We chose the Carnival Breeze because of the destination of this cruise and because the food and on board activities looked like a good fit for our family. The Breeze did not disappoint. There were roughly 4000 people on our boat and not once did it ever feel like that.

The food was great! We used the room service continental breakfast almost every morning for coffee and you could get toast, muffins, cereal, yogurt, melon also. We did breakfast in the buffet area and there were plenty of options. All of your common breakfast foods, a few pastries, plus an omelette bar. For lunches when we were on the ship we did the buffet, Guy Fieri's burger bar, and the Blue Iguana Cantina for tacos. There was also the option of pizza, a sandwich shop, and a free pasta bar in the Italian restaurant. The chicken strips in the buffet were awesome and on our last day they had a chocolate extravaganza during lunch time. There was chocolate for miles! Guy's burger bar is fantastic. You can choose from five different types of burgers, includes fries, and a topping bar with tons of options. Really great burgers! The tacos were also very good. You could also get breakfast tacos or burritos from the Cantina. The lines can be long for the burger bar or tacos during lunch so I would suggest going at a time a little off normal.

We ate dinner in the main dining hall four of our seven nights and enjoyed it. There are quite a few options for everyone and the service is top notch. You can get a lot of the same food at the buffet, but you go to the main dining hall for the experience mostly. The wait staff was great and they put on a dancing show a couple of nights we went there. We didn't get a chance to try the pizza, but there was always a long line for it. Read more
