Review summary

Just had a wonderful time and really enjoyed my first time on The Breeze, it is a lovely ship and will definitely sail on her again. This was a great cruise and so great to be back cruising again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
All flowed smooth and we were in boarding lounge very quickly It was a little slow from there but all went well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
So glad that the buffet was open and we used it daily. Everything was fresh and choices were great. One of my friends loved Guy's Burgers and she had that daily. Main dining room was good and the service was outstanding as usual. Staff pleasant and friendly and loved that they still do their nightly dancing.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We went to the Pool a lot and the only complaint was that they don't have an adults pool end or if it was the staff was not stopping children coming into that pool. With all the drinking and conversations and behavior of some that just were wasted I don't think that is the atmosphere for children. Didn't visit any of the other activities but did use the Cloud 9 Spa.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Did not go to any of the stage shows, we found the Breeze Band times conflicted with the stage shows and we just loved the Breeze Band they were awesome and we spent a lot of time watching them and enjoying their music. The musicians on this cruise were all really good and enjoyed the music on deck with the DJ.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff were fabulous and all staff encountered were pleasant and friendly and really helpful, The two main ones I would certainly like to mention was our room steward Marichil. She was amazing and had our room spotless and took care of any requests that we had. It was pleasant to chat with her and see her in the hallways, she was just awesome. The other one was Eva the lady that we had at the Spa she was fabulous and asked for her specifically on my second visit to the spa for treatments. She was just great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This was my first time cruising on The Breeze and I loved it. This was cruise #8 for me but first for my two girlfriends with me.Loved the lobby area and the atrium layout and the overall layout was great. Really like this ship. The staff were cleaning non stop and the ship and all amenities were continually clean at all times. Plenty of hand sanitizing units to use as well,

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The suite was spotlessly clean and the bathroom was well equipped. This was my first time in a suite and we had so much more room than even the balcony I had previously stayed in. Lots of room to walk and lots of closet and drawer space. It was extremely comfortable and loved the bigger balcony. Our room steward kept our room extremely clean and of course loved that we still got towel animals (it's a fun thing that i enjoy)

Ship tip

Make sure to walk the ship and look at all the decor and different rooms it was really lovely

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Had an absolute blast. We hired a gold cart from Eduardo & Jordan and just had so much fun. We just drove around and got to see so much and visit lots of drinking places which were recommended and some we had free margaritas because we had the gold cart from them. The other shopping area and the Krazy Lobster were a lot of fun and we came back into the main shopping area and also did some shopping but the staff isn't as friendly there as at the other shopping places. I like Costa Maya and have booked the golf cart again when I go back in Feb 2022

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
This was visit number 6 out of 8 cruises for Cozumel and I just love to go there. Just love the shopping and we had one of the best excursions I have had in Cozumel. We did the Exclusive Dolphin Swim VIP Experience. It was amazing. We spent quite a lot of time in the pool with the dolphins and they pulled us across the pool and kissed us and danced and just came around so we could cuddle and pet it was just awesome, It was food and drink included and we were served a 3 course meal that was outstanding and lots of Pina Colada (that was my drink of choice) but it was an open bar so you could pick what you wanted and it was waiter service. It was just a WOW of a day and experience and will do it again for sure.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was mush faster than I expected which was a pleasant surprise and all went very smoothly,
