Carnival Breeze Review

Additional details
There were 12 of us including 6 teenagers on the Breeze a few weeks ago. Overall, it was a good trip. There were many positives, and a few suggestions I would make to others considering this trip.
Positives: staff members were awesome, and very nice! (with the exception of one aggressive photographer who was actually rude during our dinner.) Our kids are all now following or servers on IG. They remembered all of our names by the second night - even though we were anytime dining, we went at the same time everyday just to get their station. We enjoyed the dive in movies on deck - my kids were thrilled that they got to see Divergent before it was even released on DVD! The balcony suite we had was in a nice location - sixth floor near the elevator. Suitcases slid nicely under the bed. Make sure you are not right above the Ovation Theater, one of our party was and it got loud. Guys Burger Joint was great - a favorite for all of us. Chocolate Melting Cake is as good as everyone says it is. The Spa salon was excellent, Stephanie was fabulous. Treat yourself!
Negatives: We would probably not opt for a July/August cruise again. IT WAS HOT. My oldest daughter actually got blisters on the bottoms of her feet from walking on the ship deck the one time she forgot her slides! The water in the pools on the ship was so hot, it was like a huge hot tub. The ropes course was a nice idea - but if your kids do not have closed toe shoes, they cannot do it. (best for younger kids - the older ones did not find it challenging.) My 13 year old said the water slide was actually very rough and she only did it once the whole trip. There was always quite a crowd of rowdy young kids at the slide area, huge lines to go on the slides, and our kids did not spend much time there at all. The teens stopped by the 14+ club once and said there were couples making out everywhere and not much else going on. Our stops included Key West, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. We wish we had more time at the GC and Cozumel. We enjoyed both, but felt rushed to get back to the boat.
