This review uses experience on Royal Caribbean as a high water mark reference point; though the Breeze offers good value, it does not measure up to the quality of service, ship design, décor, and staff professionalism experienced on Royal C.

Staff:

Though the restaurants and cleaning staff had good intensions, they often seemed overextended. They often did not seem to understand English when asked any question beyond the most common phrases and then responses where difficult or impossible to understand. This was not the case at all on Royal C.so I was disappointed. Examples of the less than professional service are the following: Not thinking to serve a spoon with coffee and having to get a busy waiters attention to ask for one. Serving melted ice-cream or lukewarm food. Impolite or impatient ways of getting you to take bread or give your order because the waiters seemed pressured or rushed to get their job accomplished. (again not experienced on Royal C. ) Some waiters seemed to be armature or ill trained, unsure of how or what to do next while others did okay. It was inconsistent. I must say the dining directors were good and accommodating.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8B

Cramped with three twins but adequate. A Pullman bed out of the ceiling would have opened up the space much more for 3. Drab décor with only two plain pictures on the wall. Bath was nice, well designed. Three large closet spaces were just right. only two outlets limiting for phone and laptops. Sounds penetrated walls easily. Balcony enough for two people to sit.

Boarded ship here.

Falmouth

fun, thrilling, fast!

Falmouth

All fun, thrilling. 5 zip-line trips down the mountain in succession. Well trained and fun staff. BUT be prepared for a 40 minute trip from ship, then we stood in line to get on chair lift for over an hour, leaving little time for anything else but to get back on the ship when done.

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

Weather was poor and we were tired so did not see much except crowded shops.

Cozumel

Excellent instructor at "Sand Dollar Sports" gave us clear and carful step by step procedures before moving on to a great diving experience. Instructor was well prepared for any contingency and kept us safe while enjoying the experience of diving 25' into the beauty of sea life.
