Just off Breeze 8 night southern

Our final port of call...Aruba! The North Coast Jeep Safari tour through Carnival was a little pricey but we felt we got our money's worth. The desert like setting on the north coast of Aruba is gorgeous. This was our 1st stop on the tour and there were a lot of great photo ops!

Thank you! Believe me, if not for the great advice I got on here, I would still be lost. Once you finally figure it out, it's pretty easy! :)

Next stop...ostrich farm. Cute place, got a tour and a chance to feed the ostriches and get a pic taken. As you can probably tell, one of my daughters wasn't too happy to be that close to those beaks!. Baby ostrich so cute and I got a chance to try a local beer from Aruba!

Will try to finish posting the Aruba pics later tonight. Heading out first thing in the morning to take my daughter to FSU in Tallahassee where she will be starting the summer session. When I get back, I will post some last days pics. It's been really fun doing this review as it brings back such good memories!

Last few pictures of Aruba. I have to say this was one of our favorite places that we have visited and hopefully we will be able to visit again!

We have sailed this itinerary on another Carnival ship, but it was so great to be able to see your pictures and relive my experiences! So glad you were able to figure it out!

It's all about reliving the memories...that's why I like to read reviews and why I decided to post my 1st review!

[2boys2girls]

So back from dropping off my daughter at FSU :(

Will check my last few pics and add them along with my last few remarks about our wonderful Carnival Breeze cruise!

Not the best of final pics but just a couple of the towel animals our wonderful cabin stewardess made for us! The pic of the wonderful "ladies" was part of the Miss Carnival Breeze contest and the wonderful woman with her back to the pic deserved to win because she was awesome!

The last pic is one of my favorite with my son and I enjoying a final dinner in the dining room before I got up to join our wonderful waiters in their final song of the night!

Sorry to double post the Miss Carnival Breeze pics. Just FYI, the 1st lovely guy belonged to the bikini clad wonderful lady to the left. The guy in the middle was on his honeymoon and wearing my daughter's fringed purse and the last guy in the green sarong won the contest, along with his partner...it was a really fun contest!

Did I forget the last pic of the all important ice carving on our last day at sea?! We were sitting a few rows back from this and have seen it before so decided to stay out of the way until the masses moved back! :)

Poor Orlando, the assistant cruise director had such a hard time getting the kids to stay back and was asking parents to help out...too funny as most parents were probably sipping their fruity cocktails and just enjoying the moment!

One of my daughters finally moved in to snag a pic although we really couldn't tell what it was...any suggestions??

[2boys2girls]

My final thoughts on our wonderful Breeze cruise...first of all, wish it didn't have to end! Met so many nice people, both Carnival employees as well as other cruisers. Everyone really does seem to have fun and just being on vacation seems to put everyone in a good mood!

Loved the itinerary as we had never been to any of the 4 ports of call. Loved Grand Turk and Aruba the most. The weather was absolutely beautiful the entire cruise, although the seas were rocking a little leaving Aruba.

Our cabin stewardess and our waiters were wonderful and a couple of the drink waiters on the Lido deck were awesome! Wish that we had done more on the ship (never made it to the sports deck, miniature golf, thrill theatre) but I guess that's a good reason to plan a future cruise!

The ONLY negative I can even think of was during debarkation. It was fine hanging out on the Lido deck having breakfast and waiting for our zone to be called. When we finally were called and got off to collect our luggage, we had to wait for about an hour and a half before it came out on the belt :(

Maybe that's the way they make it easier to leave!! Anyway, if that's all I can come up with as a negative, than what an awesome trip!!

To those future Breeze cruisers...enjoy and you will have an awesome time!!!

You're welcome...it was fun to do! I wanted to add that the last 2 days at sea, they finally did live music on the Lido Deck main pool area throughout the day. It varied between a kind of island reggae duo and a guitar soloist playing over by one of the outdoor bars. It was nice to listen to and people seemed to enjoy it. On the last sea day, the guitar playing soloist gave people, mainly children and older teens, a chance to sing along with his guitar. It kind of was like a karaoke show and there were some really good, young singers. This attracted quite a crowd and much applause. It was a lot of fun!

Thank you for taking the time to post a review and figure the pictures out. They were amazing pictures and you might have sold me on a couple of excursions in these places. We will definitely be doing Jack Shack for sure.:) WE go on the Carnival Vista on 12/03/16 to these exact places and I can't wait. Like you...this will be our first time to any of these islands and also Miami so we are really excited.

Glad to help out! I'm sure you will have an awesome cruise. The Vista is the next ship we will be looking into for our next cruise!!

Thanks for the review! I just booked the Breeze for next summer. It will be our boys' first cruise. They will be 6 & 10. What things did your son do onboard that he really enjoyed?

My son is almost 15 so he actually hung out with us most of the time. I feel that there is so much on board for kids, even though we didn't get to all of them. There's the whole water park/slide area, the miniature golf, the game arcade, the Thrill Theatre, and of course, the kid's clubs. I'm sure your boys will have a blast!!

Thanks so much for the awesome review and sharing your family vacation with us. I am planning a Breeze cruise in Nov/Dec so this was really helpful. Eastern CRB this time, but have been on S CRB and your information was perfect and I am sure quite helpful for those who haven't been yet. By the way, beautiful family.
