This was my 15 cruise, my third on Carnival; Carnival has the best price point for any destination that we looked at. I have found that all cruise lines do something very well and some just meet your needs. Carnival exceeded our expectation is all areas that mattered, Food, Room, best value for your money.
We arrived in Miami the night before our cruise and stayed at the Marriott Biscayne Bay Hotel, we got in on a group rate through Cruise Critic. Our room over-looked the Bay and when we awoke in the Morning our shipped was docked right behind the Breeze.
Embarkation was easy and we waited in the VIP lounge due to our Ocean Suite. Once on-board we had to try "Guys" Burgers, they were delicious and managed to eat them a few more days during the week, the Fries are the best and we saw a lot of people just ordering the fries.
