Review summary

I don't recommend this cruise ship. I have been on several cruises and have never been 'bored' on the boat except for this one. More activities are needed as well as more pool space.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main dining room - the food was good, but service was slow. Specialty restaurants - n/a. Buffet - over crowded, not enough food stations. By the time you got back to your table, your food was cold due to the overcrowding.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

mini golf - good. theater - good. comedian - not very good. game shows - good. hot tubs - good. pool - not enough pool areas, two small pools for 4000+ people

Entertainment

3 out of 5

cruise director - good, very funny and entertaining

Children's Programs

no children

The Breeze is our favorite ship. Sailed three times. All great cruises. The food was good. Service was good. Cabin was good. Will sail on her again.
