Breeze is the Best of Carnival

I expect next to see an upgraded tv package offered per cabin ,, want more tv ,,more $$$ for Carnival ,, after 12 cruises ,we are now looking at different vacation options ..maybe a travel trailer ..week or 2 in Key West

I am only guessing at ths. But, I would imagine that if the general boarding area is not very busy, they would allow you to enter. But, if busy, then you would have to wait until the appointed time. It is a control measure and probably flexible. But, I would not depend on it. Rules are rules and things goes much more smoothly when everyone complies. I purchase FTTF whenever I can and avoid all of that. To me it is well worth it.

Not true , they are very strict on the check in times , Galveston ,you will be check by several agents before you even enter the terminal ,,, and they will refuse to let you in until your printed check in time

Depends on what debarkation number they give you The night before

The Breeze is the best of Carnival , no other ship compares to it

Remember to ,there is no insulation in the walls between cabins , If the baby cries , You are bothering people on either side of your cabin and across the hall .. We had a spa cabin ,people next door had a baby that cried almost non -stop day and night , Day 2 ,I had ,had enough , went to the service desk ,They sent security up ,to talk to the couple ..Baby was cutting teeth .. So your decision affects others ,who also paid for their vacation

We tried Princess 1 time .. to much dress up , and the ship was dead 9-10 PM , I walked the ship taking pictures 1 night dozens of pictures ,not a soul in 1 of them ... It's a funeral home after 10 PM

Interesting. Mine is all metal exactly like a Yeti. Only plastic part is the lid. Of course I’m thankful for all Cruise gifts! Happy sailing!

We got the same on The 12/3/17 sailing on The Breeze

New to Cozumel Best we have done in 11 cruises https://www.facebook.com/trikes.cozumel/

We booked the Dream for a third time because we love the tandoor grill only to learn that is about to be removed from service. That said we also were excited to try the new pig and anchor barbecue Because we are from the south and love barbecue and we are Guy fans. We waited in a long line for about 20 minutes to get our barbecue and I could tell when I saw the beef brisket that something was wrong. It was a dense and hard and had no smoke ring. Then they piled the greens on my plate and they were covered with a slimy yellow grease and had no vinegar smell. I reach for the Carolina barbecue sauce for my pulled pork in it was the right color but again had no smell of vinegar in was a bit sweet tasting nothing like anything in any of the Carolinas. I tried to eat the greens I took two or three bites forcing myself to eat this slimy crap with no vinegar. I have no idea what that was but they were not greens this southern boy knows better. I took one bite of the brisket and spit it out. Anyone that knows me knows that I love beef brisket and I know what it is and whatever this crap was it had no business being on the menu and I’m sure guy would be hugely embarrassed if he tasted it. The chicken was just OK not enough smoke as was the pulled pork. But again Carolina style pulled pork is all about the vinegar-based sauce and there was none to be found on the ship. Is I threw most of my food away I heard other people complaining that the food was not worth the wait and there was much disappointment all around me. At the dinner table The only ones who had anything nice to say about the barbecue were the people from Michigan and being that they don’t have a strong barbecue tradition up there I will give them a pass for not knowing better. The sad thing was the dream heels out of Louisiana and poles from all the deep southern states and everyone on that ship nurse for barbecue were supposed to be in the aint this crap unfortunately

I agree we are from Arkansas , and was on The Breeze last week .. Only thing that resembled BBQ , was the chicken legs ..they were ok ... If you are from the south and know real Q This ain't it Also Had the baked BBQ beans ..Who puts NAVY beans in BBQ beans ???? They are in there

What is the time for open & close into the spa area?

Do you you use your S&S card to get in the spa area?

Hours are 8AM -10PM , When you go into the spa area ,They have a desk there , You give them your Sail Sign card , They verify you are in a spa cabin or you have paid to use the spa , They will then keep your SS card and give you a white card which will open the different doors in the spa area

Been on both ,,, Breeze is the best of Carnival

So what if we get there AFTER our time slot (i.e. Have a 1030 slot and get there at 1230), do we get in line with the other 1230 people or..... What?

Yes you get in line ,with the others waiting ,,

They want you out of your cabin by 8:30

Their will be wheel chairs and people at the port who will push them up the ramp ,when it is their time to board .. They now board handicapped in the zone they are assigned to .

Don't think you could use it on the lido deck , People will be right next to you on both sides , They show music video's on the big screen ,You'd be blocking the view of people behind you .. You could go to deck 11 or 12 and sit against the side of the ship and use it though

I need some help from cruisers who have been to Cozumel with infant/toddlers. I have a friend and his wife traveling to Cozumel with us next week and we are planning an excursion to Mr. Sancho's Beach Club. Has anyone had any experience traveling with an infant/toddler in Cozumel? Did you bring a car seat on board ship with you? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Not much need for a car seat ,most bus's ,taxi's you find in Mexico ,and in the islands , won't have seat belts anyway

Muster was slow and agonizing for us despite the new technology. We were standing out in the heat for what seemed like forever while late people were showing up, and they were allowed to show late. My disabled husband almost passed out and had to be escorted inside. I have osteoarthritis and heat sensitivity so it felt like torture. I wish they would do it indoors with ac and seating. Until that happens, we will be anticipating the muster drill with extreme dread when we sail Carnival.

Dream , Magic and Breeze you sit inside in the theater , dining rooms , and clubs ..in the A/C

Never seen any on board

I put my phone in the safe and turn off all my troubles, because they will be waiting for me AFTER the cruise

:eek::cool::eek:

Same here good to be without phone for a whole week

yes

Good review , We to are from Little Rock , We leave for our 3rd time on the Breeze in Dec , This will be our tenth cruise ,and we turn platinum on this cruise ! The Breeze is the best ship Carnival has

11th floor is better ,shaded balcony ,12thfloor balcony ,people in public areas above can look down into your balcony area , also rain will fall on your balcony on 12 ... Room temps are fine

We are back on the ship 1 to 1.5 hours before departure time , You do not want to be a pier runner ... Yes they will leave without you ..They do 2 shows a night , Early diners see the late show , Late diners will see the early show
