2boys2girls Posted June 22, 2015 Author #101 Share Posted June 22, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2boys2girls Posted June 22, 2015 Author #104 Share Posted June 22, 2015 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!

2boys2girls Posted June 22, 2015 Author #105 Share Posted June 22, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2boys2girls Posted June 23, 2015 Author #106 Share Posted June 23, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2boys2girls Posted June 27, 2015 Author #109 Share Posted June 27, 2015 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2boys2girls Posted June 27, 2015 Author #110 Share Posted June 27, 2015 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!

2boys2girls Posted June 27, 2015 Author #111 Share Posted June 27, 2015 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!

2boys2girls Posted June 28, 2015 Author #112 Share Posted June 28, 2015 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2boys2girls Posted June 28, 2015 Author #113 Share Posted June 28, 2015 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!!!

We are on the Breeze in January and really enjoyed reading all about your trip! THANK YOU! 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!

LaShea Posted June 29, 2015 #117 Share Posted June 29, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crucero Posted June 30, 2015 #119 Share Posted June 30, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!

Jay Sam Posted June 30, 2015 #121 Share Posted June 30, 2015 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.
