This was my family's third cruise with Carnival, and the first time on the Breeze. In the past we have been on the Triumph and the Magic. Greatly enjoyed both prior trips.
Carnival has changed up embarkation since last I cruised and it seemed to go a bit smoother and faster this time around. You choose your check in time, do not arrive prior or you'll be asked to wait, and then walk right on board. There is always a fun party as the boat sets sail, and this one did not disappoint!
The ship is clean maintained very nicely. I did notice two separate times when there were people working on the boat and I felt it should have been done when no cruisers were aboard....but then I realized that is not very often and then I got over it. I'm talking painting a wall, the odor was strong as we were laying out, and then another time they had roped off a popular seating area on the Lido deck to remove and rebuild some tables. It took no time and the tables were bigger....so, no big deal, just caught me off guard.
It was clean, just warm and the beds were not comfortable at all.
