Chris' & Ginny's Breeze Review w/ Large Pictures

[sonicbuffalo]

A very busy Mongolian Wok station...always very crowded...

 

 

I settled for a Blue Iguana Cantina burrito...and had several more during the cruise...my favorite was the shrimp and chicken burritos....yummmm

 

 

 

 

 

Despite what I have read in the reviews....I never had a problem with over crowding at Guy's Burger's topping bar...

 

[sonicbuffalo]

The Blue Iguana Tequilla Bar

 

 

Another of the 2.0 upgrades, the Red Frog Pub outside on the pool deck...

 

 

The door to the Lido Marketplace from the pool deck...

 

 

A beautiful fixture leading to the Italian Restaurant

 

 

Ginny is checking sail & sign cards at the door of the Italian Restaurant

 

[sonicbuffalo]

Our stateroom door

 

 

The sign outside the Limelight Lounge or Punchliner's Comedy Club telling you who is going to be performing that night....we saw Al Ernst...and he was good, but if you want to see all the shows, plan on getting there and standing in line for a good 45 minutes as the line forms and they make you wait in the corridor

 

 

 

The pay Steakhouse entrance...and a picture of the inside...weren't that impressed with interior decor to be honest

 

 

[sonicbuffalo]

Inside the Limelight Lounge...nice atmosphere....

 

 

Although I never had my camera when Ron Pass was playing, we watched him perform several times and he was fantastic....really enjoyed his performances.

 

 

The rear of the Piano Bar...loved the decor here...brilliant

 

 

One of my main complaints on the Breeze...the elevators were almost always packed. I would suggest you do as we did...if we were only going up one floor, walk. If your were going down, walk all the way down...unless you were getting off the ship. we walked almost EVERY trip up and down since the wait for elevators was so long.

walking into Liquid....

 

 

 

Red Frog Pub were the southern guitar player performed each night...we listened to him...don't recall his name but he was pretty good...

Notice the light fixtures up on the ceiling...pretty cool....

 

 

Some shots of the stores up above the Atrium

 

 

Christmas Decorations...

 

 

[sonicbuffalo]

 

 

 

The Ovation Theater where the Playlist Production and Hasbro shows were performed...pretty plain jane decor...no wow factor!

 

 

What? No lines at the theater? A first!

 

[gambee]

So lines are really that bad on the elevators?

 

 

On the Allure we did not experience lines, however we did experience long waits for elevators to stop.

[sonicbuffalo]

comfort food!

 

 

 

 

The decor from the 5th deck...

 

 

Happy Holidays!

 

[sonicbuffalo]

standing in the middle of the atrium looking up to the skylight...

 

 

The Sapphire restaurant, which was used for any time dining...you don't want to be there though or you'll miss hearing Ken Byrne sing in the Blush.

 

 

 

 

learning to dance for the deck party later that night...

 

[sonicbuffalo]

The 4th deck and our nearly complete tour of the ship is just about over...

Enjoying your review. Just booked the Breeze last week. Looking forward to the rest.

[sonicbuffalo]

The Clubs for the kids and teens

 

 

 

The arcade....tricky to find on the 4th deck....

 

 

 

 

[sonicbuffalo]

The Blush at dinner....

 

 

The great Ken Byrne, the singing Maitre D...who was awesome...he sang 4 or 5 songs each night and is in great voice...

 

 

 

Our assistant waitress...she was very good the entire cruise....and then she was dancing in the next picture...

 

 

[sonicbuffalo]

On the lower level, the waitresses and waiters got up on the tables and danced for us...they loved doing this it seems...

Great pictures and review. Looking forward to more, thanks for sharing! We're on the Breeze May 25. :)

[cruzkitty]

Great Job!! Loved your pictures-thanks!!

[sonicbuffalo]

Turn down service....loved it...

 

 

 

we found the rainbow, and it landed in St. Thomas....

 

 

 

We had a Catamaran Sail & Snorkel scheduled for early this morning and that followed by shopping in downtown...busy day and we were supposed to meet at 8, which meant we had to eat breakfast at 7am.

 

[sonicbuffalo]

 

 

 

 

[sonicbuffalo]

 

 

I'm sorry....we had Megan's Bay swimming and then shopping in downtown. ..getting my days confused. The catamaran was for Antigua. In this shot, we are headed over the mountain to Megan's Bay, once rated among the world's top 10 beaches. I guess it still is, it was very nice and shady there...

 

 

 

This is Magen's Bay, from above on the mountain...

 

 

[sonicbuffalo]

 

 

 

That white house located on the bank to the far right was where President Clinton stayed during a visit to St. Thomas when he was President, according to our guide here the last time we visited.

 

 

It was early in the morning and the water was chilly when you first got in...

 

[jimbug]

I love the pictures, even if it is the 3rd time 'round for you. Thank you for having the patience to post them for us once more!

[sonicbuffalo]

 

 

 

Wait until Ginny sees what I am going to buy her for Christmas...I didn't even know it yet at this point....but we liked what we saw...coming up...

 

 

[sonicbuffalo]

So lines are really that bad on the elevators?

 

 

On the Allure we did not experience lines, however we did experience long waits for elevators to stop.

 

Yes....the lines were usually very long...of course we were by the aft elevators. Not sure what they were like forward or midships. Of course the Atrium had a second bank of elevators so I imagine it might have been easier there. You've also got to remember that the aft elevators were where people would go to eat dinner which was aft in the Blush and also anyone going to deck 5 to the Punchliner's Comedy Club, or to walk all the way forward to the Ovation Theater. I guess it was just a heavy traffic elevator bank. :confused:
