Review summary

For my first cruise, everything was okay. I did not know what to expect but it was not a bad experience. I do not know if I will cruise with the breeze again but I loved the experience. I am looking at other cruises to see which one would be a great fit for me. I will shop around before booking. The breeze was just okay and a starting point.

We did the 4 day cruises at the beginning also. They were nice but when we started sailing longer it got so much better. So far a 10 day is our longest but next September 2024 we are planning a 15 day er. Thanks for sharing

Highly recommend if you have the time make seven days your minimum for cruising. It's nice to take a full week off, it let's you settle in and get to know your ship. It also gives you a chance to relax and enjoy your vacation. We started with a four day cruise to see if we would like it, then did a three day quicky, which sucked time on ship wise, then settled into seven day cruises. I'm trying to talk the wife into a 14-day one, but she doesn't have the time off I do.

That's a very positive outlook. A 2-4 day cruise can be iffy on any cruise line. Going on the lower prices lines make it even iffier.

Thank you for sharing your cruise. You said buffet food was ok, I hope you went to Seaday brunch and the main dining room that are included in your cruise.Our first trip we only went one night,now it's buffet,maybe one night.

Glad that you somewhat enjoyed and will continue to shop around. We have enjoyed the Breeze and found plenty to do for us. Hope your next is even more enjoyable.

Not sure what made it just ok. Breeze is one of our favorite ships. Hopefully you'll find what fits for you.
