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

[Jamman54]

I'm enjoying following along, as usual, Jeff. Patti's sail away shots are terrific. I do like sailing from Miami, and got to wave to my old friends Breeze and Glory in July. :):D I appreciate your dedication to Kevin, too.

Hey Heather! Thanks for following along yet again, and for your kind words. From what we saw, the Getaway looked like an awesome ship!

Great review Jeff! I have to say I think it's time for Edge:The Comedy Juggler to go. He's had like an 8 year run. Send him to Holland America or something.

Great review so far, but would LOVE a mention about the above dining choices,

 

How was the tomato soup vs the corn chowder?

 

Was the Mac and Cheese like that served at the Seaday Brunch, which was wonderful?

 

How was the Salmon? Was it Broiled (as we love) or poached and baked or something else?

 

Any comments would be appreciated.

It was indeed awesome! Breeze is still my favourite Carnival ship, but Getaway has a slight edge at the moment. :cool: I think partly because it was different sailing with just my DH and neither of our sons for the first time.

Someday we're going to sail together. We will have a BLAST...and Patti and I can sip Caribbean Coladas together while you and my DH Jim try your luck in the casino! ;):p;)

Hey Jimmy!! Thanks for following along again!! Edge probably has a lot of shelf life left. Remember Zuniga? He was around for decades, and for all I know, he could still be performing! :D

Hi Gary! Thanks for reading. When I present my food porn, I rarely give my opinion as food is very subjective. I'll only comment if I really like or dislike something. But since you asked, in opinion the tomato soup was very good, and the corn chowder was a little watery. We've never had the mac and cheese at the Sea Day Brunch, so we can't compare, but I would think it would be very similar. The salmon fillet is grilled, and Patti and I both like it. Hope that helps, and stay tuned for much more! :)

Great review !!

 

I read that you did some gambling, how was the casino?

 

I see your from North Jersey do you get down in AC to gamble at all ? We are going on the Breeze next month for basically free from the Tropicana here in Atlantic City.Not too many people know about that perk :)

Thanks for reading. I wound up losing a little for the cruise, so not to bad. The casino hosts, pit bosses, and dealers were great.

 

Though I used to go to AC fairly often, now I only go a couple times a year. The Sands in Bethlehem, PA is less than an hour away, so I go there more.

First, Im so sorry for your loss. As a parent I cant imagine your pain.

 

 

 

But, thank you for taking time to share your story with us. We are booked on this same itinerary and ship in March. Cant wait to see what you do at these ports.

 

 

Didnt I just read and comment on your great Breeze review with the kids and grandpa lol.

 

Im on the Breeze in January and read every word (I think lol) of your review lol. Loved it!

[wrcjr98]

Awesome review so far!

So sorry for your loss...I can't even imagine.

 

I have a question - I'm sure that there is a reason there is a "secret" deck, and I'm not trying to spoil the secret, but - how do I get in on the secret?!! We have an inside cabin, so no balcony, and I'd really like to check this out!!

[JMHAM1]

Excited for your review. Less than 30 days until we sail on the Fascination and time is going slowly!! A good picture review makes the time go by faster!!

[anewmac]

Had to check my review as I thought we had the same table lol but we had 746, we were neighbors lol

[bluemoon12]

Thank you for all the hard work you put into your reviews! That being said..... I am waiting patiently for more! LOL

Thanks for your kind words, and for following along. They really aren't a secret. On the Breeze just go all the way forward on Decks 6,7,9,10, & 11, go out the doors on either side, and you're there!

 

Excited for your review. Less than 30 days until we sail on the Fascination and time is going slowly!! A good picture review makes the time go by faster!!

 

Thanks for reading! Enjoy your cruise on the Fascination. We have enjoyed our cruises on her.

 

Thank you for all the hard work you put into your reviews! That being said..... I am waiting patiently for more! LOL

 

Ditto! :D

Nudge nudge ;);)

 

Thanks!!! More going up later this evening.

Hey Andrea!! Since we had an odd number it appears we were on the opposite side. Didn't it feel like you were sitting in a closet? :p

 

Following!

 

Following along.... :)

 

Glad to have you aboard!!

We want more, we want more!!![emoji38]

Day 2 – Our first day at sea…..

 

 

We slept in until 8 am, and looking out the window we could see it was a beautiful day and the seas were calm. I stepped out on our “secret” deck and took this picture as we sailed towards St. Maarten…..

 

 

At 9 am Patti and I made our way to the Sea Day Brunch on the lower level of the Blush Restaurant. The brunch is served on sea days from 8:30am to 1pm.…..

 

 

 

We used our free drink coupons for a Malibu bay breeze and a screwdriver…..

 

 

Patti started out with a fruit plate…..

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

I had an order of huevos rancheros, along with a side of bacon and corned beef hash. You can also get huevos rancheros at the Blue Iguana Cantina at breakfast on ships that have them…..

 

 

Patti ordered a tomato and cheddar cheese omelet, along with a side of turkey bacon…..

 

 

The chandeliers are glowing WHITE, which looks elegant compared to the ORANGE at dinner each night. Yes, I’m obsessing! Lol.

 

 

After brunch, Patti was going to play bingo in the Ovation Theater, followed by the port talk, and then the shopping talk. So, it was my job to take the camera, take some shots around the ship, and out on the open decks. First, I needed to make a stop in the Men’s room, and while there I just had to chuckle. Since nobody was in there but me, I took these shots. Notice the tile behind each urinal which depicts a waterfall. They provided the visual, and you provide the sound effects. Brilliant! Lol. Let me just say that the public restrooms were kept spotless, at least the Men’s rooms were…..

 

 

 

Out of the bathroom and into the arcade, located on Deck 4, aft…..

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Here is a whole page load of Warehouse Arcade views…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Next, just around the corner also on Deck4 aft, was Club O2, for the 15-17 year olds…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

[Jamman54]

Right next door was Circle “C”, for the 12-14 year olds…..
