We left Miami and we usually stay at the Holiday Inn because of it's location across from the Bayside Market.Lots of shops ,restaurants and Bands playing.Transportation to the port was easy and inexpensive.The bus across the street will take you to South Beach for $2.25, or a water taxi is available.We were at the terminal by 11:30 ,waited for our zone to be called and we were in our room by 12:30.We were very pleased with room #7389.Much better then the aft we stayed in last year.The balcony at the back is not fully covered so therefore it was always wet and dirty especially from the exhaust.Every evening they hose down the decks above making it too wet to enjoy.The side balconies are fully covered and we were able to sit out even in the rain without getting wet.Agus was the best porter we've ever had.I always leave notes on post cards from our home town so they get to enjoy what we have to offer.i also packaged local candy form Ganong chocolates as a thank you gift along with a daily tip for their hard work away from home.However ,even though I had it nicely wrapped up in a see through cellophane, customes tore open the bag.We enjoyed the Breeze last December especially with Matt Mitchim as cruise director,he made our cruise.Wee Jimmy is very boring and gets on your nerves .The most annoying part is when passengers claim their chairs by the pool area even when they are not using them.The dancers and singers were terrible in the Ovation Theater.Only one guy could dance and one girl could sing.The stage and effects are beyond beautiful however Carnival needs to scout out some talent.We loved The String classics with Essencea who were from Spain and they were so talented.We enjoyed the Dive in Theater every evening as well as the thrill ride theater.The comics were so funny.The food was okay ,we ate mostly at the buffet.The spa was amazing and very professional.I always enjoy salt water pools however theirs had an unusual horrible odour ??The outside sport activities were fun. Debarkation was unorganized but we managed to be off by8:00 .Much easier if you take your luggage off yourself as we had an early international flight. We always try to put a positive attitude while traveling however the Breeze was much more enjoyable last December.
