My husband and I sailed on Carnival Breeze on March 28, 2015, out of Miami. We stayed on deck 11 cabin number 11276. Overall, I would give the cruise a B to B+. The staff seemed flat and unhappy which took away from our cruise experience. Everyone appeared stressed and overworked and many of the small things that make a cruise special were missing. There was a general lack of friendliness and welcoming on the part of all the staff.

The embarking was fine as was the debarking. The lines were not too bad. This was our 10th Carnival cruise. It would be 11, but Carnival will not let us count the 12 day cruise we took on Princess, even though Carnival owns the Princess line. It is amazing that after that many cruises (74 days not counting the Princess cruise of 12 days) that all we got for a "perk" was one bottle of water each (for the whole trip - not per day), a pin which we have no use for and a few drinks at a past guest gathering. You would think that we would at least get priority embarking and debarking after that may cruises.

We could not go to Grand Turk because the wind made docking unsafe. This is not the fault of Carnival, but the port fee credit did not compensate for missing a day at port. Read more
