My mom needs a GF diet. When we get onboard she goes to the dinning room to see the special menu for the night. She is able to order it ahead of time. From then on out at dinner a hostess comes over to take her order for the next night.
They do have GF bread in the dinning room and special desserts.
-
They also do a special show on Christmas that also included Chanukkah and Kwanza. They bring all the camp kids up and have them sing as well.
For those that celebrate Chanukkah they had candle lighting every night in the lobby run by guests.

My family usually cruises CCL Christmas/New Years because this is when the kids can go. FYI that is when all the kids are out of school and do travel. We have been were there were over 1,400 under 18 kids onboard.
We did sail 1 year on Princess Christmas/New Years and there was only 30 kids on board.
-
My boys love the CCL kids club, they were not thrilled with NCL's reason being. On NCL they were told once checked in they have to stay 2 hours before they can check themselves out. Some times they like 1 activity and not the next or only want to go for an hour, this you can do on CCL.
As far as dress goes. My kids wear khaki's and a polo for formal night sometimes, on New Years Eve we usually dress a little nicer. Jeans or dress shorts regular nights. You can dress up but it's up to you.

My boys 14 & 12 have been on 23/20 Cruises. They love camp carnival the best (except for Disney when they were younger).
The main thing I would change is check in/out. They need to just be able to swipe the room key and check signature (or a wristband that can be scanned) This will make the process go so much faster especially at high volume times.
The other thing is when a child is at the age cut off for a group. For instance a 9th grade high school student can still be 14, so he has to stay with the younger kids then being with the older group. They should be able to have parent waivers when it's a few month out. (some ships will let you/some won't depends on head counselor)
If my kids had their choice they wish carnival would add something like Magic Quest from Great Wolf Lodge. It's an interactive electronic game that is all over the hotel and appeals to kids of all ages!
Maybe one day the beards will listen......:)

We just had the cabin under the galley on the breeze. We must of been under a chopping station. but it didn't start till after 9am. Just remember they don't cook at night so you should be fine. What we did hear was very minor and during waking hours. It is much better then other places, I wouldn't worry!
-
Very detailed and interesting review of the TA. Enjoyed it. thanks.
-
Just off the Breeze and here is what my DH got out of people watching
Enjoy!
-
Hi here is the link to our video from our trip to mystic mountain new years week 2013.
Enjoy!!!
-
Here is a funny video of our recent New Years 6 day sailing on the Breeze. Great ship and fun....
-
:) I am disappointed to see the awkward IMHO seating in the Comedy club area....wow...that is very small...little tables and chairs...looking at that makes it easy to see why people are saying how they could not get a seat or had to stand in line ...ouch
thanks for the videos
I agree but we did get seats, maybe because I didn't enjoy the comedians on this ship. I was on the Imagination last month and couldn't stop laughing. One of the Comedians (Not the 1 from Detroit) was Blah, never wasted my time to go back and see him.
Thank you for posting the videos. However, now I am alittle worried. In your opinion, since I am wheelchair dependent, do you think I will have problems getting around?? Alot of areas in the video seem very narrow (ie: adult area, piano bar, walkway above pool).We knew people on our ship who's son is in a wheelchair and they seem to be able to get everywhere. The piano bar especially since it is no longer a closed in room has plenty of room to manover.
-
Just back from the Breeze. My DH woke up early and decided to video all public areas (Except Camp and Spa) on the Carnival Breeze.
Here are the links to 20+ min of Virtual Carnival Breeze tour in High Def. Like you are on the ship.
Part 1 of 2
Part 2 of 2

You didn't ask me, but I'll answer. :D !!
Thnaks for your answer ms flo!
We did end up going thru the ship, CCL.
For anyone going I recomend finding out how many ships are in port that day. We had 5 of the largest in and it was nuts!
It was over an hour wait for bobsledding to do the 2 minute ride. Great ride, but i wish they spread the tours out more. We did video it and when i get it uploaded I'll post link
-
Just there last week. Loved the bobsled!!!! Swam at the pool and enjoyed the quiet skylift up and down. Our best day on Jamaica yet and we've been there 4 times.
Did you take the ship tour to Mystic Mountain or a tour guide on your own?
MM says on their website you have to book thru the cruise ship, do you????
The reason i'm asking is we are 6 people some want to bob sled, some zip and some just to walk around? What would be the best way for us to do this any sugestions?
-
Does the Breeze have the laser light show light the dream?
Sorry typo......
Does the Breeze have the laser light show like the dream?
-
Hi my question is for anyone who has sailed the Breeze with kids........
Does the camp anytime during the cruise take the kids to the 5D theatre for free?
Does the Breeze have the laser light show light the dream?
-
We recently sailed the liberty 2.0. If you want to see some of the upgrades in a fun way....check out this Youtube video of "La Cheapo" Flat Daddy's Liberty adventure. Guaranteed a few laughs!
-
Thanks. Enjoy the cruise. Use a Sony HD Handycam. Fits in a pocket so never far from the action.
-
THis year we brought "Flat Daddy". We got all the crew involved as well. Made for a great and memorable trip. Video highlights of the wacky things Flat Daddy did are below.
-
On our recent Liberty sailing one of the pax thought he was soo cool wearing a ridiculous captains hat all week long. At the end of the cruise we cought him schmoozing with the guests including us. Good for a laugh. See video below which includes his finale along with other great moments.

We were on DCL last March and they had a Bat-mitzvah on board a 3 day cruise that weekend. I decided then that was how we would do our son's. Did you get the info? The group was from a Hebrew Day school and they brought a mini torah and the education director from the school lead the ceremony. They had "services" on Fri night, Sat AM and the party Sat night. The father paid for all the immediate family, and the family of their best friends. The father invited the entire class and paid for every classmate but not their parents. If the parents wanted to go with their child they had to pay. I personally would not let my kid go at 13 without me. The group came from Tampa and the father rented a bus to drive everyone over and back from cape canaveral. I believe there were 70 people in the group. When I spoke with the kids, they said it was the best bat mitzvah they had ever been on and the paying parents said it was worth paying because they received the group rate. Hope that helps and please keep me updated on what you find out.
Thank you, that is the kind of info i was looking for. I still have a few years to plan, so i haven't really been doing to much. I have talked to family and friends, they are willing to pay their own way if we go with this idea. We are not looking for a hugh thing (keeping up with the Kleins), rather something small and meaningful and something my son will enjoy.
I did though finally talk to my aunt about the idea (she is Hasidic) We don't even have to have a rabbi at the service. We can have our own little service in a room his cousin (just graduated from a Yushivia) will oversee and have a private party afterwards.
Now the decision is what cruise line and where to. if we go on a weekend cruise alot more people will join us. If we go on an Alaska or European cruise it might just be immed family and very close friends. The kids like both ideas and keep going back and forth. Disney Dream or Europe????? I just don't know

If she does want to bring someone else the other option is a name change, there was a small fee when we did it.
