While cruise ships are an impressive feat of engineering as it is, the Breeze (as it’s affectionately called by passengers) blew me away completely in terms of size. At over 1000 feet long and with capacity for 5000 guests and crew, it’s a veritable floating city. As the Breeze is one of Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ships (its inaugural sail date was in mid-2012) our room was spacious and modern. Even better, it came equipped with not only an ocean view, but a balcony from which to enjoy it.
The other thing that impressed me greatly was how ardently the cleaning staff worked to ensure that the rooms and overall premises were spic and span. Housekeeping came by not less than two times a day to tidy rooms, make beds, and refresh towels. Somehow, they also managed to gift Liebling and I with the cutest towel sculptures ever. Every evening we entered the room we looked forward to seeing what towel creature they would come up with next.
