Can someone confirm? Breeze = bigger Ecstasy?

[SpeedsterX]

I am going on the Breeze for the first time this March ad I was browsing some of the Breeze reviews and noticed that the Breeze has the exact same layout as the smaller Ecstasy. Is this correct? I have been on the Ecstasy twice last year and very familiar with her. It seems like all the dining rooms, bars, shops, atrium, everything seems to be in the exact same places as on the Ecstasy except different names. Am I crazy or is this correct?

Most of Carnival ships have similar layouts - restaurant locations, etc - but as others have already said they are quite different in offerings and experiences available.

It looks like you have been on the Dream before... the Breeze is like the Dream, just with some minor differences. Not like the Ecstasy at all.

Excellent observation!

 

Yes - OP...think more about the Dream - it's a "sister ship" to the Breeze.

They are technically sister ships, so it will be very easy to get around the Breeze. On Breeze, some things got moved into different places (steakhouse, basketball court, elimination of a lounge, shrunk the comedy club), but it will be very familiar. Breeze added in a 4D theater on deck 4, at an extra cost. Breeze toned down the decor, which is praised around these boards, but I prefer flashy crazy decor when on vacation. I've got enough toned down decor all around me in my home town. Breeze's waterpark is a little different, but just as good as Dream's. Breeze added in a ropes course above the mini golf, which was shrunk down to 9 holes. Part of a higher deck was eliminated on Breeze, and a few more staterooms were added. Breeze has Guys burgers, Blue Iguana cantina, and the Red Frog Pub that Dream doesn't have. Breeze has much much worse entertainment in the theater. Breeze changed the indoors part of the lido buffet area, with a lot of walls & sections, creating extra bottlenecks at busy times. They also use those super-slick floors, so watch your step. All things considered, I prefer Dream, but the Breeze is still good.

The Breeze is the newest Carnival ship

[near the beach]

The Breeze has more decks of passengers cabins which equals a lot more passengers on board.

The Dream had much better shows in the main show lounge. Other than that we would pick the Breeze over the Dream.
