During this cruise I was travelling with my husband, and our 10 year old son. This was my second cruise with Carnival Cruise lines, first on the Breeze, and fourth cruise in total and I have to say that this was by far my favorite cruise yet, and the family agrees with that statement 100%. We were traveling to Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. We were unable to stop in Grand Cayman due to bad weather that day, and Grand Cayman closing the port down, but Carnival refunded all money that was prepaid for excursions, as well as port costs, and also changed the days on-board itinerary to incorporate an unplanned day at sea. They took great care of everyone, making sure we still had a fantastic day, which we all did.

We arrived at the port of Miami around 11am after leaving our car in a parking garage and taking a shuttle over to the port. We reserved parking with a 3rd party and not with the port, and came home to a safe and sound car. :)

Checking in for this cruise was a total Breeze (pun maybe intended). We left our bags with the bag people, went though security, and then found a nice comfy chair to sit and wait to board. We did not have FTTF, but we were on board the ship by noon. They got everyone on VERY quickly which was a pleasant surprise considering when I called CCL before leaving I was told boarding would not take place until after 1pm. Once on the ship we headed over to the marketplace to grab some lunch before checking on our stateroom. Lunch buffet was amazing! You HAVE to try the chicken tenders and potato salad! YUMMY!! We loved the decor of the Marketplace.. and the entire ship for that matter. Everything was beautiful. As soon as we finished lunch we walked around the ship to take in the sites, and then headed to check on our room. To our surprise the room was ready for us, as well as all luggage delivered safely. Talk about fast!! Read more
