Carnival Breeze Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The ship was called the Breeze but the ship did not live up to it's name.  This was my 10th cruise and my 9th  with Carnival.  I found the ship to be cramped with little room to move around.  The food was ok, and the staff in the gift shops was horrible. I am finding that the quality of Carnival cruises is going down. My goal was to try every Carnival ship, but I think my next cruise will be on Royal Caribbean.

This was my 21st cruise. I am a Gold member for Carnival's club.

This ship was super nice, clean and very modern.

I was VERY dissapointed with the main restaurant dining. Our service

was slow nightly and the food was either not warm enough of simply

not warm at all.

Other then the main dinner dining, everything was EXCELLENT!

The ship was beatiful the servise was great both for dining and room readiness.But the shows were amateur hour. after 36 cruises this was the worst i see n of all the cruise lines. I did  that kind of shows in college 26 years ago.

My vacation on the Carnial Breeze was a vey relaxing one. The whole experience was great and I have no complaints. The staff, food, shows and overall activity were just great. I would Deffinately do another Carnival Cruise again one day. 

To celebrate my boyfriend's special birthday, we took the 6-day Caribbean cruise on the Breeze Oct.6-12, 2013.  Fabulous time all round.  My 3rd cruise, his 1st and surely not our last.  We enjoyed so many of the fantastic events and features of Carnival's 2012 launched Breeze.

The variety of activities well into the night, had us on the go...dancing, being entertained or simply racing up the stairs all day long.

The choices of restaurants....hmm..we ran out of days before we got to try all that was offered.  Darrell promises to get to Guy's Burgers sooner than later.  I say, "ok, let's do it!!" lol

One of our favourite new "traditions" was a pizza around midnight followed by a round of mini golf on the highest point of the glorious ship at 2 a.m. during our first night.  We felt like kids!

Our Ocean Suite was superb.  Darrell loved the towel animals that found themselves on our bed each evening....I promptly moved them to the couch across the room. 3's a crowd!!

The only issue we will report was our Cabin Steward, Sergeii.  My previous cruise experiences had the designated cabin steward show up daily, enquiring about our stay and if we had anything that concerned us.  We had nothing to report about our accommodations but we were very disappointed in the fact that the only couple of times that we ran into Sergeii was in the hallway as we crossed paths.  I believe he should have been more visible to have touched base with us.  I will say that the additional "envelope" that we left in the room was definitely for housekeeping and not for the Sergeii.

We are concerned that with his lurking around our room at the time of our vacating the Ocean Suite, he might have taken the "envelope" intended for housekeeping and they would have missed out on our monetary appreciation of being on top of things during our stay.

We are looking forward to doing this all over again....look out waterslides, we are coming back!!

This cruise on the Breeze was easily the most enjoyable one my wife and I have taken recently. The ship was beautiful. The entire staff was very friendly, helpful and efficient. The entertainment was first class and the food plentiful and delicious. One minor complaint--the slots could have been a little looser. Overall a great experience which we hope to repeat as soon as possible.

Everything on the cruise was great, except for the food. This was probably my 5th cruise and I have never experience such bad service and quality of food. On the other hand our room steward was amazing we loved all of the ports. 

For a new ship it has alot to be desired.  The quality just isn't there.  Very cheaply made and not kept up at all.  Carpeting very dirty on stairways and Lido's.  Our stateroom wasn't ready when we arrived.  No towels, bathroom door had toothpaste on it.  Finger prints out outside door and the cabinets inside.  Chocolate under the bed, dust bunnies along the wall.  The workers weren't overly friendly and didn't act like they enjoyed their jobs at all.  Diningroom workers in no hurry to clean up the tabels.  A few times we had to clean off our own.  Food was ok but what they offer for room serve the may as well not do it.  The ports were nice stops.

We had a wonderful time on the Carnival Breeze - the ship is absolutely beautiful, the food wonderful, and the staff attentive to our every need.  Special highlights include a large number of trivia games offered daily, afternoon tea on sea days, and Guy's hamburger joint.  Ports of call included Grand Turk (an fantastic place where you literally can step off the boat into the Caribbean Sea!), Jamaica (see details below), and Nassau - I don't know why almost all cruise ships go here but it is a great day for staying on an almost empty ship.

I am pysically disabled and use a travel scooter to get around and I wish that Carnival (and all other lines) provided more assistance to disabled guests - it wasn't until day 5 that I found that the elevator in Cloud 9 spa went up to the adult area Serenity - the maps only show it going to deck 14, not deck 15.  It would also be nice if the cruise lines offered handicap-accessible cruise tours - the only line that I have found to offer such tours is Norwegian when visiting St. Maartin and St. Thomas.  I couldn't book any tours for Ochos Rios as Carnival guest services  couldn't tell me if I would be able to take my travel scooter or how much walking was actually involved so when my sister and I got off the ship, we spoke with the Jamaican tourist office who said the the local tour buses could accomdate my scooter and that we could go to the observation area of Dunn River Falls.  We boarded a tour bus ($20 each) after being assured that they would load the travel scoot only to have it suddenly pull away without doing so - they have jumpseats that fill in every aisle space and they would rather have had paying customers fill these seats than my travel scooter.  The guide kept reassuring me that the travel scooter would be on the bus behind us and not to worry - easier said than done when I couldn't move far without the scooter as my legs.  Everyone on the bus had to wait about 45 minutes for my scooter to finally be brought up to Dunn RIver Falls by taxi and then, after paying $20 each to enter the attraction, my sister and I found that the observation deck is accessible only after a series of stairs and narrow pathways - the guides were very willing to take our money all the while knowing that I would never get close enough to even see the falls.  The day was saved when my sister found a taxi driver who took us to a private resort's beach and then into town for shopping.

With the exception of the $80 mistake in Jamaica, the whole vacation was wonderful.  We have cruised almost all of the major lines and were impressed with Carnval's newest ship, the Breeze.  We are already planning another cruise on this ship!

All cruises have their charm. This one was not bad, but I expected a little bit more.  They have a problem with the organization, particulary at the time of dismebarkation.  The food in the restaurant is really good, but the same cannot be said about the buffet, which is closed after 2:00 pm (except for the pizza, sandwiches, and hamburgers, which I do not eat).  The swimming pools are too small for the amount of passengers the've got, so they are always way too crowded.  Besides that, the experience was ok.

Can't say enough...we had a wonderful time. Stops were great. Shopping was excellent as always. Our time on the ship was very relaxing. We particularly enjoyed the Latin Duo that sang and we danced a lot.

This is a beautiful Ship! Had a great time! Food was good Service/Wait staff did a great job Rooms were cleaned every day Destinations were beautiful! My personal favorites were St. Thomas and Puerto Rico While at Sea there were lots of activities planned around the ship for people to choose from. The comedy shows at night were funny. The night shows were good. For the price paid it actually went over my expectations. I will be cruising with Carnival again!

I am not at all satisfied with my Carnival Breeze vacation. The activities were little of nothing. Food on the buffett seemed to be over and over, after 10pm or so you can't get nothing. I ordered room service a simple peanut butter sandwich i NEVER got the sandwich not even a call back to say we're to lazy to fix it we are so unorganized we don't know where the peanut butter is?????? NOTHING was on 10th deck ask for a peanut butter sandwich they told me i had to order room service they didn't do such things. I had to laugh Stephen in the Blush dining room was awesome did everything he could do with what he had to do with. My stateroom cleaner was the best. As far as the food and service terrible I am in a power wheel chair therefore i require special needs?????????? Idon't have brain damage i have a spinal cord injury I booked an excursion to ride the boat that carnival web site clearly says wheel chair accessible NOT got to the boat hot wheelchair accessible. The cruise is over i start down to get in live the lady directing sends me behind a rope and says "stay right here you will be the last to exit" WHAT THE HELL i ask with a smile she walks away by this time i am livid........Does Carnival have a problem with Wheelchairs? Handicapp People? Impaired People? Finally I get Brittany's (DIRECTOR REALLY?) attention ask her for assistance she laughed says everything is moving fine??????? I told her that her worker needed some training she goes over to my aunt and says "mam what are you needing" about 75 of us are rolling laughing at her my God she is a JOKE and trying to direct a ship this is the first time my group of 11 people even saw her where has the unprofessional director been on the whole cruise??? We get to the door one of the sign and sail machines goes down WOW imagine that Brittany is called up her conclusion is (NO PROBLEM just send everybody threw the other side" well lets see now we have about 3000 people trying to switch sides. SORRY CARNIVAL this ship BREEZE needs some serious attention starting with the so called DIRECTOR she can't organize or direct a pack of dogs I am very offended and totally upset and dissatisfied with the cruise. I would have to be in a life and death situation to go on another vacation with Carnival Thank you Jason Miles Lambert

This is my 3rd Carnival Cruise and my 2nd time on the Breeze. I was on the Breeze for its Inaugural Season to the Mediterranean. I book this cruise because one of the ports of call was Grand Turk in Turks and Caicos. I got off and got married on the island. My husband and my friends and family had an amazing time of this 6 day cruise. We had 5 first time cruisers on with us and they had a wonderful time. The embarking was easy and staff was friendly and accommodating. This was a trip of a lifetime for us. My only suggestion is for the Cruise line to say something about our marriage.

What a great ship, the adult area is one of the best around. Venue on the ship was incredible. Liked how everything was easily accessible. They definitely needed a larger area for the Comedy Club - always had to wait in line to get in - then the stampede - but worth the wait. Comedians were excellent. I recommend to everyone to go on this Cruise Ship you will not be disappointed.

Great time, had good food. Enjoyed all the ports. Sugesstion don't charge for all the extra's, every cruise keeps getting extra things, and at the same time starts charging for extra's like soda, ect.

Overall had an enjoyable cruise. The biggest problem was the sewer smell in some areas and staff not being proficient in English. When you ask a question and must repeat it numerous times and still not get an answer is frustrating. The room steward and dining room staff were amazing.

The entertainment was non-existent; the shows were loud and lacked any form of entertainment quality. Even the secondary shows were poor quality-Spanish singer, which sang every night in main lobby (I guess this was the clientele' this ship was catering to); even the Piano Bar was pitifully-loud; couldn't play...just banged the keys. He did know ever song that was requested...but added a lot of profanity, obscene and objectionable material. We always book a baloney, however, with this ship I would never consider a baloney again! As smoking is allowed on all baloneys; and there was a definite fire hazard, as the cabins above & beside us we observed other passengers flipping cigarette ash as well as cigarette from their baloney...which could have easily blown back and started a fire. It should also be noted that one evening I was dressed for dinner, and went onto the baloney, and came back in covered with cigarette ashes...not a pleasant experience. Not only was this something that prevented me from enjoying my baloney; that I had paid extra for...additionally, I had cigarette butts all over my baloney every morning. I SAW NOTTHING IN THE CRUISE BROCHURE STATING THAT SMOKING WAS PREMITTED ON BALONEY! On our deck (which was deck 10); there were many young adults that ran wide open; and were very disruptive- which left us very uneasy until we finally observed Security two days prior to the end of this cruise, tackling the issue...however, the first six days no one seemed to address the problem. I did observe the profanity that was used by these young adults as they addressed the Security Force; and must say it was very disturbing. The food was pre-fab stuff lacked the usual choices; in the specialty dining room-I order lasagna- which had short rib meet & a sweet potato in it-lasagna it was not (appeared to be left over thrown in a lasagna). The buffet area was tight, not a lot of choices; long lines to get an omelet (even very early in the morning). When you come off of a cruise, and the best food compliment is that the ship had the most amazing Hamburger Bar; improvement is needed! The highlight of our cruise; and the saving grace was Serenity Level; and the wondering Bar Staff that served it - Ivan and Jana - without them I would have to say this cruise was a total waste of time.

This cruise ship was all and more than we expected. The Guy Fieri hamburger bar was terrific. My wife and I tried at least three different types and they were all very tasty. I enjoyed the water rides, however, I was hesitant to try the acrobatic walk. This was our eighth Carnival cruise and we found the food in the dining facilities to be top notch. Both our cabin steward and the dining room staff were attentive to our desires.

This cruise was booked as a celebration of my husband's 50th birthday. From start to finish Cruises Only kept us updated and knowledgeable about our trip. As this was our very first cruise, I had plenty of questions. Cruises Only was patient and answered every question and concern politely and professionally. The Carnival Breeze was an exceptional ship, very clean with top notch entertainment and FOOD. The food was delicious and the assortment plenty, we NEVER paid for a meal. Being a couple without children we were concerned about an abundance of children on board ruining our trip, but between the Kids Clubs and simply avoiding the water slides areas is was not a problem. The nightclubs and bars were not crowded but there were plenty of people around to enjoy the good time with. I definitely recommend Carnival and will sail with them on our next cruise.
