Review summary

We love the Carnival Breeze. Great cruise for our 38th anniversary. Really the only let down was the entertainment on this cruise. It was not like this in March or December, so I’m sure it is an anomaly. Seas were super calm and glassy the entire cruise. June cruises definitely have more children, so keep that in mind. The staff shortages were noticeable, but did not impact us directly. I would be excited to get on this ship again!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We basically walked right on the ship. Each embarkation since the restart has been great.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was great. MDR, Guy’s, Blue Iguana, 555 Steakhouse, Bonsai Sushi, and Seafood Shack were all great. No disappointments.

Atrium Bar

5 out of 5

Rung and Rey were the best bartenders we had! Great cocktails.

Sapphire Dining Room

5 out of 5

MDR was awesome this trip. Food was hot and delicious.

Guy's Burger Joint

5 out of 5

We had Guy’s twice. Both time they were great! I did a bbq burger on embarkation. Plain Jane I put grilled onions and brown sugar bbq sauce. Yum! Later in the week, I did the Straight Up with ketchup and mustard! Equally as good!

Fahrenheit 555

4 out of 5

Solid Steakhouse experience.

Always fantastic.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Activities were plentiful and well run. My buddy won trivia, Cartoon Trivia.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

So disappointed with the entertainment on this cruise. All the playlist production shows were done on stools with no dancing or background video. This was Not due to high seas. Seas were perfectly calm. Breeze rock band was not good. We usually love sitting in Ocean Plaza listening to the bands, but this group was not up to par. Scott Lucile was the only bright spot here.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Amazing as always. Ida was our cabin steward. Probably the best we’ve had. Ship was kept super clean!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was super clean despite unruly guests leaving discarded items in elevators, stairways and other venues.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This is a great cabin. It is one of the L shaped balcony cabins in the rear of the ship. It has an extended balcony for the same price as a regular balcony cabin. It has two chairs, table and lounger.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Fast and easy. Best debarkation since the restart!
