Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The MDR was good and the staff were excellent. The Steakhouse was okay. The steak I ordered was a little on the tough side. When I told the staff, they gave me a filet which was better. Cucino del Capitano was good. No issues there. The Marketplace buffet was also good. Guy's Burger Joint and the Blue Iguana we great.

Pizzeria

4 out of 5

Not much of a pizza person anymore, but the pizza was good.

Onboard Activities

Intended to go to the fitness center but never quite made it.

Photo Gallery

5 out of 5

Purchased 3 photos and was very happy with them.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We went to the adult comedy show. It was great. Two separate comedians in one show. There was a musical group playing in the Ocean Plaza that was very good.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The stateroom steward was great. He gave us an extra turn down service. Elsewhere the staff was very good and accommodating. One staff member at the MDR gave me a Carnival shot glass on the last night.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I cruised on the Magic which is the same class ship as the Breeze. Getting around was familiar to me. But if you're new to the Breeze, you shouldn't have any difficulties. The ship was clean and well-maintained from what I could see.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Having never booked more than a regular balcony, the Ocean Suite we were in was definitely bigger with more space in the room and the balcony. The bathroom was bigger with a bathtub and a glass-doored shower.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

3 out of 5
Typical port.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
We booked Uchbenkah. About a 50-minute drive from the port. Uchbenkah is a lagoon with drinks and lunch included. My girlfriend decided to use the canoes, which were also included. She made several trips in the lagoon and even talked me into going once. I have to admit it was fun.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We booked a trip to Mr. Sanchos but our 2 ports were flipped-flopped due to a medical emergency. So, we canceled Mr. Sancho and stayed in port for shopping.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Disembarkation was as per usual a pain in the ass. Long winding lines, confusion and passengers not following instructions. Even ran into one very rude staff member at the elevator.
