Review summary

Just got off Carnival Breeze in Houston, TX 08/21/21 AMA. We were two families, One with kids aged 10,12,14 and the other 11 and 14. Our check-in time was 10:30am. Used the VIP parking as it was closest to the boarding site ($110 for 5-days) - The walk was short, police escort to cross to the other side The boarding process for us was a little difficult because we had 12 year old not vaccinated due to a medical condition. - $150 charge for each unvaccinated child. - Insurance required for 12 y/o u vaccinated ($50 through Carnival) We were taken upstairs with the entire family and waited for the test and results ~30 minutes. - Received a negative test and continued to board. It was not packed at all, I’m guessing 60% capacity. The experience was just like any other cruise, great staff, some unruly cruisers. Not a whole lot of fuss, more people wore their masks. I only spotted a few people who did not wear it while in the buffet. - I wished they required gloves prior to touching the tongs as you got the food yourself.

Relax and enjoy!

Glad you had a great time & ewww, can’t believe they don’t have those clear disposable gloves for the buffet. Every casino buffet we’ve gone to since covid started has had those or served food to the patrons. Step it up Carnival.
