With the new sale we just switched to cabin 8336 on the Veranduh deck. How did we do? We have always had a cabin on the Riveria deck so a balcony is new to us.

1st sea day is the first one. Second sea day is the 2nd one.

Thank you!

Does anyone know what is the 2nd formal night on the 6 day breeze?

I am handicapped and do have 11201 booked so I came to cruisecritics to read about the cabin. Instead, I find people arguing about the right to reserve one of these cabins. Let me give you my two cents - who cares what you all think? This is a discussion about the cabin itself. I personally would like to read about the cabin, not about who is right or wrong...

 

Here is my two cents about booking. If a handicap person books early, they get the room. The cruiselines should not hold onto cabins in the event that a handicap person might book... The same when I go to the ladies room. 9 out 10 times I have to wait because a non-handicap is in the stall. I wait my turn. I don't think the cruiselines have to hold these rooms. If a handicap person wants to cruise, book early. I don't want any perks because of my disability, I want to be treated like everyone else.

 

Get off your high horses, and let's stay on topic. Did anyone stay in 11201 or the like? How was it, did you like it? Was there much noise? Would you book the room again? I am so looking forward to this cabin, but am cruising with some first-time cruisers and I want to know if they will be happy there, is there too much motion?

 

I don't care if you are handicap or not, but if you actually stayed in this area, please do tell.

Very good response....

The stairs were going from 9 to 10. Did I mention that having a room on Lido was the best thing ever!!! I will definitely try to get that again!! Im currently tryin to book on the Breeze for 3/10/13, who wants to be my roomie?!? - Just kidding!!

How was the motion in this room?

Which of these are better and why for 3 of us. 2 adults and 1 13 y/o

 

Thank you.

11201 is a quad. There are four of us and we are booked for this room too. If we get bumped, we get bumped. The chance we are taking for a bigger room with spa benefits.

Has anyone ever felt this way? My husband suffered a fatal heart attack 15 days ago. We already have airfare, and we were booked on the Legend. I'm just afraid I will be too lonesome, missing my husband. My kids will probably enjoy the kids club. Anyone experience a situation like this?

So sorry for your loss. Is there possibly a friend who can also come along for some support? May help to get away and relax. Sometimes life sucks. I hope you have family and friends to lean on and support you. Good luck.

Sorry - never did a "review" so don't mind me if this is all over the place.

 

This was my response to my Breeze Roll Call with a few add ins

 

Wow, I feel like I was on a different cruise than everyone else. This was my 8th cruise, and possibly the best service I've EVER had! Everyone was fun, outgoing, had a smile on their faces, they always spoke.

 

We didn't sail away until about 6ish. I LOVED sailing out of Miami at night, such a cool experience. I wish we did it more often.

 

Butch the CD was Fun, he seems to be well respected by his co-workers and I see why he is on the newer ships. He is very good at his job.

 

We did miss Grand Turk, because of high winds. Was I disappointed, definitely it's my favorite, was it gonna ruin my cruise, negative. We did have a longer time in Jamaica which is a positive or negative depends on who you ask.

 

We had decent weather during the day, but pretty high winds/rain during the night.

 

I didnt really attend the deck parties but they looked like a lot of fun.

 

I had a 4J room on the Lido, right by the secret deck door. I really liked it. Only heard the door slamming on the last night.

 

The ship itself was very beautiful. It's not over done. Very pretty art all over the place. Super clean. I like the little side hallways to get from one dining room to the other was very convenient. The Christmas decorations were pretty.

 

Maybe the issue with the service was that this was a lot of the staff's last sailing, they had all been there throughout the Inaugural season. I give them a lot of credit for what they have to do day in and day out. I can honestly say I couldn't do it. They work super hard. I feel bad that other guests service was effected, but I loved everyone.

 

My dining room staff was A M A Z I N G! Hands down the best service ever. Im sure some of my table mates might not think so, but a big part of what made my trip was Martina, Srdjan, & Jovan! Excellent service. Ken Byrne himself said out of all his waitstaff, Martina is the best! Ken can also sing his ass off! He is a nice guy, we enjoyed talking to him a lot.

 

Comedy Brunch, kind of a waste of an idea. The comedians hate it. They only do a few minute thing about going to their night shows. Its just really random. The comedy shows were okay, one was better than the other. One of was so funny to talk to and have random conversation with, but once he got on stage it was like he got nervous or something. Now with the other guy it was the opposite, no personality, but freakin hilarious!

 

Guys burgers were "SLAMMIN"! The Blue Cantina wasn't bad either, I never really had a long wait for any of that stuff either. Went to pizza once, but I don't remember if I ate it or not.

C-Side BBQ - was really good, the line was seriously long though, but it do go fast.

The Sushi place was a nice add, you get A L O T of sushi for the price. The Tempura was delicious.

 

The Cherry On Top - very cute- we had flowers delivered to our Head waiter and they were really pretty not expensive at all.

 

I did have the Cheers program. never had an issue getting a drink, never waited once. They do go slightly heavy on the syrup, but I just ask for less, and after a while they get with the program. I felt like they have upped the amount of waiters and servers they had since my last cruise. They were every where.

 

The production shows were awesome, I loved Divas. They had a really great cast this sailing. Thrill theater was a great add to the ship, I can't wait until they come out with new mini movies. The Hasbro game show was different, I loved that they included kids!

 

Piano Bar always was full and everyone was happy.

 

Spa was beautiful as always. Prompt and polite. Serenity was peaceful!

 

The Red Frog Rum Bar was a good spot to get drinks at, I liked it more than the Blue Iguana Tequila Bar.

 

The Red Frog Pub was a lot of fun. They had a great rotation of singers. Good atmosphere in there. Great food, good beer.

 

Liquid Night Club was cool, had a lot of fun there. Alex the DJ was actually a DJ, so that always makes it better. A lot of fun to hang with the crew. Kat the bartender was my go to girl.

 

Casino was beautiful, didn't win anything. The Casino bar on the other hand, I loved! It was my favorite.

 

The photographers were pretty talented, every picture we took came out beautiful.

 

I must say, from my stand point that there wasn't a lot of people in their 20's and 30's during this sailing. I'm not sure if that is why I gravitated towards the crew and vise versa. Our waitstaff had mentioned how excited they were to see young people at their table. Lots of families on board, which was nice to see during the holidays!

 

All in all, I had the greatest time. Other than a longer cruise, I couldn't have asked for more. I feel like Carnival put the best of the best on the new ships. They have some kinks to work out for the Miami sailings.

 

Am I saying everything was perfect? NO, but it wasn't enough to mess with my trip or happiness. Would I cruise the Breeze again, YES.

I really for the first time enjoyed a review. It was well written and to the point. The ridiculous things that some people complain about is mind boggeling. We go on a cruise to relax, spend time with our family and not have to worry for that period of time of what to cook for dinner, shop for food, laundry, cleaning, driving kids everywhere, etc. I always get what I pay for on Carnival. If I don't like a particular meal, I have something else. Who cares about the color of the wall paper or particular lights. Rest, enjoy whatever entertains you and have fun.

I have been quiet for the past couple of months. I have a blog about all things Ft Lauderdale that I made a promise to myself would be updated daily. Instead, I have been kind of busy with my other life outside of the States, and have neglected it. I'm back and making sure that any new updates get posted there timely. Questions...fire away.

How is the stay at the Embassy Suites? Do they have a nice pool?
