  1. We are now booked in a interior midsip but have the opportunity to change to an interior w/picture window in the very forward of the Breeze... Has anyone ever been in any of these cabins? Can you tell me, can other passengers look into your cabin? Is it strange to leave the curtains open and see people walking past? How is the front of the ship as far as motion of the ship?

     

    We have always had midship, mostly interior, but sometimes oceanview.. never the very front of a ship.. Can someone please tell me about it and if possible, post pictures would be great... The particular cabin in question is Breeze 10204. Thanks

    Here a LINK from a past cruiser review.

  2. Thanks for posting.

    Well it wasn't bad, one day I noticed someone creepin outside the window and it scared the daylights outta me, but then I remembered what kind of room I had. The traffic isnt bad. Only sometimes did we hear the door slam. I really liked the room alot. I thought it would be far from everything, but it really was convienent.
  3. Thanks XCruiseMe17,

     

    Thanks for the pics , We will be in that cabin in a few days.

     

    How was the traffic (crowd) outside the window ????

  4. Hi XCruiseMe17,

    Thanks for the review and happy to read the positive point-of-view.

    We will be sailing in a few days in a 4J on Lido, do you have any pics to share???

    Thanks. JoanK

     

    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.

  5. I also think carnival is to blame .. as you see above .. lambie got to match the rates and give up here cabin.. carnival is inconsistent, and some people get it and some dont, so I understand their frustration.

     

    carnival needs to make a rule and enforce it.. not give it to just some people.

     

    carnival is too inconsistent in enforcing their own rules.

    Carnival is not to blame. The rules are in place. The problem is "two-fold".

     

    Thw reps at Carvival (BEING HUMANS ) dont always follow the rules as they should and on the other hand, customers who DONT read, then call, MAKING LOTS OF NOISEs, get away at times with it.

     

    Carnival is not to be blamed ???????:confused:
