The ship: Breeze was beautiful and brand new so it was exciting no matter how you look at it. Everything was clean and nicely done. On my prior sailing with Carnival, we went on Valor and we were disappointed in the decor because I did not realize that Carnival had a theme series.

Activities: Based on my experience in 2011, I wasn't expecting an awesome cruise. My expectations were met. There was not a large number of free and interesting activities scheduled. There were a lot of games including bingo and karaoke to occupy the nights and they even chose to play a Hasbro game during their nightly entertainment. This was truly disappointing. However, I expected not to be doing much on this cruise as I had the experience in 2011. We were there to just eat, relax and do nothing. So this was fine.
