A group of 46 of us took an 8 day Caribbean cruise sailing out of Miami. My family and I traveled from New Jersey and spent a night in Miami for our 5th cruise. Stated at the Marriott Biscayne Bay. Great hotel. Stayed there before, will stay again.

We were excited to experience the new Breeze! Overall the Breeze is a beautiful ship. Lots of new areas to explore. Love the new layout. BUT it seems like they added so much stuff that the common places are smaller i.e. the beach pool area on Lido is no longer a tiered area and there is markedly less space and less beach chairs (all the reviews that say that you need to get up at dawn to get a beach chair were so right). The Lido Marketplace also seemed smaller and got very crowded at breakfast and lunch. Definitely try walking around to find a shorter line (if there is such a thing) as people tend to forget they have the same thing in two areas. The seating areas on Lido were beautifully designed, as was the outside seating on deck 5, 11 and 12.

ENTERTAINMENT - there was definitely less entertainment on this cruise. On the 3rd night there was no karaoke and not much else to do except for profanity laced comedy or the corny nightclub which was actually quite under occupied every time we passed. It's true about there not being enough accommodation in the Limelight Lounge for the comedy shows. People just everywhere. Again, this lounge seemed to be smaller than on other ships. Also waited all week for the Hasbro game night which they promised would take place 3 times (finally happened on the 5th day and also the last sea day). Absolutely loved it and my daughter was able to take part. They definitely could have put on another couple of game shows.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin was ok. Obviously it could always be bigger for a family of four, but it was adequate. Noisy neighbours, great balcony, not too far from elevators but close enough.
