Carnival Breeze Vacation Day 2


Bon Voyage

Everyone has successfully made it onto the ship and we have sailed off into the sunset

The Breeze is one of Carnivals newest ships. This magnificent 130,000 ton vessel was put into service in 2012.  Despite this there are numerous issues that I wouldn’t have expected on such a new ship.  Example:  The light fell off the wall in one of our guest’s room.  The safe didn’t seem to work until I  finally found a steward to explain the operating procedures which should have been inside the safe.

  This is not your typical “Vegas party design” ship. For this interior Carnival hired Partner Ship Design so the layout seems to be more airy and lighter with pastel colours rather than Carnivals normally gaudy colours.  In the buffet section of the ship they made the seating area more spacious while the walking areas from the buffet to the seating areas are narrower hence, you’re bumping into people with your hands laden with food.

Since we are sailing over Thanksgiving there are a lot of multi-generational families on board.  This also means there are a lot of children running about the ship. Unfortunately Carnival does not have a curfew for those under 18 like many other cruise lines so the youth seem to be running around the ship at all time of day and night with no supervision
 
Not to worry , we won't let that disrupt our vacation. The mandatory muster drill is now done in the conference room with a video. I will admit it is nice not to have to stand around on the open deck wearing a bulky lifevest pressed together like sardines in a can
