DECK 12 SPORTS AND WORKOUT AREA.

 

They had a cool little workout area outside on the back of the ship. Sakari had a lot of fun with it. I have to say, some of the things they had there were "different" and I had never seen any equipment like that before. But still neat. Sakari went up there several times during the cruise to "work off her lunch" with some friends.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is where I would take my frustrations out on my Jade room steward from the month before. Just saying....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This machine was pretty neat. You sat in the chair and pushed up on the bars and you lifted yourself up...so basically you are using yourself as the weights and lifting your own weight. It would push you and your chair up in the air as you lifted.

 

 

 

 

 

[mitsugirly]

This machine also utilized your body as the weight and lifted you up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was Sakari's favorite and she would run forever on it.

 

 

 

 

Getting better at lifting her own weight

Basketball court (it was right beside the gym)

 

Does anyone else see the ball stuck up at the top of the net or am I seeing things?

There were several areas to play chess in.

 

The equipment wasn't in very good shape.

 

 

 

 

[mitsugirly]

In the middle below the ropes course was a very cool area that you could play corn hole, ping pong, pool and get drinks and such. It was very colorful and I loved this cute little area. I don't have many pictures here, but you will see more on it later with pics. They are mixed in somewhere with my "daily" pictures of what we did.

 

 

 

 

They also had a hot dog stand up here which was cool but only open during certain hours.

 

[mitsugirly]

Water Park.

 

I didn't get a lot of pictures of the waterpark outside of the time frame we were actually there. So you will see most of those during the review when we were there. It was SO COOL!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Loved the cute little colorful chairs they had around the ship. Believe it or not, they are quite comfortable.

Yes, it's been a long course for sure. I'm so glad it's coming to an end and I completed my paper tonight. I'm working toward another Nursing degree (Bachelors).

 

Nice! Congrats for making the decision to further your degree. I didn't think there was much difference between the A.A. and the BSN until I finally decided to further my degree (21 yrs after getting my Associate's). As you've seen there is a huge difference. I immediately went on to get my Master's; also well worth it. I wish you the best! :)

DECK 13

 

SERENITY

 

I'm sorry folks, we never spend any time in here and was only back here once for a little bit during the evening and that's when I got pictures. So, only night time pictures and they're not very good. But you get the idea.

Cloud 9 Spa.

 

We are not spa people. I will probably never utilize this area on any ship, but I usually try to get pictures. I didn't even find it until the middle of the cruise, so no pictures from inside and only the outside.

 

 

 

 

When you are outside in the Serenity area, there's a glass dome and when you look down into it, there's a pool to the spa area.

 

 

 

 

This staircase went down to the spa/pool area I believe

 

 

 

 

 

I guess if they think you like to hang out in the serenity area, they will entice you to come to the spa by giving you previous of the areas inside from the outside. LOL

DECK 10

 

BEACH POOL AREA

 

I loved these little cabana's they had by the pool area on each side. Parents could sit there and watch the kids and still be in the shade and have water on their feet.

 

 

 

 

 

I love this too. What a great idea!

[Bluemoon319]

TIDES POOL in the aft

 

 

 

I love the bench seats around the pool, not quite the same as the cabana type at the mid pool, but still very nice.

[Bluemoon319]

One floor up and overlooking the pool in the back were some really comfy chairs to hang out in.

 

One side was smoking and the other side was not. I have to say that people are very rude and inconsiderate. They would come to the smoking area and lay down and take a nap there. Like seriously? I know the chairs are comfortable but smoking chairs are limited and if you need to take a nap, find another place!

 

 

 

I think I would have been tempted to stand right next to those napping people & be as loud as I could, LOL

DECK 11

 

KIDS CLUB-CAMP OCEAN

 

 

I Sakari's age group, there were plenty of computers to play games on.

 

 

Now I will admit that Sakari sometimes plays games on my computer...but not often. However, she is more of a craft person and loves making things and drawing of course. They sure don't seem to do much of that in this age group (even on NCL) and I think this has started to become an issue with her. She would rather just sit around and draw while she's in there instead of playing a game on the computer. They did have other activities for them to do and theme nights of course. But just wanted to put this out there that this age group is just not working out too well for her on the ships.

 

 

That's sad to read. It wasn't like that when my son was young enough to be in Camp Carnival. They did have computers, but not nearly anything like these pics are showing. A sign of the times I guess :( (sigh). I hope they do a better job when Sakari gets into the next age group.

[NightOne]

I just found this review and just got caught up on all 10 pages :)

We were on Breeze in 2013...beautiful, fun ship. We never even made it to those lower decks, lol. I loved the Red Frog Rum PUB and the ropes course. And of course, the Water Works!

 

I remember reading your reviews of Little French Key and some other place that was an all inclusive water park? Do you remember which port that may be?

 

I can't wait until your port pictures!

 

Was it the Ron Jon water park near Port Canaveral (her Carnival Dream cruise) you were thinking about?

You would LOVE Cabana's (the buffet) on the Disney ships. They are beachy too. This is from the Dream

The Breeze looks beautiful. I heard Guys is really good. i must get on Carnival just for that eventually

FAHRENHEIT STEAKHOUSE:

 

Thanks for your review. Did you notice, are there tables for two at the steakhouse not so close together? I would be very upset if I paid for the steakhouse experience and was placed right next to someone else.

One side was smoking and the other side was not. I have to say that people are very rude and inconsiderate. They would come to the smoking area and lay down and take a nap there. Like seriously? I know the chairs are comfortable but smoking chairs are limited and if you need to take a nap, find another place!

 

 

I agree with you! Not to start a smoking controversy but it's even worse when those "nappers" look at the smokers like they're bothering THEM by smoking....on the smoking side! Can't we all just respect each other and keep to our own side and co-exist in harmony at the same time???:confused: I'm sure there are smokers out there that would like to blow a little extra smoke their way just to annoy them back!:;)

[Luv06012012]

Kim, I love everything about your reviews! Love the pics, love the insight, love your sense of humor. You have me cracking up sometimes. Happy birthday to Sakari...they grow up so darn fast!

 

I've been on NCL once and RCCL all the other times. This has me really wanting to try out the Breeze!!!

[WahooFan]

Enjoying your review. We leave in 13 days[emoji847]

Thanks for the update, Kim. I am enjoying the ship tour a lot! Looks like there are a lot of comfortable places to hang out around the pools.

We'll be on her with you...just us girls! Can't wait!

TIDES POOL in the aft

 

 

 

Also, someone commented on the first day that the pool was already shut down because some child pooped in the pool and it had to be cleaned.

 

 

 

 

I do know that we would also see it shut down two other times during the cruise and it being cleaned. Really? Are there that many people allowing their children in the pool (I would guess) with diapers? That's usually the scenario when this happens. Children that are not potty trained are not allowed in the pools...plain and simple. It's a health hazard, but people always break the rules.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I worked for the YMCA for six years - I could provide you with some real disgusting horror stories on this subject. People just amaze me sometimes.

What do you mean you could ask for the burgers on the Dream? They do not have Guys burgers on the Dream. They have their normal burgers with the usual toppings and some stuff you can add that is on the serving line.
