in Grand Turk. We love the atmosphere of the little bar and the beach was fun playing with Topher and Calypso. We always bring our own floats and snorkel equipment so we are always ready for a beach. Overall, the Breeze surpassed our expectations and want to finish with a shout out to MarQ, Ellica, Mudi, Lewis and Leon. You made our trip the best.

There were lots of tasty options for my vegetarian diet.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools were crowded but we found times to use one when it wasn't as busy. We enjoyed the Skycourse and playing bingo.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
MarQ was the best cruise director I have had. So much energy and talent. The performers were very talented as were all of the various musicians on the ship. Of note: Brad in the piano bar was amazing. Dave Moretz was extremely talented. Liz & Lucas could belt out the tunes and the accompanying music making was wonderful. The Sea Sharps and Surplus of Diggity was loaded with talent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Blush Dining Room staff Ellica, Leon and Lewis were great. We had a table of 13 and they took wonderful care of us. Mudi was our cabin steward and he always made me special - always talking to me in the hallways and making sure we had everything we needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Every deck was well laid and events were easy to get to.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The window was really nice with the extra area that we could sit in to watch the water. There was plenty of room in the cabin and we enjoyed having the second washroom so that we could have our own space for getting ready.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
The port was easy to navigate and find a taxi. The island is beautiful.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
The port was convenient to the city and finding transportation was easy. The forts and Old San Juan were very interesting and the views were amazing.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We prefer to walk all the way down the beach to Jack's Shack and we love this port.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We had an issue with announcements and ended up being in the last group to exit the ship. Disembarkation was fine except for the miscommunication for the folks waiting on the lido deck.

Thanks for posting such a great review. We will be on Breeze in 14 days - different itinerary, but same CD and I would think much of the same entertainers. It was good to see your great experience!
