We have been out on Carnival 40 sea days over the last 10 years. We have taken our teenagers, our parents, and traveled with friends. This time we went with a couple that had never been on a cruise that are good friends of ours. We had heard the Carnival Breeze was a super nice ship and the 2nd biggest in the Carnival fleet. Well, they were right..Overall the ship was the best we had been on and the amount of passengers was over 4100 and about 1500 crew members. I always like to tell a little about each aspect of the embarkation-debarkation as it always helps new cruisers.

Embarkation-Even though they say you can't board until 1pm we always get there early around 12pm and start boarding. It went very fast and we were probably on the ship in 30 minutes. The couple we were with had birth certificates and they had split us in two lines. If you do have a passport it is a much faster line when you check in at the desk to get your ship card. Once we got to our counter the lady noticed we were travelling with two others and asked us where they were. Well we told her they had to go to other line and she told us to go get them. She was a very nice and funny and we had a good time with her!!! Once we were on board of course we went to eat like always. Went to room after we ate and our luggage was there by 4pm.

The ship had some great eating places..Our favorite was Guy's Burgers and the Wok..They had a nice Taco/Burrito bar as well. On sea days they have a BBQ restaurant that is very good but it's just two days on your cruise. We don't like Sushi but it was always full. The Marketplace was the main buffets and same thing for Breakfast every morning but good. We didn't eat much off them for lunch or dinner. We did eat at Deli a few times. We had dinner in the main dining room I believe three days. Lobster night was the best. They had two pay restaurants one being a Steakhouse and one being an Italian. We didn't eat at them. This ship had more food options than any other ship we have been on. Read more
