Second time on Carnival and I can't wait to get back on the Breeze. Lots of similarities to the Dream, but I felt it had many more amenities like the Bonsai sushi bar, Guy's Burgers and Red Frog Pub. Also, the deck furniture and Serenity areas were very nice. The waterpark area looked incredible, even though I didn't spend any time there.

We had a Lido deck balcony, so I actually spent a lot of time enjoying the view. The crew indicated we were at full capacity but I never felt the ship was crowded or chaotic. Think that had a lot to do with the various open areas on the Promenade and Ocean Plaza that people can hang out, as well as Serenity. DD and I also used the heated thermal spa rooms and Thasso pool all week, which never had more than 2-4 people in there with me at one time. So relaxing and luxurious to indulge myself while on a cruise ship.

Only entertainment we experienced was the comedy show, and both the family and adult shows were hilarious. Really talented comic. I would've felt uncomfortable bringing a kid under 12, though, because it was a little racy and some curse words slipped out. My kids are teens and they couldn't stop laughing. Common complaints are that it's crowded in the Limelight Lounge but not if you manage your time and get there 15 minutes early for a good seat. No issues at all when we did that. Bar service was spotty, though. I brought in my own drink the 2nd time.

Cabin Review

Best cabin due to close proximity to elevators up to Spa and down the hall from the Lido pool area. No issues with noise. Loved having a balcony, although it was a little tight for 3 people. We were port side only in Cozumel.
