Wrigley80's Carnival Breeze Photo Review - March 8-14, 2015

[SummerXU]

HAHAHAHA :D :D It is so funny that you mention that difference between "pop" and "soda"......my friends on the cruise with me from Florida gave me a hard time whenever I said I wanted a pop. they would literally laugh at me. Laura even went as far on the trip from Tampa to Miami as to ask me what kind of pop I wanted when we stopped for lunch.

My friends in Louisiana do the same thing. They think it is so funny when I call it "pop." Listen we live in the north and we call it "pop".....haha

 

My boyfriend makes fun of me as well. I'm from Ohio and have called it "pop" my whole life. He's from Alabama and likes to act like he doesn't know what "pop" is!

 

In college I worked for a family that had recently moved to Cincinnati from Boston and she always thought I was saying "pot machine" as well.

Us POP drinkers have to stick together....POP drinkers UNITE :p I am going back down to Louisiana at the end of May so I'm sure that I will be razzed again for drinking my can of pop ;)

[wrigley80]

Happy Monday morning everyone. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter with family and friends. Now who is ready for some more photos ;)

 

So after lunch I headed back to the cabin to get cleaned up and showered. Today was the Past Guest Party. This was my view for a few hours that afternoon

 

 

That water is so beautiful

 

[wrigley80]

The Past Guest Party was a good time and the drinks were flowing freely

 

Peggy and Laura

 

Me and Octavia

 

Deja Vu was there getting the crowd pumped up

 

The Past Guest Party wouldn't be complete without the Fun Ship Special

 

There's Mr. Hottie.....Matt Mitcham

[wrigley80]

Matt called all the kids up onstage to help him throw out Mardi Gras beads into the audience. See the tall boy in the front row in jeans. He was a Diamond guest. He had been on 28 cruises.....that kid is my HERO :) Matt said he is the youngest Diamond guest

 

It's time to do the WOBBLE. Laura is right up front

 

[wrigley80]

So tonight for dinner Peggy had reservations for the Chefs Table so Laura, Octavia, and I decided to go to Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse.

 

 

 

Me and the girls

 

Shrimp Cocktail for my appetizer

 

Enough lettuce here for a small gang of rabbits

[wrigley80]

I ordered the Cowboy Ribeye

 

And the chocolate sampler. I didn't really care for this. I think I will stick with the cheesecake next time

 

So after dinner we had plans to meet up with our friends from the roll call. We were going to meet up at the Limelight Lounge for some Karaoke

 

 

And then the Jager bombs started flowing ;)

[wrigley80]

Me and Justin

 

Me, Stu, and Carmen

 

Me and Josh

 

Me and Stu

I made so many new friends on this cruise. But these guys are friends for life. Laura and I are going down to Nashville the first weekend in May to see these guys. I can't wait to make more fun memories

 

This was a late night. Let's just say we closed down the Limelight Lounge. I got back to the cabin about 2:00 am.

[wrigley80]

So as I made my way back to the cabin....it seemed like I was the only one still out and about :p

 

[wrigley80]

So Day #4 of our cruise was here and it was a Port Day in Grand Cayman. Grand Cayman is one of my favorite stops. This was my 6th time in Grand Cayman and on all previous visits we went to Stingray City. This trip we would be doing something different. Octavia had a hook-up in Grand Cayman and we went to Tiki Beach for the day with an all-inclusive pass. Tiki Beach for free and its all-inclusive.....which way to the Bus :)

 

On the tender ride from the ship to shore

 

 

 

Grand Cayman always gives you the opportunity to get some great pictures of the ship

[wrigley80]

Where should we go today

 

 

 

I was already starting to do "the lean"

 

[Princess_K]

The private party for our meet and greet was free. You just have to contact Carnival a week or so prior to the cruise with your date, time, and how many people would be attending. They will do their best to accommodate your request.

Thanks so much!

[wrigley80]

I'm not sure that I could ever get used to driving on the "other" side of the road

 

And still doing "the lean"

 

 

[wrigley80]

Thanks so much!

 

You're Welcome. Be sure to give them enough notice. Contact them like a week or so ahead of time and then you will need to make a follow up post with John Heald to confirm everything

[wrigley80]

So once Octavia got ahold of her contact. He gave us a meeting time and location to catch the bus to Tiki Beach. We still had about an hour so we headed over to Margaritaville

 

Doing "the lean" on the Margaritaville Parrot

 

The real reason that we wanted to head over to Margaritaville was to go to Blackbeards to get our Big Black Dick rum. I got a bottle of coconut....I would have gotten two but I was flying home and I didn't want the extra weight. You pay for it and it gets delivered back to the ship for you.

 

After our Big Black Dick purchase I headed into the Margaritaville store to see if there was anything that I couldn't live without :p

 

 

 

[re-re]

I love the coconut bbd rum,it's the best one, i bought my mom some and it was a big hit at her party, all the ladies got a big kick out of it,the guys didn't want any bbd,lol.

[sayvan]

A fabulous review as always... I love love love the fun attitude and approach you have... life is way to short not to have fun.... I take the very same approach when on a vacation... oh and I have to get that flip flop sign the next time I am in a Margaritaville... Which will be in Turks and Caicos in just under 3 weeks when its our turn to cruise again! ... Thanks again for helping to build the excitement!

Will do!

How bad were the tenders at Grand Cayman? Was there a long wait in the AM/PM? We have never had to tender before and not looking forward to it

[Delta Dear]

As always and as everyone else has said, I'm enjoying your review. I, too, wish your Dad well. My husband spent several years on dialysis so I know it is an adjustment. His doctor had told us about the cruises that provide dialysis services but we never really explored the option. We had never cruised before and weren't sure we wanted to do that. My husband was blessed to receive a kidney transplant just two days after his 65th birthday. That was 12 years ago and we are planning cruise #7 in November on the Pride. I hope that your dad will cruise again soon, too.

[teacher34]

Brianna, I always love your reviews! I love how thorough you are and all the pictures you take. I particularly love the ppictures of the water that you showed. One of my favorite things to do on a cruise is to just sit and read and listen to the sound of the waves while looking out at the water. (Sometimes it's hard to focus on the book because the water lures my eyes out to it. ) Thank you so much for taking the time to do thyour reviews. I know it must take a huge amount of time, but know that it allows the rest of us to travel with you and enjoy cruising.

We would get along just great. The coconut BBD is also my favorite. Other than pineapple juice what is a good mixer?? I can't imagine why the guys wouldn't want any [emoji12]

Thank you so much. How can you not have a good attitude on a cruise???? I always leave my worries and bad attitude at the cruise terminal.....haha. We would get along just great....I bought that sign as well. I have it hanging at work.

Oh I am so jealous. Grand Turk Margaritaville is my favorite. I just love it there. I love the pool. When we go to Grand Turk we are always off the ship right away and we head straight to Margaritaville to spend the day at the pool.

I can't really attest to the tender in the morning because I have priority tendering (that's one of the Platinum perks). For tender ports I just go to guest services and someone from guest services escorts down to the gangway.

On this cruise the line for the return tender was AWFUL. It was very long so we sat down on a bench and waited for the line to go down. The line moved very fast though because of how many people they can fit on a tender. From the time we got in line to the time we got back on the ship was probably close to 45 minutes
