Carnival Breeze Review
Back-To-Back Eastern and Southern Caribbean

Additional details
My wife and I did back-to-back cruises on the Carnival Breeze in April of 2013. We did the 6-day Eastern Caribbean itinerary (Grand Turk, Jamaica, and Nassau) followed by the 8-day Southern Caribbean itinerary (Grand Turk, the Dominican Republic, Curacao, and Aruba).
I love cruising out of Miami because it seems to be the most organized and the fastest... especially for platinum level passengers. We literally were sitting in the VIP waiting room with our sail and sign cards in our hands 10 minutes after we got out of the cab. We arrived a little too early, and had to sit around for about a half hour until they began letting platinum level passengers on to the ship a little after 11 AM.
Priority boarding has always been one of the perks of achieving platinum status with Carnival... but now they've added a great new twist to it. Not only do platinum level guests get priority in boarding the ship, but their luggage does, too. It's kept separate from the luggage of the regular guests, and it's delivered first. We were totally delighted when our luggage showed up outside our cabin door at around 12:30 PM.
Cabin Review
Excellent location with no problems at all. No noises through the walls... even when the loudest deck parties are happening on Lido deck. Surrounded by cabins above, below, and all around... so no mechanical noises or any objectionable noises of any kind.
Very convenient location with just a short walk to the spa elevator... which makes it easy to get to the spa, the fitness room, the thalassotherapy pool, and the Serenity retreat. But you are far enough from all elevators that you do not hear them at all.
If you walk down the hall to the bow of the ship and go through the doors to the viewing deck, you have an excellent view of what's ahead of the ship. If you go the other direction, towards the rear of the ship, you can easily get to the main pool or the Lido buffet.
Heating and cooling in the cabin were the best I've ever experienced on a cruise ship. You can get the room as warm or as cold as anyone would probably ever want to.
This cabin is highly recommended.
