Review summary

Overall I enjoyed this cruise a lot. The cruise director was okay not one of my favorites. The staff were constantly reminding guests about their mask and when in the different areas were reminded that it was a sip and cover venue. The staff seemed as if they were extra friendly than usual. You always saw workers cleaning. I would definitely sail on the BREEZE again.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
We needed wheelchair assistance and wheelchairs were hard to come by so we had to wait about 40 minutes before a wheelchair was available. Other than waiting for the wheelchair the process was smooth and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The staff was always cleaning. The staff was very friendly on this cruise. The buffet area was clean and staff were reminding guests to wear a mask when they did not have one on. I only went to the dining room for brunch and my only complaint about it was they sat us with 3 other couples and I did not like that if we are supposed to social distance and we did not know the other people.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
You could always find something to do. I visited the fitness center in the morning which was clean and not packed. I also did the ropes course and it was empty I am assuming because it was not a lot of kids on board. I also stayed on the ship when in port and did trivia and charades which was a lot of fun.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were great. I really enjoyed FLICK. The DJ's were great on deck and in the nightclubs.

Children's Programs

We did not sail with any kids on this cruise

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff were awesome and the service was great. My room steward Asep was awesome. We really enjoyed Ashley who was the host in the buffet and brunch areas.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout was easy to follow and the decor was good. The common areas were clean and maintained very well

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was my first cove balcony and it was okay. Being that close to the water was not impressive to me. I do not think I will book another cove balcony due to the location. I like being more midship so I can take the stairs easily to get up and down to food an activities.

Ship tip

Get to the comedy show early. There was always a line an hour before the show started. Please wear your mask this is not a maskless cruise. So many passengers were having to be told to put a mask on. I want cruising to continue. Also when visiting the buffet and other areas please sanitize your hands.

Ports of call

I believe the crew is doing a much better job of cleaning because when the ship has no passengers and not sailing due to Covid their pay goes down big time due to no tips and gratuities.

I think the Carnival line attracts a certain type of people, and while things have changed some due to Covid, not all the people do as well. You can only worry about you and not everyone else

Thanks. We have switched to Princess. Seemed staff had a different attitude than Carnival. More adult professional. I think the difference is the younger crowd on Carnival.
