toosaxykk Posted July 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hello fellow cruisers! I'm an addicted cruiser and blogger/ journalist who LOVES to cruise and then share my experiences with anyone and everyone! My husband and I took our 2 kids on their 3rd Carnival cruise aboard the Carnival Breeze in July 2017! DH and I have been on 10 other cruises prior to this one, 7 on Carnival, 2 on Royal Caribbean and 1 on Princess! We have sailed on both the Dream and the Magic prior to this cruise so we were excited to "complete" a full class of Carnival ships. We liked the Breeze better than the Dream or Magic but only slightly. The service on the Dream was the absolute BEST we have ever had on Carnival but the Breeze décor, food options (we sailed on the Magic prior to Guy's Pig and Anchor) as well as the staff and cruise director, Schwartz really set the Breeze above all of the rest! I like to blog and relive my cruise daily so I will be posting the blog in daily increments. I will also have a completely separate blog for all of the FOOD options (Breeze has the American Table Menu) which will include menus and pictures. In addition, I will be posting the scans of all of the FunTimes and Camp Ocean activities! I truly hope this helps some of y'all out there planning your upcoming cruise and help some of y'all relive your past time on the Breeze! I greatly appreciate your support and hope this helps! If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to ask! Happy Sailing Y'all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toosaxykk Posted July 31, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Here is our day in Cozumel! My husband had to be in a wheelchair due to his foot injury and Carnival took GREAT care of us! If you have any questions about cruising with SPECIAL needs, lots of answers here! We went to paradise beach due to Mr. Sanchos being fully booked but we still had an AMAZING day! It was HOT and we got burnt but that's how memories are made! Lots of tips and tricks for Cozumel! http://chrisandkelliedavis.blogspot.com/2017/07/breezing-through-summer-cozumel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toosaxykk Posted August 1, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted August 1, 2017 BELIZE- This is not our favorite port by any means but we always find FUN! We originally planned to go Cave Tubing but due to my DH broken foot, we could not so we were just going to hang out on the ship. But the kids would have none of that! They wanted to go and explore so off we went! We found this awesome small company that gave us a very private BOAT tour of Belize City, the river and surrounding areas. It was so much fun and we learned so much! The current back to the harbor was... REFRESHING! #CruiselikeaDavis #CarnivalBreeze #BreezingThroughSummer I hope this helps some of y'all planning upcoming cruises or trips! I love to blog about our experiences. Thank you so much for following along! http://chrisandkelliedavis.blogspot.com/2017/07/breezing-through-summer-belize.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy7 Posted August 1, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thanks! Loved reading it and seeing the photos! Do you know if all Carnival ships have the Thrill Theater???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMama2003 Posted August 2, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Thanks! Loved reading it and seeing the photos! Do you know if all Carnival ships have the Thrill Theater????

toosaxykk Posted August 2, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Thanks! Loved reading it and seeing the photos! Do you know if all Carnival ships have the Thrill Theater???? The Thrill Theater is only on the Breeze and Vista CLASS ships! It is totally worth it and I really wish we would have done it early instead of late in our cruise! Thanks again for following along!

toosaxykk Posted August 2, 2017 Author #17 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Mahogany Bay, Roatan- This is one of my FAVORITE ports and easily THE best port in the Western Caribbean. My hubby and I love it and the convenience of the beach to the ship is PERFECT! PLUS, we had a late night which included the best entertainment CCL has to offer... The Love and Marriage show and The Quest! WE LOVE THE QUEST but have found that it is up to the cruise director if it is done. Schwartz did a REMARKABLE job on this and we loved it! Plus we treated ourselves and went to the 555 Fahrenheit Steakhouse! This was our second time to eat here and we LOVED! Some of the best $70 ever spent on a ship! Once again, I greatly appreciate y'all following along! I love cruising and blogging and I hope that our experiences and pictures can help some of y'all with planning! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask! Thanks again! http://chrisandkelliedavis.blogspot.com/2017/07/breezing-through-summer-roatan.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toosaxykk Posted August 3, 2017 Author #21 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Sea Day #2- We love sea days and try to do and see it all! That is quite difficult on these larger ships but we did our best!

toosaxykk Posted August 3, 2017 Author #22 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Also, you can view any of our most recent blogs as well. The Dream especially is nearly identical. Especially the food! The American Table menus were 95% the same. The FunTimes were also very similar. Here is the link to the FULL Dream blog but you can navigate through any of the 10 other blogs on the side of the webpage and most are linked within the daily posts. I know some of y'all are sailing soon so I hope this helps! http://chrisandkelliedavis.blogspot.com/2017/04/living-dream-carnival-dream-2017.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toosaxykk Posted August 4, 2017 Author #23 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Sea Day #3- It was a RAIN OUT but we still managed to have a great time! I am a firm believer in "A cruise is what you make of it" and we chose to not let the rain ruin our cruise! Instead, we danced in the rain! http://chrisandkelliedavis.blogspot.com/2017/08/breezing-through-summer-sea-day-3.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
