Just got off of the Breeze: 5/14/2017-5/21/2017

One more question, do I need to drop my luggage off if I'm carrying it in myself? I've never cruised out of Galveston and I'm carrying my own luggage on.

If you are carrying your luggage aboard, then NO you do not need to drop your luggage off. If you do that, then you will have to wait for it to be delivered to your room. But you can if you want.

We are booked in 2306 for October this year. Any pics that you can post of the room would be appreciated. we want to show the kids what the room looks like. Glad that you had a good time.

 

Will post more of the room from the other camera.

[BrotherCraig]

Were the veggies on your balcony the first day, or did someone throw them there during the week?

You should have told the steward. That is unacceptable.

 

$800 on pictures?????

Nope. DH would NOT go for that. LOL. Damn!!!!! That's a lot of pictures!!!! LOL

 

Breeze is our favorite ship too! But then she moved to TX, so we're trying Magic in June.

 

Cannot wait!!!

 

Thanks for the review and pictures!!!!

 

They were there the first day. First thing we saw when we went out to the balcony. We told the room steward on Day 1 and Day 3. We said heck with it after that.

 

Yep. 40 pictures plus canvas and a USB thumb drive with those 40 pictures on it.

 

We were on the Magic in 2015 and loved that ship as well. Had a great time. Happy Cruising!

No. Just carry it on with you and carry it off. They will screen it in security before you check in at the cruise line desk. Much easier to carry on.

Loving your review! I can't wait for my July 2018 cruise!

[MsMot]

$14.99 per digital photo.

 

Additional for prints.

 

Well that is crazy! They should be cheaper since they're not using paper or ink!

That is what I think as well. It is nice to be able to see all of your pictures just minutes after they take them though. I guess we all pay for convenience nowadays.

[camijo]

I like buying the pictures too. But whoa, not $800 worth. My first cruise, I spent about $150 pictures, that's what I mainly used my OBC credit for.

Review continued.....

 

We arrived at the cruise terminal in Galveston at 11:30 am. The line was outside of the terminal and stretched pretty far down the outside of it. We had FTTF so we walked right up to the front and got through security quickly. Check-in was always a BREEZE. The Gift Card reader was not working so was told that we had to go to the Front Desk on the ship. We had $1,000 in gift cards so they could be added to our Sail & Sign Account. The room was ready when we checked in so we headed up the ramp and onto the ship.

 

Our room was mid-ship and on Deck 2 (Cove Balcony Cabin 2306 and Interior Cabin 2308 - across from each other) so easy walk to our room from there. We got to our room and met our Cabin Steward, Jose from Columbia, and dropped our carry on luggage off. The room was decorated and looking great. Picture frame and beach towel that came with the Anniversary package was there as well. Wife was very surprised. Went out to the balcony and saw veggies all over the balcony floor. Mentioned it to Jose but it was never cleaned up the entire cruise. Checked luggage arrived about 45 minutes after we got to our cabins and then we went and explored the ship. The whole process with FTTF was excellent for embarkation.

My wife's favorite part of the cruise. She is photo crazy! lol I don't like them and rather do other things on a cruise ship or in ports but she is all about photos. We have over 5,200 photos from our cruise last week on our cameras. Didn't even go through them yet. For Pixels, we took over 200 photos with them on board the ship. Purchased around 40 in total. OVERBOARD! :eek:

Going on the Breeze on July 2nd and getting our 1st cove balcony! After seeing these photos I'm really excited!!

[BrotherCraig]

View from Balcony while in Galveston. As you can see, we got the camera one. Didn't bother us at all -- thought it was amusing.

 

 

[BrotherCraig]

Important stop -- the Alchemy Bar. This was just added to the Breeze last month during the Breeze's very first dry dock.

This was our second time having a Cove Balcony. We love it. Keep an eye out about an hour after it leaves Galveston. A lot of dolphins. We seen pods of them jumping and going crazy out there for the fish. There must have been at least 100 of them at one point. Amazing thing to see. You can see a lot from a Cove.

That's so cool! Do you have any photos of them???

[bartzcrew]

Would love to hear about the ports, we are on the Breeze in October!

Thanks

Wish I did. I was recording video but just couldn't get them. Just us shouting and say "wowwww". Lol Video was taken at 5:09 PM though. So about an hour out of Galveston.

Will have those up tomorrow. Cozumel first -- then Belize -- then Roatan.

Thought of another CON:

 

The Coffee Shop on board (pay) is now Starbucks coffee. Really loved the coffee from that coffee shop before. Sad that they are now brewing Starbucks coffee. Rather have the free coffee on board than that.

Yea...that really wasn't needed. I wonder why on earth they went with Starbucks. But I like their free coffee too...particularly with a small dab of the free ice cream in the bottom of my mug before I fill it with coffee. That was addicting!!

46 long days away to be on the Breeze. My kids are so excited. Their first cruise

[Drrandall]

I'm a single taking his 7 and 12 year old daughters on the Breeze. Cozumel, Jamaica, Caymen. What's the coolest port thing to do?want a beach day ( maybe passion island cozumel)( turtle farm GC). Jamaica is the hard one.... Dolphins? Tour? Beach? Whatcha think?
