Thank you!!

[Sersee]

I just got off the Breeze and wanted to thank everyone for answering my numerous questions. I was very prepared for my trip!

 

 

It was a little confusing at first as to where to give the porters our luggage but the check in process was easy and quick. We were on the ship by 11:45am .

 

The cruise itself was awesome. We got to our room and it had two us plugs and one European. I used my adapter and USB port there. We had two extension cords. One was for the cpap and the other we had it go under the bed so I could use it for my fan.  After the first day when the stewards cleaned our room the duck taped it to the desk and floor so no one would trip! 

 

The one thing I will say is how uncomfortable the beds were. The couch bed was a rock. I should have asked for the egg crates (I believe i read that they were available). So now my hips are sore and so is everyone’s backs. That was one of my only complaints. Luckily we drank enough not to care lol. I care more today because it’s over lol.

 

MarcQ was awesome.  We started attending all the parties and trivia’s because they were that fun! Loved Red frog pub. That is where we always went to grab our drink and sit outside to watch us leave the ports. 

 

I know now people were complaining about the channels but we were fine because they had discovery and it was shark week lolol

 

The food was good. Guys burgers have crack in them because i had one everyday. John Wick was our midnight movie which I was excited for. The only thing was the bars closed down so that kind of stunk. I didn’t feel like going to casino bar.

 

Speaking of casino. ...the smoke was awful so we stayed away. 

 

I loved my my server and all the “showtimes”. I did it know about that, so that was super fun. 

 

 

All all the suggestions you all have were very helpful.  I brought towel clips and used them for the shower curtain. I also brought battery operated votives which was so helpful . We put one in the flier near the bathroom and one in the bathroom so we could find it. My daughter brought her shoe organizer which she used but I was fine without one. There was enough shelving in the bathroom for all my stuff.  I used the hook magnets for my lanyard which I would say 90% of the people onboard used including the guys. It was also great to hang up damp bathing suits. 

 

The wifi was slow but the social media apps ran well in the value plan. It ran pretty well at night. 

 

Disembarkation was ok. I don’t understand why they do it the way they do. They should call a floor, put an attendant in the elevators and only go to the floors that are allowed to go. We wee on 11 and the elevator stopped at every floor and was full so we could never get on. I’m sure people on other floors were getting off when they weren’t supposed to which was annoying. We finally got lucky and got one with an attendant that went from 3-11 and back. This is the way they should do it. After we got off, everything was smooth sailing and organized.

 

 

Thank you for all your help!!! If anyone has questions especially a newbie.. feel free to ask me!!!

I'm glad you had a good time.  I think we will have the same CD for our September cruise and am glad to hear you enjoyed having him.
What boarding zone did you have to be on the ship by 11:45?  When did you arrive? If you flew out of the Orlando airport, what time did you get there to fly home?

Thanks!

[Sersee]

We flew out two days before. It was cheaper flight wise to do this. We stayed at home2suites by the airport the first night which was very very clean.  Then we went back the next day for our car rental and went to Kennedy Space Center and then stayed in Homewood Suites. 

 

 

My appointment check in time was 11:30 and we were A4. We actually got on earlier than 11:45 because that was when we were sitting with drink in hand lol. 

 

Marc was great. He was so funny and had so much energy. I would go on any cruise with him

Oh and I forgot to add... amber cove and grand Turk were ok. We ran into the same issue where they told us to wait and only excursions were allowed off but of course no one listened. The day before they had some issues with crowding. So they tried to just let excursion people off in grand Turk. By the time we got off ... most of the chairs even the paid ones were taken. Only ones left the locals wanted $75 which um ya no. Lol Loved St Thomas and Puerto Rico.

For embarkation did you get there before your appointment window?  If so did they make you wait on a seperate line.  My appointment is for 12 but I love getting on the ship early if I can.

We did get there before our appointment window and we did get on a bit early. It took us a bit to get through the lines to get to our boarding area but once there,  we didn’t sit there for long. My husband just reminded me we had time to look around the ship. We toured the ship, had lunch and drink. Then we got to our rooms by 1:15 and it was ready for us. Perfect timing because we were able to unpack and then find a good spot for the sail away party. It got super crowded so we were glad to have been able to get lunch before they all came in

Port Canaveral employees are pretty strict enforcing check-in times. If you show up before your check-in time, you will be directed to the early/late line. We have cruised out of Canaveral three times this year on Sunshine, Breeze and Liberty. My wife and I are both Platinum and we arrived at the port around 10 AM for all three cruises. The early/late line was pretty long when we sailed on Breeze, not very long when we sailed on Sunshine, and ridiculously long when we sailed on Liberty. If you don’t mind the possibility that you may be standing outside for awhile, you can show up prior to your check-in window. If you show up during your check-in window, you will likely not stop moving from the time you enter the terminal until you are on the ship.
