Carnival Breeze Cruise Reviews - Reviews

What an awful experience. How do you replace a vacation?

I enjoyed my cruise. The ports ,well I guess maybe I expected to much. I think the ports should have more there. It would b nice to b able to see a nice beach without having to go on all of the expensive excursions. Also the casino was so smokey. It would b nice to have a smoke free casino.

entertainment was wonderful loved the 6 O'clock Dock Band they are fantastic. The desserts at the buffet is excellent ,delicious. The crew were friendly and helpful through out the ship.

This was our first Journey cruise but it won’t be our last!

I have been cruising since 2001 a d I don't intend to stop now.During that time I cruised once with Royal Carribean and I did not enjoy it.I went back to Carnival and wow..that's my favourite cruise line.

Our first Journeys cruise it was AWESOME.The carnival breeze staff was great.The food was outstanding.The ship is very clean!! Met some great people!!

Where to begin, this was first time on Carnival and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I went in skeptical because I was loyal to royal but needed to try carnival. Overall I thought the ship itself was good not great but I would definitely sail her again. I personally found the food to be okay nothing special but I ate good everyday with the only complaint being the marketplace breakfast buffet on port days. I thought the menu to be really limited. We tried the MDR for breakfast one day and opted for that the remainder of the cruise. I found Guys Burgers to be good at best I could take it or leave it. Now my waiters in the Blush Dining Room lower level were phenomenal. Everyday they greeted us by name and inquired about our day. They took their time to explain the menu and to give recommendations including saying certain foods were bland or just not good at all. Any other request we made was granted immediately. I asked for ice tea one night and they had it ready the rest of our cruise. Our Cruise Director Schwartz was great. He got and kept everybody involved. I love the fact that he was out everywhere and approachable by everyone. He really made this cruise fun. Now for a couple minor things I found. As I stated I am loyal to royal with that being said I didn’t like how during embarkation we stepped on the ship out side on deck 3 then came in and it was like a little corridor to the atrium. I think the way the other cruise line does it where you step onboard and get that immediate wow moment because your in the promenade/atrium not a little corridor walking to the atrium. That may just be a ship design but to me that’s the moment to shine. I also found the entertainment to be sub par. While they (carnival singers and dancers) are way better then anything I could do they reminded me more of high school musical. I love live music and I think having a live band playing on stage with them would’ve made such an improvement to the performances. My final semi complaint isn’t about this ship personally but I absolutely hate the cheers package they offer. I know I didn’t have to buy it but carnival as well as the other cruise lines place to many restrictions on it. I couldn’t get a bucket of beers, certain drinks that come with a shot I had to wait 5 minutes to get the shot. I prefer double shots but that too wasn’t allowed on cheers package. They wouldn’t even serve liquor soda and bottled water at the same time. In closing Carnival Breeze was a fun ship to sail with plenty of things to do. You’ll have a great time on her and if you don’t, start by looking in the mirror because that may just be the reason you didn’t like her.

We didn't choose this itinerary for the ports- Other than PR, it was disappointing.

We had a great time on the Breeze this past week! The ship is kept immaculate and the staff was friendly and helpful. Only complaint we had was the food in the MDR was less than thrilling most nights but our server Maja was awesome!

We enjoyed the Breeze overall. It was our first cruise and we may have set our expectations too high. We had several disappointments ... the windows (outside) especially on the Lido deck were dirty and messed up the view and the photos we took from inside. The rest of the ship was very clean. The quality of food on the first and 2nd night (which was Captain's night) in the main dining room was not good and we were not offered any beverage besides water. We didn't return to the MDR after those first 2 nights. Breakfast on the Lido deck was good (especially the omelet station) but was the same every morning we ate there which was 5 out of 7 mornings. Room service was good (BLT and wings were really good) but they came about 30 minutes earlier than we requested both mornings we had ordered breakfast the night before, which woke us up earlier than we would have liked. We really enjoyed the CD Steven Schwartz, he seemed to be everywhere we were and brought many smiles and laughs! Don't pack too much like we did and be sure to bring a power strip or extension cord as there was only one outlet in our inside room. Bring your own cup for beverages with meals (or just in general) on the Lido deck unless you like drinking from a very small cup (maybe 8 oz.) Embark and Debark were both really quick and smooth. Our room steward Ludo on deck 7 was awesome and always called us by name anytime we passed him in the hall etc. We were happy with our interior room which was mid ship in both directions. It was quiet, nice and dark for sleeping and had plenty of room for the 2 of us. We were glad we saved money by booking the interior room so we had more to spend on excursions.

Had a wonderful time. Looking forward to another soon.

Food was good. Also the servers. Entertainment was OK.

Overall pretty satisfied with the cruise! Only complaint is that the dinning room seemed under staffed, dinner took about 2 hours every night. Shouldn’t take that long. This was my second time on this ship and I love her just the same, but it was definitely different this time. Wasn’t a huge fan of the CD Schwartz, but we had The Flying Scotsman earlier this year so no one can really compare to that experience as he is phenomenal!!!

State room was less than clean when we got there - found several long, dark hairs (we are both blonde) in the bed and bathroom. Service the first night was horrible, but after a discussion with the maitre-d we got a new waiter and the service was considerably better for the rest of the week. Overall, food was average - some dishes were very good, some were very bad. We had a food allergy issue, in that even after warning the waiter at breakfast, I was still served something that was filled with the allergen in question, which took its toll and basically tied us to the ship one of the days in port, causing us to miss out on the port. Experience on the ship was fun, but there were several guests around us that were extraordinarily loud in the middle of the night every night (2-5 am) and there was no follow through from security. If you're looking for a party, this is the way to go. If you want to relax, this is probably not your best bet.

The best cruise by far! The staff, entertainment, and ports were amazing and top notch. You will not be disappointed with the Carnival Breeze.

We had a blast. We ate the best food and had so much fun. Can't wait to do it again.

I know I am not alone to say we will be missing the Breeze leaving from the Galveston port, I have met a lot of great people and had a blast with the fine crew that served us. I wish them smooth waters and safe travels.

Breeze is a great ship and Galveston is an easy port to use.

I had such a great time my husband and I are going this May.... already want to plan the next one after this one lol

My second cruise and my favorite, 1st time on carnival and will be booking again soon the staff was amazing, really enjoyed all the ports, took my 14 year old daughter and niece who was 1st time cruisers cant wait for our next cruise coming up in December.
