Review summary

The cruise was ok with beautiful scenes, but the ship seems outdated and the entertainment is subpar. Buffet food is cafeteria style. The Guys BBQ needs to be removed, the brisket was terrible and too tough to eat or chew. Main dining and Guys burgers are the good food options. I miss the Indian food the ship once had, but has been replaced with Seafood Shack.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining and Guys Burgers were always good. Guys BBQ was disappointing with tough beef. Lido buffet was just ok. Nothing special. Desserts were not impressive. Cafeteria food on a cruise ship.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Hot tub was nice.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Flick show was okay. 2 female singers were excellent. Comedian JR Brow was excellent, but comedian Steve Mazan was not funny and some people left during performance. Bingo was ok.

Children's Programs

Didn't bring kids

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

The removal of dirty dishes in the common area seemed slow. This ship needs a makeover or needs to retire.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We actually saw dust on the walls of our cabin, stain on sheet, cove balcony has dried paint droppings everywhere. The Breeze needs to be revamped or retired.

Ship tip

Don't expect elegance or beauty

100%agree with you. Being from Texas, that’s nothing near to be bbq. I think I saw flick on my first 2010 cruise. Why is still even there. And singers, not from the USA trying to sing country music sucks too. Last cruise we were on , we passed on all the shows being reruns. We now cruise only for the boat ride. Still the best bang for the buck, but it’s starting to get expensive…

Wow, a lot of years has passed since they got rid of the Tandoori. I miss them as well as I was one of the few truly unique places to eat on the ship. And you can count me in as being no fan of guys barbeque. I just don't find it good enough.

The Breeze is awesome. Their thellosotherapy pool and spa are is the best and absolutely not to be missed. Guys BBQ has many choices besides the brisket if that wasn't to your liking.
