Review summary

A much needed long-weekend getaway. This was the best of the shorter cruises we've none. Minimal children (likely due to the time of year) and definitely not a booze cruise vibe (for those concerned about that). Met some very friendly people from various places.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Galveston cruise terminal has come a long way from what it once was...for the better! Overall, embarkation was seamless and we were on the boat prior to 11am after a brief wait.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Overall, we really enjoyed all the food we tried with good/positive experiences in the Steakhouse and Cucina Italian! Seaday Brunch dining room service was the best we've experienced in years. Guy's BBQ could have been better/hotter. Blue Iguana Cantina was one of our casual favorites for breakfast & lunch as always! My wife loves the Bonsai Sushi!

Onboard Activities

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Phenomenal! This staff is among the best. Always smiling and kept a positive attitude.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Incredible that the Breeze originally debuted in 2012 and still remains this clean and in this good of condition. The staff was always hard at it keeping everything in tip-top shape, for a ship this age.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We really liked our location directly across the hall from the workout facility/spa entrance. Layout was good and the bed was comfortable. Wonderful view from the balcony at the front top/front of the ship! The only downfall was the noise heard and vibrations felt coming from the workout facility. Unfortunately, a leg press weight machine is directly opposite the shared wall between the cabin and workout room.

Ship tip

Non-smoking Annex Casino on Deck 4 with it's own bar, TVs, and coffee/espresso machine! The Serenity bar was a peaceful getaway from the rest of the ship.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
We use www.PortParking.com for indoor secured parking and their shuttle service is fast/friendly/efficient.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We took the opportunity to walk around, relax, and enjoy the view.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
With FTTF, we were off the ship and at our car prior to 8:00am (on the roading driving at 7:57am to be exact)!

I should have mentioned, this was our second time on Breeze, the first was in 2017. We also sailed Jubilee in February, but neither one of us cared for the Excel-Class. The spa on Breeze was hands down bigger/better.

Maybe you're right and all the riff-raff have gone back to school. The number of positive reviews for the Breeze has really shot up.
