I cruised the Breeze 12/16/12-12/22/12 with my boyfriend. We're both 25-year-old professionals. I've cruised on the Carnival Valor in 2010 and the Carnival Triumph in 2009. We chose this ship because of our positive experience with Carnival in the past and the excitement of a new ship.
Let me preface this review with the fact that my boyfriend and I enjoyed ourselves on this cruise despite some disappointments. I love cruising, being on the open water, waking up in a different country each day, and not being responsible for doing my own dishes or making my own bed. I know what follows may sound very negative, but I wanted to be specific and give others the opportunity to get some details about my personal experience to help paint a picture of what cruising this ship may entail. You are all entitled to your own opinions and to disagree with me if you should so choose.
Embarkation: This went surprisingly smoothly. I arrived as Carnival requested around 1 pm and waited in a very short line to get my sail and sign card and quickly boarded the ship. Our room was ready as soon as we boarded. Our luggage arrived around 6:30 pm that night. My only complaint was the electronic signs pointing us to parking for the Breeze were incorrect and we had to make several circles at the port in order to get to the nearest open parking garage -- but not a big deal.
