Review summary

So good to be back cruising! We are on the Breeze in January and I can’t wait!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was OK, took about 25 minutes to get through the COVID testing verification, not too bad. Entered the terminal at 1130 and we were eating Guy’s Pig and Anchor BBQ a little after 12 noon. We got on board and did the Muster Station drill right away since our station was right off the lobby.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main Dining, lido buffet, both Guy’s restaurants, Pizza, steakhouse - everything was good. Never more than 5 deep in the omelette line, and bacon was abundant every day except the last sea day though.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Entertainment was good. It was nice to see the performers genuinely glad to be back on stage! Juggling comedian was a good show, the Wild West trick roping Buffalo Bill guy was just …. Unexpected.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Best servers on the ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Nice to have the two showering areas in these deluxe ocean view rooms. Bring a power strip, not many plugs if you have a lot of devices.

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
Did a bike ride, tour guide did not have much personality. It was sunny for the bike ride but cloudy and windy at the beach and the water was really cold. Ship provided lunch, not too shabby!

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Nice place! Did the charm and grace of Nassau tour. I recommend it.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
Not much going on here, Garden of the Groves was nice.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy. We waited in our Deck 1 stateroom until called, and walked right off the ship, and right through the facial recognition passport kiosks. Easy.
