I read cruise critic pretty much every night before I left. I grew more and more worried with each passing review that we had made a huge mistake. The reviews were not right and I had made the best decision of my life!! I loved the Breeze and I loved cruising in general for that matter. We flew into Miami a day early and enjoyed a relaxing evening on Ocean Ave. We stayed at the Fashion Haus hotel on a whim. We got a really good deal on Price Line. An $800 a night room for $200. It was comical, all glitz and really no function, but it was right on the strip and a good story for us. They were very helpful. We ate at at The Big Pink on Saturday morning and loved it, really a must try. The food was fabulous and the place was buzzing with conversation and action. We took a cab to the cruise terminal and arrived at Noon. We blew through the line and were on board the ship by 12:30. The trick is having all your paperwork and passports together and ready, so many people slowed things down by digging in there purses. Right when we got on board there was a party in the atrium. We got a drink and began exploring! The ship was beautiful and super clean. There is bar every five feet and always a staff person waiting to help you. We immediately found the Red Frog Pub, and were so excited to finally be there as I had read all about it on line, and began the fun! We spent so much time hanging out and relaxing there. We would order a 101 oz. tap of the Red Frog beer and sail away the sea days playing shuffle board and fooze ball. Now for how else we spent our days...

Sea days: We loved the Red Frog pub like I mentioned above. We enjoyed the staff there and even tried the pub fare. The pork sandwiches were great the wings were so so, but worth the three bucks. We gambled a little each sea day and went to the Newly Wed game one day, which was awesome! Do not miss it. We played bingo which was fun but a bit over priced at $25 a player. We went to a cooking demonstration in the steak house which was awesome and delicious! But we were disappointed in the wine and food pairing we attended the following sea day, not worth the extra $15 a person. We always hot tubbed on the fifth floor right outside of the casino, both pools were a mad house but this area was always quiet with open loungers and hot tubs. We tried the thrill theater, which was ok, but short and for kids mostly I would say. It would be nice to have a regular movie play instead of the short clips for $7.50/person. We played mini golf and pool on the last sea day and really enjoyed sports square. It was relatively quiet, given it was a sea day and very fun. We never tried the water park, but it looked good. We also never got into either pool.

For an extra charge: We ate at the steak house which I would do again. Great service, great food, and an excellent atmosphere. It was more than worth the up charge. We had a massage at the spa which was nice, but not sure I would do it again. I was disappointed that none of the other spa features were included with the service. The drinks at all of the bars were great and well poured. I had no complaints in that area. Everyone in my party got the soda card which I recommend. It was worth the price as we each had at least 4 sodas a day. Read more
