Review summary

The Breeze sailed at full capacity but the crew was severely under-staffed. Lots of lines and lots of waiting. We are hoping that this will improve on our next cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Boarded right after Suites. Went smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Multiple drink machine outages in the Lido Marketplace. Coffee, Juice, Water, Hot Chocolate, and even Ice dispensers out of service for extended periods. Many tables were not cleaned which caused people to have to wait for a table. Food in Main Dining just not what it used to be.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5
No Headliners, just ship performers doing some song and dance. Comedy shows were OK.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone we encountered were friendly and helpful but it was clear that the ship had serious staffing shortages.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Clean ship, crew could be seen cleaning constantly.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Port side, last cabin before Bridge. Enjoyed being able to look down and see the ocean instead of Deck 5.

Ship tip

Check out all of the free dining options!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Always like Galveston. We visit here often.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel is always fun. On this trip we did a 2-tank Scuba Dive excursion through the ship which used AquaWorld dive company. These guys made for an excellent fun adventure!

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
Don't just stay at the port. Take the free shuttle into town or book one of many great excursions. We did Uxmal Mayan Ruins and it was fantastic.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We did Priority Self-disembark and walked right off the ship smoothly.

I think it’s about to be the cruise season of short staff.
