Western Caribbean Relaxation and Revitalization by schaller6pack

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Spending time with my wife traveling to beautiful locations is a great time. Being able to relax and not worry about the logistic of traveling, room and board once we boarded the ship is something that I always enjoy.

The ship staff on the Breeze were very friendly and treated us very well. Our room steward Fazaun was fantastic, so were the two head waiters Yaco and Putu. There was also a multitude of things to do when out to sea along with some great food. When you include this with stops and excursions in beautiful places, it makes for a very relaxing and revitalizing time. Time well spent..

A cruise we'll never forget!!! by nolanfam

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

My husband and I have been on cruises previously however, it was a first for our son and daughter. They and we, loved EVERY minute of the cruise!!! The staff, the activities for kids, our Director Leigh, the food, it doesn't end!!! Everything about the cruise went better than we could've ever expected!! They have the best programs for kids, hours of entertainment and food to accommodate everyone!! Even the guests on the boat were all fantastic!!! Can't wait for next year when we cruise Carnival again!!!! Happy

our feelings by rachtheboat812

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

We enjoyed the time at sea. The biggest disappointment was not being invited to the repeat cruise party. We have been on 25 cruises and this was the first time. It cost the company very little and it hurt that we weren't invited.

 We also noted the LACK of white table cloths at dinner. I believe there was only one night that they were used. Also I see you are increasing the work load of the room cleaning staff. Rooms are only cleaned once per day although there is an option for two times. I talked to the head of the hotel/room department and it was indicated 10 rooms were added to each cleaning crew and the crew size was reduced. As a result we we would have felt bad to have the cleaning people come twice a day. These are little things BUT it is what made a cruise special.

 Finally the night shows are not as classy as they used to be and there are less of them.

   My only hope in all of this is that you don't go the same direction as the airline industry has done. Fortunately we have had many great cruises in the past.

First Time Cruisers by jennersboyd

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

My husband and I went on this trip with 3 children, a 5 year old daughter and two 17 year olds. I was a little worried that we would not have enough for all 3 age groups to enjoy but I was so wrong. All of us had an amazing time and there was definitely something for everyone.  We all had a blast and were left happy, very full and very tired at the end of each day. It was the best family trip we have ever taken and will absolutely do it again. Thank you so much and Kevin for all your help! And thank you to Carnival for running such an amazing business.

Another great cruise by CJAbernathy

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Food was great. We ate in the dining room every night. Ate at Bonsai Sushi a couple of times for lunch and it was good. Did not mind paying the charge. Glad carnival offers bottle water to buy. Next time I will take advantage of social media for a week for $30. Enjoyed the thrill theater. Our dining crew was great. Would recommend this ship to others.

 

Never could get through to room service to have the water delivered so had to call guest services. Bathroom by limelight lounge should have been designed bigger. Remote control for TV would not always work. Thought the shows were lacking compared to other cruises. We tried to avoid walking through the casino because it was so smoky. Very disappointed when bartenders used cheap liquor to make cocktails or not put much liquor in the drinks for what they cost. Learned later, if they pulled out a bottle from under the cabinet, it was the cheap liquor. We started ordering beer.

Review by joycebrown64jrb

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

My husband and I have cruised over 20 times, and we loved the Carnival Breeze.  Our cabin was very nice and all the staff was wonderful.  However, I was quite disappointed in our table in the Blush Dining room.  There were so many nice locations but we were in a small cubby hole divided from the rest of the patrons by a wall.  We could not see what was going on.  When the staff sang and danced, and even when they sang our "goodbye song" on the main staircase, we could see nothing!  I really do not think anyone should be seated there.  Other than that we enjoyed the itinerary, the food, the staff and the rest of the cruise.

Not your standard Carnival Ship by skjjmoore

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

We really enjoyed this cruise.  The Carnival Breeze has a tropical decor ... not plastic unique themes.  Boarding went well and debarkation was ahead of time.  Grand Cayman was a wonderful stop.  Snorkeling was great.  Try to make all the shows aboard the Breeze.  The Country Road was the only one that did not exceed expectations.

First Cruise by rocknmidwife

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

This was my first cruise of any kind.  Wasn't sure what to expect, but it was fun!  You do have to make your own experience.  The dining room food was excellent!  The drinks package was worth it for me.  The entertainment was of good quality. It was amazing to be able to step on board and just relax and get taken care of.  Carnival and the Breeze crew did a good job with it.

7 Nighter to a 6 Nighter by jskiplee

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Great cruise, but limited to 6 nights due to fog for previous cruise and to ask for a survey by asking about the 7 Nighter is not correct. The food was good at times and a disappointment at other times.  The desserts were a super disappointment with many having little or no taste.

Loved my Western Caribbean Cruise!! by rootsntexas

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

This cruise is wonderful! It was our 2nd time to take this exact cruise, and we loved it just as much this time around. These islands are beautiful and fun to visit. The Atlantis submarine and Land Rover/River Boat Jungle Tours were awesome and we had such a blast!! I can't wait until we get to go cruising again!!

Lots of lines, lots of people by kbryan808

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Liked the food choices and entertainment on board, but found we had to go half an hour early to shows to get a seat, and there were always lines for meals.  I particularly liked the choices of Mexican at Blueiguana, Indian at Tandori, Mongolian BBQ, burgers and pizza besides the dining rooms, restaurants and the Lido buffet.  We skipped our dining room option several times because we didn't like the menu choices.   I think there should be some form of seating available for those who find standing for more than a hour in lines while boarding difficult.  Perhaps they do not provide this so you will purchase "faster to the fun" to avoid this problem.   Very disappointed that our ship could not dock on Sunday due to fog so we only had a 6 day cruise and missed Belize.  We traveled about 5,000 miles to for this trip.  We understand it was a weather problem and beyond the control of Carnival, but it was still disappointing to only have 2 ports.  Carnival said they would reimburse one day's charges within 3 weeks.  They did credit our on-board account with the prepaid gratuities and Belize excursion right away.   When we booked we were promised on-board credits but were not told some were refundable and some were not.  We also booked our airfare with Carnival which I would not do again because I paid right away but 6 weeks later the airline website did not show they had received payment, so Carnival used our money all that time.  As a result of payment not received we were unable to upgrade our seating to priority seats, and by the time it finally cleared the priority seats we preferred were not available on two of the 4 flights.

My 7 day cruise done in 6. by mamajo730

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Roomy balcony rooms.  I was a little disappointed that they had stopped supplying hand and body lotion.  The coffee was really bad.  You could get good coffee at the coffee kiosk but you had to pay for it.  The food in the dining room and buffet was very good.

Carnival Sub-par = Cruising by valgraden

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Carnival cruise lines are a BIG step down from their competitors!

I have cruised  multiple times and choose this line due to the dates and ports.

Should have done more research: Food mediocre, shows were short in duration, but that was fine in that the performers were high school level. 

The on board activities were mostly sales oriented.

They did offer outdoor movies which was a lovely venue, unfortunately the time they offered them,7:00 made it impossible to do the fine dining since that ran from 6-8:15.

 

Did enjoy the TWO ports, as we were delayed a days sailing, and in turn lost Belize as stop.

Carnival could of speed up the ship and got us into all three ports had they been motivated. They offered no compensation, just prorated our costs.

I know I sound like a disgruntled cruiser, we had a relaxing time and found some quiet spots and made the ports our emphasis. The stops were lovely and am thrilled to have had the chance to snorkel and see the tropical locations, beautiful!!

Not a great experience by Cruiser51337508

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

Unfortunately this was not a great vacation. We did not get to go to Belize because of weather in Galveston Texas. The food on the ship was not good, staff was not very friendly, entertainment on ship was not good, two fights broke out on the ship and you are limited to 15 drinks a day.

Would have been the best cruise yet had it not been for the cruise director... by aleecia2331

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

We had a wonderful cruise. The food was good. The shows were excellent. The atmosphere pleasant. Although we had a few hiccups I feel I should mention.#1 There was a fowl odor at mid ship on 3 an 4 decks for most of the cruise. I asked guest services and they said they are working on it. Didn't ever go away. #2 The cruise director was annoyed during the morning show because my son was falling asleep and threatened to throw something at him. I thought he was kidding but he said "I am serious, wake him up or I will throw something at him." It was very embarrassing and a lot of people were staring at us. It put a major damper on our fun. Who does that to a teenager? They are subconscious enough as it is. To single him out in a negative way was just plain mean. It bothered my son for the rest of the cruise. Thus bothering the entire family.

Best staff by peterquach12

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean - Western

The staff on board were fantastic! Every request made, they will do. The room was alway clean and all of the hallways are clean. A person vomited in one of the hallways from motion sickness and it was cleaned up within 5 minutes. The crew and the staff are very attentive. They will notice broken glasses, dirt, and trash and pick it up immediately. The bar staff makes fantastic drinks and the waitstaff are all sweet and gets your orders precisely the way you want it.

Not a happy cruiser by sabrebrian

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Breeze / Destination: Caribbean

This is probably the worst travel related let down I have ever experienced. After hearing so many great, fun stories about going on cruises, the amazing food, and the entertainment this adventure was a big disappointment. I felt like I was a captive audience for every money grabbing gimmick the cruise line could come up with. Days were planned out on the ship but much of what was on the schedule was designed to sell to passenger more, which is not entertainment. Too many kids under the age of 10 on the cruise, 1500 kids as reported by the cruise director. Kids running up and down the halls yelling and stomping around until early morning. The food was geared for the kids with basic burgers, pizza and cafeteria food with only pizza being available all the time. Customer service required standing in lines for 30-45 minutes, which occurred numerous times a day. This is not the way I had envisioned spending time on a cruise. Overall I would rate this cruise very poor bordering on terrible although the staff on the ship was great, great attitudes and VERY friendly. This was my first and last cruise.

Carnival Breeze 12/26/2016 by syreeta

The Cloud 9 Spa was my favorite! Our Room Steward and Dinning Room staff were exceptional! Everyone was so attentive to our request. The decor of The Breeze is my favorite so far.
