I'm sorry to hear that. The pictures are still enjoyable. I hope there is a simple fix for your camera.

I'm enjoying your review as always. What IS that nightly treat of yours ? Is that a chocolate cup ??? Looks yummy.

 

I've never asked but I'm sure you can explain. Just what does the Pilot Boat do ? Do they just act as a guide for the captain ?

 

Anxious to read the rest and enjoy more of your pictures. You show things we never did see on the Breeze in March so that makes your review even more enjoyable.

Hi Delta Dear. They are Fresh Fruit Chocolate Cups.

YES

Tracy Arielle and I went for breakfast on the Lido deck. Mitch was not interested in coming to today’s excursion. First you get all the ingredients.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then you make a breakfast bagel sandwich

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our arrival in Aruba was at 8 am and we disembarked at 8:30 am.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pier shops

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We took a taxi to Moomba Beach where Jolly Pirates is located. Moomba Beach is located next to the well-known Eagle Beach and Palm Beach. There was 5 of us in the taxi and the cost for the three of us was $12.

The Jolly Pirates gift shop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They have three different Jolly Pirates tours starting at different times of the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They all include the same things with the exception of the morning tour which also includes a BBQ lunch. The tour included sail, swim and snorkeling at three great sites; Malmok, Boca Catalina and the WW2 shipwreck Antilla. Also included are your snorkeling equipment, an open bar and a BBQ lunch consisting of Chicken Kebabs, Ribs, Pasta Salad, Cole Slaw, Fried Banana, Sliced Watermelon and Rolls. I got the idea for the Jolly Pirates Excursion from Chris and Cassandra (Anung Un Rama) review. Check it out, a very good Breeze B2B review.

 

This particular tour operates daily from 9:30 am – 1:30 pm. The price is $57 per person. If you book online they offer a 12% discount or you can obtain an online coupon like I did at ‘Nights Publications Aruba’ for $10 off per couple. I believe this coupon comes out to approximately 9% off the $57 price and you don’t have to pre-pay and risk losing your money.

I've really enjoyed reading your review. I didn't know very much about the Breeze before it but it looks like a great ship. Is the barbeque restaurant free? Is the library bar an actual bar with a lending library? I've never seen it written about before. I've seen that some ships have small lending "libraries". A lending library with a bartender sounds like fun!

Yet another great review! I am looking forward to the rest of it. We had to choose between Breeze or Sunshine for our cruise this Spring and because of the week we are sailing, we ended up choosing the Sunshine (8 days vs. 6 days) but will hopefully get to go on the Breeze in the Fall.

How did you enjoy the snorkeling in Aruba?

 

We did the same tour you did, but we met up with the Pirate ship later, that sure did look like a fun tour, too.
