Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
All the food was very good. Disappointed we didn't get to all the different ones. Would have liked the scrambled eggs to be done better and not runny.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Went to 2 trivia games which were fun. Liked Bingo but upset about no one under 18 which was only for purchase. we would have included our 14 year old if full rules were clearer. Didn't enjoy the pools which were way too small and filled with salt water we didn't know about until in it. The hot tubs were not relaxing due to the jets being too many and way to violent. But I did like the no salt part of it. Really enjoyed the Hasbro game show and wish it could have been more then one time. Didn't like how activities overlapped. PLEASE add a pinball machine.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Such high energy and happiness in everything we watched.

Children's Programs

Our child is 14 and not comfortable in groups. She stayed with us most of the time.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We are very low key and not needy people. We like having our own space and picking up after ourselves. Angeline gave us fresh stack of towel when we asked and left us alone as requested. It was a joy running into her in the hallways everyday with a smile and a hi by name for each of us. Made our 1st cruise ever not so scary.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
kicked out of our room by 8:30am with our own luggage to rush for a place to sit till we were told we could leave which was not until 10:30 to trip over so many people with luggage waiting too.. You didn't have any problems keeping track of us one at a time for the ports we visited but had to do it by deck to leave.

Awwwww so sweet! I meet two elderly sisters on the Breeze last year. They were so precious. They said it was their first cruise & they were going down their bucket list. It took them longer to get around than most of us, but they stayed in good spirits and always smiling. It was a treat to see them taking it all in.
