Breeze Review - 07/27/16

We got off the Breeze yesterday (Eastern Caribbean itinerary) and I wanted to share some thoughts that might be helpful to others. We had a great time overall. However, there were some things that were lacking. We are not frequent cruisers but we have been on a Carnival cruise before; it was my husband, our eight-year-old-daughter, and me.

First, the good/great stuff. We had FTTF and I thought it was well-worth the cost, especially when our daughter promptly lost her Sign and Sail card on the first day at sea. FTTF saved us hours of waiting in line at Guest Services for a new card. Embarkation and debarkation were very easy.

We packed a LOT but I think we used everything we packed and there wasn't anything I would omit on our next cruise. We took a small desktop fan which helped immensely. We carried two 12 packs of Pepsi and 2 bottles of wine onboard and it was perfect; just enough for us. We decorated our door with Nemo and Dory door clings that I got from Amazon and it was easy and cute. The way that we carried on our beverages was in an old suitcase, and then after we unloaded our drinks we had an empty suitcase for souvenirs, dirty clothes, etc. That was very handy. We also were glad we'd brought plastic clothes pins, aloe vera gel for sunburn, baby powder for sand/rashes, and our own shampoo, conditioner, and body wash (the ship provides shampoo but not conditioner, and body wash but none of it is very good quality). We brought a four prong extension cord and did have an over-the-door organizer, which we hung on the inside of one of the closet doors. Worked great.

We used the chat feature on the Carnival app to keep in touch and it was very handy. It did go down often, especially toward the end of the cruise, which was annoying, but I do recommend it. And I loved the ability to check show times or food options on the app on my phone. So much easier than lugging around a highlighted copy of the Fun Times.

Our balcony cabin was on the Lido deck mid, #10270. Location was perfect, close to everything and an easy elevator ride down to dining and events. We loved having a balcony. There was a lot of motion during our cruise but I understand that that's because there's a lot of distance covered with that itinerary in a short time, so we were going at a higher speed than our previous cruises.

The additional food options were great. We loved Guy's burgers and the Southwestern/Mexican restaurant, our daughter loved Pizza Pirate, and we dined at Farenheit 555 one night and all loved it (with one hiccup which I'll mention below). We loved sea day brunches in the MDR. I did not notice this until another guest mentioned it, but there is tea served at 3 pm on sea days. That was a nice experience for my daughter and me. My favorite was the captain's pasta bar in Cucina Capitano for lunch. At dinnertime it's a fee restaurant, but at lunchtime they have pasta and lasagne with caesar salad and it's free. You should also check out the Tasting Bar everyday; they had samplings of fare from some of the fee restaurants, and you could get actual meals there sometimes. I never quite figured out their rotation schedule; I just know that I noticed several times that they had breakfast and lunch options. We did not eat at Bonsai Sushi.

The shows were really good. We saw one PG comedy show (Kelly something) and he was pretty funny. We enjoyed the Motown show. The 88 Keys show was a bit cheesy but enjoyable. We got a kick out of the towel animal demo and show. The new show, Flick, was really amazing. Highly recommend it. They are still working out some kinks and bugs, and the performers haven't quite hit their groove yet, but that's understandable as it was only the third cruise for this particular show. We did not catch the Country show (none of us like C&W music) and I think there was one more that we didn't make. Music all over the ship was great, especially the Latin band that played in the atrium often.

My husband played in a soccer tournament and a dodgeball tournament and that was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed playing putt-putt golf, too. We are not late night people but my husband did go to the nightclub for a drink one night and he said it was great people-watching. We tried to do a dive-in movie but there were not enough deck chairs for us all to sit together so we scrapped that.

We tried to get our daughter to do some activities with Camp Ocean, just because we thought she'd enjoy being with other kids (she' an only child, obviously) but she just wasn't into it. However, a big kudos to the ladies at Camp Ocean who stopped what they were doing to show her around and try to make her feel more comfortable about it. They were great.

Now for some of the more critical points. We booked all of our excursions through Carnival. We did a trolley tour in Key West, a Jeep tour in Freeport, and a day at Blue Lagoon Island with the sea lion encounter at Nassau. Key West was fine; it was Old Town Trolley and we got off the ship very quickly so we were one of the first on the trolley. Other people from the ship had to wait in line for a very long time so I would highly recommend getting off the ship as quickly as you can and if you are not among the first for a trolley, just walk around by yourself in the area around the pier until the crowd dies down, then hop on a later trolley.

The people with the Jeep tour were lovely, but Freeport is just not a great port and the stop at Junkanoo Beach was a waste for us. It was packed so the water was really warm and cloudy (we wanted to snorkel), and the wake/noise from the jet ski rentals was really annoying. Since we got there a little later in the day, all of the umbrellas were gone. We had stopped at another beach (not a resort) that was nearly empty earlier in the Jeep tour and that would have been so much nicer to stay at than Junkanoo.

Nassau is lovely and we enjoyed the ferry to Blue Lagoon Island. The sea lion encounter was overpriced, but I knew that going in; if my eight-year-old had not been interested, we'd have never done that. There was another cruise ship that was late getting into port, so even though our encounter was scheduled to start at 10:30 am, they made us wait almost an hour for the passengers from that ship to arrive. The next encounter was 11:30 am so I don't know why they didn't go ahead with ours and try to fit the other passengers into the 11:30 am (there were only four people from the other ship when they finally arrived). I think they really just wanted to condense us from 2 encounters into one.

The lagoon is very shallow and has no waves, which is great for kids. Our daughter loved swimming and looking for shells. My husband checked out the snorkel area but said it had a few small fish, nothing worthwhile. We were told on the way over that there would be tenders back to the port at 1, 2, and 4 pm, but later in the day there was an announcement that the 2 pm tender would be the last for Breeze passengers so we had to cut our day short, and we didn't have time to buy the photos from our encounter as the line for the tender was much too long. All in all, it's a nice resort, but we felt cheated on our time there and we never got any photos of our encounter which was over $300 for the three of us.

One thing we did not like about the ship was the pools. They are much too small for the number of people that use them, and they are always packed and super warm. The middle pool deck area is very hot; no breezes come through due to the design of the ship. We tried the slides but they weren't really our thing; I felt really claustrophobic, and kids were cutting in line. I think Carnival relies on that Waterworks area to divert people away from the pools but there's really not that much to do aside from the slides. We do have a pool at home and enjoying swimming but there's no way to really swim at all on the ship.

We also felt that the food in the MDR had declined since our last cruise in 2006. The elegant nights were not very good, at all. There definitely seems to be a shift toward the other food options. The dessert options were not great; we ended up having melting chocolate cake most of the time. We always found something to eat, of course, but we were disappointed. Appetizers were more reliable than the entrees. Farenheit 555 was really good with excellent service but my NY strip was not a good cut of meat and it was cooked medium, not medium rare as requested. I enjoyed everything else so much that I didn't mention it, but our waiter noticed that I didn't eat it and probed me for feedback so I did let him know what I felt was wrong with it. Overall, the Farenheit 555 experience was worth the extra $$ to me, even with that one blip.

I also wish they had timed the comedy shows better to be able to see a comedy show AND a show. the PG-rated comedy shows were all at times that conflicted with the first musical or "big" show of the night. We could have stayed up for the second, later show, of course, but that's a little late for our daughter. She really enjoyed the comedy show we got to see. A slight change of a half hour in either direction would have been great.

Service was hit-or-miss. When it was good, it was great; when it wasn't good, it wasn't terrible necessarily, but there were definitely some not good parts. It just seemed like a lot of the staff were DONE and ready for it to be over. I heard several mentions of contracts and end of contracts so perhaps they were coming to the end of their contract. They just seemed burned out. Mostly it seemed to come in the main dining room (we had YTD and ate in Sapphire, but had breakfast in the Blush dining room several mornings). We had some really long waits to order, and for food to arrive. Dinner routinely took 1.5 to two hours. And I had an incident in which a woman at Guest Services snapped at me because I asked if I was in the right place, because she was preparing to help someone who was walking up to the desk. It was a very simple question and I wasn't trying to cut the line; I just wanted to be sure I was using the right resource before I waited. Again, I think they're probably overworked and burned out. There were other situations like that, although less dramatic (she was EXTREMELY rude).

There were also things that were supposed to be open but were not. For example, one reason we chose the location we did was because of its proximity to the laundry on the 10th deck. It's supposed to be a 24 hour laundry. We always do laundry midway through our trip to cut down on the clothing we have to bring. However, that laundry was always locked with an "out of order" sign, and the laundry on the 7th deck was only open during certain hours and of course it was always packed. We ended up using the ship's laundry service instead. My husband did complain about the lack of facilities to Guest Services and they comped our laundry bill, which was very much appreciated, but we really weren't looking to get something for free. We just wanted to do our laundry. There were other situations like that, like Pizza Pirate is supposed to be 24/7 but no one was ever there in the morning or responded to the bell, and the breakfast buffet seemed to open at odd times other than what was showing in the app. Just random things like that.

This might just be a personal thing, but I got so tired of being hit up for photos from the ship photographers. They are EVERYWHERE. ALL THE TIME. We bought one picture, a photo of our daughter with the cast from Flick, and I thought it was worth the price. It's a great souvenir. I know people like the photos but the pressure was just constant.

Overall, we loved our trip and will cruise with Carnival again, just a different itinerary (we'd done Jamaica, Cayman, and Cozumel on our honeymoon in 2006 so we wanted to do something different this time). But we will have some lowered expectations on food and service next time.

I have to hand it to the cruise ship staff; they work so freaking hard, and their jobs have to be challenging. It just seems like Carnival has cut back in many areas and I'm sure that's affected the employees so much, and it's trickling down to passengers through a lessened experience. Still a great way to travel, and highly recommended!

Thank you for the review. We are sailing on Aug. 7th and will be staying on the Lido deck as well, so it is good to know that the laundry may be out.. we'll pack accordingly. That is also a great idea with the suitcase for the sodas. You mentioned bringing the fan along. Was the A/C not working up to snuff? Also, we too have YTD, was the long wait you described associated with getting seated or for them to bring your food to you? Thank you again for the review.

Great review! I enjoyed reading. Very fair :D

Hi, Black Magic! Yes, we found the room to be a little stuffy. We like it cold at night and there isn't much variance to adjust your thermostat in the cabin, so the fan really helped keep it cooler and just felt fresher. The A/C worked, but especially for sleeping, it was just not cool enough with the A/C alone for us.

The wait to get seated can be long. What we did every night was one of us would go down to the dining room at around 5:20 pm (it opens at 5:45 pm) and get in line. The hostess comes around about 10-15 minutes before the MDR opens to get your name and the number in your party. As long as we were in line early enough to give our name to the hostess, we were seated right away as soon as the MDR opened. Then there were long waits for the food, mostly. A few times it was a long wait just to order. They serve bread fairly quickly so we had something to munch on while we waited, but be prepared to wait.

One night we went down later, around 8:15 pm or so, and we were seated right away, but the food was awful. I don't know if it was because the food had been sitting around or if it was just bad in general that particular night, but from then on, we always went early.

Hope that helps!! Enjoy your cruise and let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks for doing a review on your Breeze cruise.

This is interesting. Now I'm wondering how cruise ship contracts work. Do they get a big group that starts and ends at the same time, or do they all start and end at different times? How long are their contracts for?

We were on the same cruise! It was our first on Breeze but 19th Carnival cruise. I have definitely seen a decline over the 11+ years. I agree completely with the dining room menu. Desserts were strange. It was ok because I was usually too full anyway. I love soup so could have had that every night. One night the starters were all seafood based except the mushroom soup and I don't like mushrooms or seafood so I ordered kids mac and cheese. The grilled chicken breast seemed to be a "formed" breast that was pre-grilled. Yuk! We spent a lot of time playing trivia but did see the Country show. It was really good but they hung a huge Texas flag against the back curtain and it was hung backwards (red stripe at the top). Yes us Texans are serious about our flag...lol. I saw the same things with the staff. One time I was getting a salad in the Ocean Plaza on a sea day (its salad and soup) and the guy fixing my salad was texting the whole time so I had to keep repeating my order. Also in Lido buffet I was getting something sweet and 2 workers were arguing back and forth in front of me. Also at night 2 in the dining room our head waiter informed us the 3rd team member just resigned. Our cabin was freezing most of the time (deck 8 aft balcony). I will say that the bedding is down and that is not appropriate for hot summers. I didn't mean to hijack your review, just wanted to agree with you. :)

Very good review!

Fair and simple, with no whining and complaining. Can't wait to board!!!

Excellent review!

Thanks for your review. Our first Breeze cruise is in 20 days. Our last three were on the Magic. We echo your feelings on the decline in quality and selection in the MDR. The menu was often disappointing and more than one night I had two or more appetizers and no entree.

Even so we're pretty excited about sailing on the Breeze next month and your review added to our anticipation.

Thank you ,I thought I was the only one that had a semi bad review. we had FTTF I loved it, Except we didn't get our bags til late afternoon.However the front desk was wonderful, we had a private phone # to reach them.

We have 4 kiddos under 18, they loved to cruise. But I think I'll have to twist their arm to go again. This is bad when your kids beg not to go back to the MDR. Didn't like the food and felt there was no attention. Back in the day the the waiters would play little games, etc. Now I don't think they new our name. Ok _ I'll stop didn't mean to take over your review : )

Thanks for taking the time to do your review. We're excited about boarding in 62 days.

Just curious, was this the cruise that had someone airlifted by the US Coast Guard on Monday? We've witnessed this on two separate cruises.

Yes, that happened on our ship, very early in the cruise. We diverted toward Tampa but didn't dock there. The medical evacuation took place while at sea (that might be how they always do it; I've never experienced anything like that before.) We arrived in Key West a little late because of it. I've since read that the passenger is in stable condition, which is great news as that's all that really matters, of course.

Tell me did you hear about a passenger found deceased in their cabin? Also a child falling on deck 12? Apparently this was the talk on several occasions. I never heard any announcements for an emergency.

Thanks for the review.

I enjoyed your review.

Keith

I was on this cruise as well. Didnt hear of a deceased in cabin or child fall. They did have an ambulance waiting in Key West that went off with lights ablaze once loaded. Not sure for what reason.

Agree with the pools. This cruise had roughly 4500 guests, 1500 of which were children. It was packed.

No! I didn't hear any of that. Kind of glad I didn't know during the cruise. That's quite scary.

The child falling from the deck happened on the Liberty in mid-June. The accident happened shortly after the ship left Galveston. They ended up returning to port to take the child to the hospital.

Nice review. I liked the Breeze as a whole but agree about the food being "meh".

I'm just going into my next cruise with lower standards and that's just sad :(

Great review and thank you for taking time out of your day to write one for us all. Going to be on the Breeze for the first time in 58 days.

The shows were really good. We saw one PG comedy show (Kelly something) and he was pretty funny. We enjoyed the Motown show. The 88 Keys show was a bit cheesy but enjoyable. We got a kick out of the towel animal demo and show. The new show, Flick, was really amazing. Highly recommend it. They are still working out some kinks and bugs, and the performers haven't quite hit their groove yet, but that's understandable as it was only the third cruise for this particular show. We did not catch the Country show (none of us like C&W music) and I think there was one more that we didn't make. Music all over the ship was great, especially the Latin band that played in the atrium often.

 

Thanks for the great review. We'll be on the Breeze in 3 weeks so this is really helpful. I had gotten copies of Fun Times from late May/early June and thought I had all of our entertainment planned out. But it looks like some of the shows have now changed. The shows that I had listed were Motor City, 88 Keys, Divas and Latin Nights. It seems as if Motor City and 88 Keys are still there. Were either Divas or Latin Nights still there or were they replaced by Flick and the County show? Was there still a night with the magician and another night with just Love & Marriage? TIA :cool:
