I’m not a fan of dessert in general, but I indulged every night of the trip. They even made modifications to the menu for them to make it even more vegan-friendly! In general, I found the food quality to be exceptionally high, which meant I licked my plate clean (and often longed for seconds). The multi-course dinner on offer had enough options to appease picky eaters like myself (I don’t eat beef, pork, or most sauces) and vegans like my besties A Dash of Two, who were also on the trip. There was a wide range of international cuisines available there, but I must say that my personal favourite was Tandoor, the restaurant serving up fragrant Indian fare (honourable mentions go to the fries at Guy’s Burger Joint and the margarita pizza at Pizza Pirate).įor more formal evening dining, we made our way to the dining room, where we had a standing reservation every evening for 8:30. The 10th floor Lido deck, for example had an EXPANSIVE buffet area where you could eat whatever your little heart desired. I already referenced food in my last post about Carnival Cruise Lines but man… we gon’ have to talk about these food options one more ‘gin! Full disclosure: I gained about 5 to 7 pounds on this trip, and not for lack of movement because I went to the gym onboard 4 days out of 7. Every evening we entered the room we looked forward to seeing what towel creature they would come up with next. Somehow, they also managed to gift Liebling and I with the cutest towel sculptures ever. Housekeeping came by not less than two times a day to tidy rooms, make beds, and refresh towels. The other thing that impressed me greatly was how ardently the cleaning staff worked to ensure that the rooms and overall premises were spic and span. Even better, it came equipped with not only an ocean view, but a balcony from which to enjoy it. As the Breeze is one of Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ships (its inaugural sail date was in mid-2012) our room was spacious and modern. At over 1000 feet long and with capacity for 5000 guests and crew, it’s a veritable floating city. While cruise ships are an impressive feat of engineering as it is, the Breeze (as it’s affectionately called by passengers) blew me away completely in terms of size. I’ll share more in a future post about our three ports of call. ![]() ![]() Now that I’ve popped my cherry, I’d like to share more about my experience aboard the Carnival Breeze. In all seriousness however, I never realized how many people I personally know who are frequent (and die-hard) cruisers– including my own mother! While I was aware that she had been one or two cruises before, I was astounded when I discovered that this sailing would in fact be her FIFTH (and her third on the Carnival cruise fleet).Ī neophyte like myself had a lot of catching up to do, so I looked forward to checking cruising off my ever-growing travel bucket list. There are two types of people in life: those who cruise… and those who are soon-to-be cruise converts. What to expect onboard the Carnival Breeze whether you’re a first timer or a veteran! Here’s the skinny on the ship and Carnival Cruise Lines in general.
