All things Carnival Breeze!

[NYRsHOCKEY]

I am glad I read the thread first before posting my questions, as most of them were answered right here! Awesome.

 

One remaining question is....What is Chef's Table?

 

Also, Does anyone know if anytime dining is in both dining rooms or only 1. I really don't like aft dining room because I really feel the engines and the motion,so I would not want to be stuck there.

 

Thanks again for this great thread. Can't wait to be on the Breeze (12/2/12)

PhoneJoan! :D

Great idea dedicating a thread to the Breeze! I will be on here often before our voyage on her. I have seen quite a few pics from JH's Facebook page but cannot wait to see pics and reviews from the lucky ones on the inaugural cruise.

It was a goof idea of Carnival to get rid of Joe Farcus.

Can anyone explain what the 'cove' balconies are and what are the advantages of booking one over the regular balconies? Where are they found on the deck plans/what category? Are they large or small...sleeps how many? Are there any pics out there any place? (I realize maybe not for the Breeze but just to give me an idea)

 

It was a great idea to start this thread! Thanks for any info you can offer:)

I would love to see any pictures of the Breeze. We will be on the Breeze Dec 22.

[pe4all]

I think we will see "real" pictures from cruisers shortly, as they are still on their maiden voyage, and will hopefully post reviews and pics when they finish their vacations. Can't wait, either! (for pictures, OR our Dec. cruise!:D)

The Cove balconies are on deck 2! So you are very close to the water. Because you are so low you will feel very little of the ships motion if that is a concern for you. They are the least expensive balcony option.

 

The balconies are enclosed with a large opening to the sea. The pictures will describe it much better.

 

Most are underneath the lifeboats which will effect the amount of sunlight that reaches your balcony. But there are spaces where there are no lifeboats, maybe someone can post the cabin numbers.

 

There have been reports of limited noise in the cabins below the galley so you may want to avoid those.

 

In rough seas waves may spill onto the balconies making them unsafe. If this happens there is a door so that your cabin steward can seal off your cabin from the balcony. You will be given access to the balcony again when the seas calm.

 

JH shared these on the social site. Can't wait to see our Cove balcony!

Seargent Schulz (Zydecocruiser) has a bunch of pictures of a Cove Balcony cabin from the Dream.

Also, search Cove Balcony on You Tube and you'll find some cool videos taken from a cove balcony cabin on Magic or Dream.

I created this thread for all your questions, comments, stories, pics etc about the Carnival Breeze.

 

Btw don't you think the interior designers did a great job with the ship?

 

I have to tell you - I smile every time I see your signature - Nordic Prince was my very first cruise in 1992. I never wanted to cruise, but I won a free one so my best friend and I went, and had an amazing time! (and we thought that ship was big - LOL!!!)

I am sailing on July 21. I am beyond excited. Does anyone know how many formal nights on that sailing?

 

I believe the 8 night as well as the 6 night will have 2 formal nights.

[gobucks_43228]

Our 8 night had 2 last year.

GREAT thread! :D

 

Looking so forward to more and the first reviews that will hopefully be coming out.

From my experience this is correct.

[rtw68]

So we could start seeing reviews this weekend! That would be great! I hope you're right. :)

Thank so much for the info and pictures! I see there's a new thread about the Cove balconies also...I now have more info to help me make a decision for the Breeze!! Again, thank you:)

Even a 12 night only has two formal nights.

Way to bring me down! :p

 

I'll still be watching for them...maybe some will post from the airport?

Maybe the boredom will inspire them to write their reviews on the plane!! Write people, WRIIIIITE!!:D LOL

What about the 3D theater.

 

How often are the shows?

Are there different shows?

Is it included in the cruise price?

It is supposedly more than 3-D, as in 4-D, with movement and possibly other sensory treats:p. I'm thinking it will be similar to Disneys Philharmagic &/or Star tours, with the occasional squirt of water, smells, puffs of air and of course movement to coincide with the movie.

Carnivals website says Happy Feet 4D, Speed Racer 4D and for the holidays, Polar Express 4D.

I don't know how often the shows will be, but I am certain there will be an extra charge
