Our Beautiful Breeze cruise (with pics) 8/15/15

[Jamman54]

We are continuing to walk forward on the starboard side of the Lanai…..

 

 

Large chess set…..

 

 

Rats!! It figures. We can’t get to the bow due to maintenance. We’ll have to cut across to the port side…..

 

 

We are now heading aft on the port side…..

 

 

 

Here is one of the port side hot tubs…..

 

 

To be continued…..

[familyfuncruise]

Enjoying the review. Thanks for posting. Counting the days until we board.:D:D

[Jamman54]

We are approaching the outside seating by the Ocean Plaza on the port side…..

 

 

 

Travelling further aft, we come across the outside seating for the Red Frog Pub…..

 

 

 

Here is the second, aft, port side hot tub…..

 

 

We have arrived at the stern of the ship, looking at the wake of the Breeze…..

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Here’s another view of the wake…..

 

 

We are heading around, back to the starboard side of the ship…..

 

 

 

Looking forward up the starboard side of the ship, from all the way aft…..

 

 

This is the last of the four hot tubs and shower…..

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Continuing to head forward, we are approaching Fat Jimmy’s C-Side BBQ…..

 

 

 

It will be opening up later for lunch, since it is a sea day…..

 

 

We are back to where we began. I hope you enjoyed the walk…..

 

 

I stopped by the Ovation Theater, where Matt the CD was hosting the Morning Show…..

 

 

The stage was set for the Towel Animal Theater, which would follow the Morning Show…..

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

The map on the wall shows our current position, as we are heading back to Miami…..

 

 

 

I made my way to the Lido Deck aft. The Tides pool and hot tubs are not that busy this morning…..

 

 

Suzette and Teodoro at the Tides Pool bar…..

 

 

Teodoro sets me up with a dark and stormy…..

 

 

After a drink or two or three, I made my way back to the cabin. Our (gasp!!) debarkation information has arrived…..

 

 

To be continued…..

Loved the tour around the Lanai! I'm hoping to talk my husband into a cruise on the Breeze next year for our 25th anniversary. What is in a "dark and stormy"? Looks good!

Have had JAMMAN, PATTI, RYAN'S Breeze cruise withdrawl. Haven't been able to get to the computer for a few weeks with "family stuff" getting in the way....including the birth of our 6th grandchild at the ripe old age of 55 and 5 months! :eek: Just read thru 10 pages and LOVING your cruise and mourning you returning to Miami. Patti looks so sweet in her pictures and I want to cruise with you guys and have some "Caribbean Colada time" with Patti! :rolleyes: The picture of you in the steakhouse in post 434 should be copied, framed and put on your "cruise wall." Very nice picture of both of you. Can't imagine you can survive another 11 months without a cruise. :( I am in DRY DOCK and hating it, but handling it by reading reviews! LOVE Grand Turk and loved seeing those pictures which brought back such great memories. THANKS for sharing another great adventure! :)

Thanks for reading! A dark n' stormy is Gosling's Black Rum, ginger beer, & a lime.

Hey Karry!! I was wondering where you were. Congrats on the grandbaby!!

 

All I can say is Carnival Sunshine from NYC on August 1st. I know you don't cruise during the summer but maybe you should start!! :D

[Jamman54]

This afternoon was the second blackjack tournament of the cruise. Ryan and I both entered, but this time neither of us would qualify for the final table. Ryan and I played regular blackjack for a good three hours, but we wound up breaking even for the day.

 

Patti went to the afternoon session of bingo, and she didn’t have any luck as well. As she was leaving the Ovation Theater she ran into Matt, who happily posed for a picture with her….

 

 

Today was the day for the Diamond / Platinum party. Here is what the new invitations look like…..

 

 

The party was held in the Limelight Lounge…..

 

 

Ryan and I at the Diamond / Platinum party…..

 

 

A line of senior officers greet guests as they arrive…..

 

 

Matt was the master of ceremonies……..

 

 

To be continued……

[Jamman54]

Matt along with the senior staff members…..

 

 

Captain Massimo Marino…..

 

 

My favorite bartender Teodoro was working the party. Here he is with Ryan and me…..

 

 

After the party, Patti went back to the cabin to pack, and I went to the Red Frog Pub for the last time this cruise. Here is Ryan with his room stewards Mahayana and I Nengah.....

 

 

Soon it was time for our last dinner of the cruise. We started off with a lot of starters. Patti had the French onion soup and the flatbread…..

 

 

 

To be continued……

[Jamman54]

For his starter, Ryan had the macaroni and cheese, and I had the mussels……

 

 

 

Patti and I both had the caprese salad…..

 

 

For his main course, Ryan had the grilled chicken…..

 

 

Patti and I had the ricotta ravioli for our mains…..

 

 

I also had the shrimp Creole…..

 

 

To be continued……

[Jamman54]

We were all too stuffed to even order dessert. The wait staff sang and danced for us one last time…..

 

 

 

Our wait staff posed with us before saying goodbye…..

 

 

 

 

After we left the dining room, Patti went to the casino to play some slots, while Ryan and I went to the adult comedy show starring Percy Crews. It was a great show.

 

We all made it back to our cabins about the same time to find our last turndown and towel animal of the cruise. All in all, it was a great relaxing day at sea…..

 

 

Coming up next: Debarkation and final thoughts.

Agree 100%. One of the reasons why he was given the Vista.

[crazy4themouse]

What a great review!! We haven't even sailed on Carnival yet (first one coming up in March!) but we've already decided on the Breeze for our honeymoon the following March. Your review has upped my excitement by some exponent, and I can't wait to show my honey. :-)

 

Thanks for such a thorough visual review!

[wrigley80]

Another fabulous review Jeff. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. It was a great way to hold me off until I cruise on the Ecstasy in 11 days

[DaisyGirl55]

Fantastic review! Between the pictures and the commentary, this is by far one of the best and detailed reviews I have seen. I feel like I was right there with you.

 

I am sailing on this ship for 8 days on 10/10....next weekend! I was excited before - but now? I am about giddy with anticipation and excitement. I was pretty useless at work leading up to this date, but your review has pushed me over the work edge. I am done mentally - and in cruise mode! Woo-Hoo!

 

Thank you - and thanks to Patty too!

[js]

Thank you so much for your detailed review! I love reading each and every word along with the pictures!

 

Sailing the Breeze end of January and you have helped so much!

 

Thank you!
