Review summary

Overall this was an amazing cruise and I am already looking at booking on the Breeze again for next summer. It went by way too fast, but it was the perfect length for the kiddo. He started to miss home and his dog by the last sea day, I could have used one more day, but that is just me.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
I only give it a 3 because the line was unbelievably long. People just showed up with no regard to their boarding times. We have never had to wait in line like we did this time, however once it began to move, it went fairly fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything was amazing! Even the tea and coffee seemed to be better this trip. No complaints at all!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We watched a lot of the activities the Fun Squad did on the lido deck, mini-golf had a lack of balls but we managed to find one and use it the entire trip. The pools were busy as always but managed to enjoy them several times.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We didn't watch any shows, but the DJ's and the cruise director were great!

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
I am going to say Camp Ocean was good..my son did not attend except for one day. They had video games but limited the time so he wasn't interested in going again. But from what I saw, all the other kids were having a blast!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I've seen posts and reviews that the service and the staff were lacking. That was not the case on our sailing. The wait staff in the MDR was amazing, sure the lines were long for Guy's Burgers and Pizza, but if you could wait a bit, they went down quickly. Always prompt service at the bars and in the shops.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I loved this ship! I felt at home, and for once I didn't get lost!!! Sure you could nit-pick and say it needed paint here and there but I tend to look past that, because, hello salt water! The staff was always cleaning no matter what time of day it was.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Typical balcony room, great bed, pillows view etc. It wasn't far from elevators or stairs when needed

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
We just stayed at the port and used the pool there. Walked the shops and just enjoyed time with our friends.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I love this port. The water is so blue and amazing! We went to Chakannab Park for the day and it was great.. Food was OK, and the drinks were a little watered down, but they kept them coming and even gave us a deal on a dolphin interaction towards the end of our stay.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
There has got to be a better way to get 3500 people off a ship. This is always the worst part for me, just takes too long and people tend to be rude. Plus, it makes me sad to go home :p

Regarding embarkation and people disregarding their boarding times.... Welcome to America 2022 where it's all about me and nobody else. No seriously people nowadays really don't seem to care about anyone but themselves. Outside of my job as a trucker and a few cruises I haven't been to other countries but from what little international experience I have, it seems particularly bad with Americans. I don't include myself when I say us, but most us are just plain selfish. I'm going on the breeze in August.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise. I know you’ve been looking forward to it. Sorry the youth program wasn’t a better fit this time. It’s sometimes good to leave wanting a bit more. We usually feel that way. The few times we were ready (or more than ready) to get off, left us wondering if it was time to find another type of vacation. Appreciate your feedback.
