gambee Posted May 26, 2014 Author #778 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Great pictures from Cozumel my friend! That excursion you did looks like a blast! :) Thank you again Chris, it was a real blast. I might look into something similar here in Ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrestler171 Posted May 26, 2014 #779 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The game was left, right, center. At least I think that's what it was called. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortSideCruzan Posted May 26, 2014 #780 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The Deli is one of the venues located towards the back of the buffet, near the main dessert selection. Hi Gambee :) Ahhhhhhh.... I see you located where to get that smoked salmon on a bagel other than room service breakfast. I always turn that 'cold selection' into a hot selection & have them grill it as they would do to a grilled reuben sandwich, yum! The deli on Carnival is indeed a nice feature. My wife & I are loving your review! We'll be on the Breeze for a 14-day voyage next May. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'Allie Posted May 26, 2014 #781 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Wonderful review! Brings back memories. I took over 1,400 pix on my Breeze cruise. My group is luckily just as photo-happy as I am. I did a little searching and found a photoshop action that has a cartoon/comic effect that looks similar to your camera's mode. Going to give it a shot! I am on my forth Olympus (tg-1) and love them so I won't be switching to Sony just for an effect. My group went to the Italian restaurant on the last night and they brought us one of everything on the menu. We all ordered what we wanted then they filled in with entrees that weren't ordered so we could try them. Same with desserts! Great service! Also the live music acts around the ship were wonderful. Very talented musicians. We especially loved the guitarist in the Red Frog pub. Amy I think was her name. We spent a lot of time out on the deck of the pub. The slider booth was our go-to for relaxing escape from the sun. I agree that deck 5 needs some shade. Thanks you for your review! Going to read all of them. I'm taking my first solo cruise in January but there's no roll call action yet. Glad your solo experience worked out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmarie1623 Posted May 26, 2014 #782 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Gambee, If you want a buzz, the Alchemy Bar is the place to be. Hands down the best drinks onboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredgram Posted May 26, 2014 #783 Share Posted May 26, 2014 ........... Service was good, friendly and fast. The food was just ok, I got the grouper sandwich, I really think that was not grouper. That is my favorite fish, but it just did not seem like grouper. My mom got the same, and my aunt got a burrito which she loved. ............... Unique venues like this get a lot more traffic than the neighboring ones. I will say that I would not had eaten there otherwise. I actually had an amazing grouper sandwich once driving to Key Largo in a tinny shack in the middle of nowhere. Much better than this place and for 1/2 the price. But I guess you pay for atmosphere here? When we visited the Keys many years ago, we also had the best grouper sandwich in a tinny shack in the middle of nowhere. You could have made a couple sandwiches from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiredgram Posted May 26, 2014 #784 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Gambee, let me say that I have followed your past reviews. I don't think I commented on them, but I have always loved them. I watched your videos on this one, and thoroughly loved them. Your photos are outstanding. I still have to catch up on this review, but just wanted to say thank you.

janeyzee Posted May 26, 2014 #785 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I actually never owned a Gopro, I have thought of buying one in the past. But the picture quality and lack of controls always set me back. I guess for excursion like the one I like to do they would be simply amazing and convenient. But, they also come with a high price tag, not to mention that you have to buy all the accessories and such. But you're definitely right, on a day like that one a gopro would had been a Godsend. Oh, sorry, maybe mixed you up with someone else. Did you have some kind of attachment you put on your balcony railing to take photos during one of your reviews? I seem to remember some kind of hands free arrangement. But really, you captured some great shots during the race, even without a GoPro type setup.

Cruisin'Allie Posted May 26, 2014 #786 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I saw a gorilla pod in one of the illustrated photos. Those are great! I have two... One for p & s and one for DSLR. They'll attach to almost anything.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinbabs Posted May 26, 2014 #787 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The property was huge!!! I spot a possible Oregonian!! Or maybe just an Oregon State fan... GO BEAVS!!!

karl_nj Posted May 26, 2014 #788 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Something a little funny is that I had no idea I was a Art enthusiast, or even more so that one of my favorite artist was Peter Max, just a little inside joke there :D He was so nice and friendly to you on the Breakaway, I can certainly see why you are his biggest fan... Great review by the way. Makes me want to check out the Breeze one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krismas_tina Posted May 26, 2014 #789 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm sure you've heard it a million times before...but your review is fantastic! We are going on back-to-back cruises on the Breeze in July, and reading this makes me feel like I'm already there! Thanks for taking time out of your vacation to document all we need to know about this beautiful ship! I am now going to read your other reviews...I have to find out what happened with this Peter Max dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted May 27, 2014 #790 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Sounds like you are having a great cruise! I am loving your report, as usual.You mentioned a southern exotics option for a Breeze itinerary. I may have to look into that. In fact, I think I'm going to do that right now. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have to keep that into account when considering eating on the Breeze, if not you could completely miss a lot of great food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have some great scouts looking for talent. I hope you manage to get a similar effect with an app, from what I gathered it was really hard to accomplish it with some apps I tried. I am actually in the mist of updating my camera setup :D. Thank you for following the review :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have made a couple sandwiches from it. There are a lot of great places for good food in the keys, this kind of places that are on Duval really have nothing on them. I tend to eat on my way down to Key West, the food is so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
