We just returned from our 8 days on the Breeze and it wasn't everything I expected, but we enjoyed it for the most part. We had 3 interior cabins on the Lido deck as there was 11 of us. It was close quarters and it seemed smaller than our interior cabin on Royal Caribbean. There was no couch in the room. Just beds, dresser and safe/fridge/TV combo. Also 3 closets. Our housekeeper was Putu and he was great. There were 4 of us in our room and after the 1st day being in such tight quarters we asked if he would pull up the 2 beds so we could have more space during the day and he did, everyday. We tipped him extra for it. Also, I had thrown away a bathing suit and he would empty the trash and leave it there for about 2 days until I told him that it really was trash and he could dispose of it. That was considerate of him I thought to not just assume. My mother's room guy was Gabriel and they really enjoyed him as well.

Guy's Burgers were good. Thick and a bit greasy. My family ate here often. I was done after 2. I didn't like their fries. The tacos/burritos were good, but the burrito line was usually long. I managed to have 2 of these as well and that was enough for me. The 24 hour pizza wasn't great, but was the only option for late night. The pizza's are super thin and don't have much flavor. The Tandoor is also opened late and had hot dogs, sandwiches & sweets late at night. I didn't try them during the day or late night. Mongolian Wok always had a ridiculous line and when I finally was able to catch it, it only serves noodles. I don't like noodles, so I got off the line. I thought they had rice. The Lido Martketplace is where we had breakfast usually as well as the Blush restaurant for Brunch. I enjoyed the sit down Blush for brunch (liked having the option of breakfast or lunch) but others in our party didn't like having to wait so we alternated. The Marketplace served the same thing daily (scrambled eggs were questionable some days) but you can get the same thing at Blush. The omelette stations were good, but you had to catch it at the right time as well or else the line would be too long.

We ate dinner at Sapphire Deck 3 with Yves and Wayan which we LOVED. No really - they are the best. We were seated with Sam which we liked as well, but his helpers were not friendly.  Yves & Wayan were nice, remembered our names and what we liked, made suggestions if we had questions about the menu. They were THE BEST and we tipped them extra as well. Also during dinner, Sibie the Magician would come by and do tricks for the kids which they LOVED. He was great too and very funny. We didn't try Jimmy's Seaside Buffet at all. We did do the complimentary lunch at Cucina Capitol, the Italian restaurant on board. I wasn't impressed at all. First off the staff were not nice or friendly. They claimed all the seats were taken (we could see they weren't) and gave us multiple hot plates to take down to the Marketplace to eat. You have a flight of stairs to get to and from the restaurant and they just rushed you along to get your plates and go. The pasta was decent. The Meat Lasagna was DISGUSTING! It was made with like a roasted beef and not ground beef. Nasty. None of us liked it. Candy Shop prices $12 a pound. Didn't get anything there.

Cabins were very tightly spaced. Not enough room to walk around in when all beds were out. Thought there would be a couch in the room. I did like being on the Lido deck.
