This was our annual family vacation, family of four, 2 kids ages 4 and 13. We usually cruise and decided on Carnival Breeze due to the ship being new and enjoying our last Carnival cruise on Liberty.

First, of all we live in Florida so it was a quick 4 hour drive to Miami for embarkation. We chose Premier parking for the price was right and near the port with shuttle service. I do not, I repeat do not recommend them for parking, due to it being in a sketchy area of town and the the shuttles were very small only allowing one to two families at a time on, We were in line for over 2 hours waiting for a ride, we called a cab and they never showed up due to the proximity to the port. There were no restrooms and if you have a 4 yr old like I do, they need to go every hour. My kid had to pee on a tree. There was a tent while waiting for the shuttle that only allowed two families to hide from the sun. You had to park your own car and a majority of people did not park very well, if you like your car and don't want scratches then do not use this lot.

When we finally got to the port for embarkation, the line looked long but it was very efficient and the security check was fast. The line for the keys was little wait, but not too bad, I think we were to excited to get upset with the wait, but overall the process was fast and organized. Read more
