VASOXFANN Posted January 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2017 If you had to choose between 2 cruises with identical itineraries, 1 week apart, which would you choose and why? There is a $100 price difference with the Breeze cruise being more expensive. Is Breeze worth the extra $ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Banditswife Posted January 8, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2017 We sailed the Breeze a few years ago & liked the ship. It does have more water park type things & ropes course (IIRC) than the Freedom, which we sailed last Sep 2016. The Breeze is definitely a bigger ship with more venues, but we loved the Freedom's crew, especially the dining staff. So it might be more a question of what is important to you. We booked a cove balcony on the Breeze which we loved the proximity to the water, Freedom doesn't have these type cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted January 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Breeze has a couple of extra restaurants...the Italian Cuchina and the Sushi. If those matter to you, go for the Breeze. Breeze is also a bit wider, so the pool deck area seems huge, plus the ropes course, etc. I have been on Freedom, enjoyed it. Our next time out of Galveston we will probably pick the Breeze, just because we haven't done it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin Hogs Posted January 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Been on both .. Breeze best ship in the fleet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise pup Posted January 8, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Freedom is a slightly larger Conquest ship. Nice but nothing special. Breeze is a change of pace for Carnival and I enjoyed it a lot, so I would go with it. Interestingly, I was also on the Dream which is similar to Breeze but didn't care for it. Whatever improvements made with the Breeze worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsegal Posted January 8, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) If price is a deciding factor also look at flights/hotels/transportation if needed. When I was looking the cruises were pretty close in price and a few weeks apart but the other stuff made one over $500 more expensive.

VASOXFANN Posted January 9, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thanks all. We're cruising with friends from Texas, and the Breeze cruise ended up working better with all of our schedules, so it looks like we'll be giving her a try. Both ships sound great. Thanks for all of your suggestions :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaded Lady Posted January 9, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'll be on Breeze 2 months after you, in September. Would love to hear your thoughts when you return, since I had the same questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to hear your thoughts when you return, since I had the same questions! I'll be sure to post a detailed review, although I've never cruised on Freedom so I can't answer this particular question. We're excited because this will be the newest Carnival ship we've sailed on :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamartha Posted January 9, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'd take the Breeze in a nano second! My favorite ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkuczborski Posted January 10, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I've sailed the Breeze three times and just booked for the fourth time. If your sailing for the first time, I would for sure recommend the Breeze. Your experience will be 100% better. and like you asked, yes it's very worth it.
