Carnival Breeze | Embarkation Day 

I was just off the Celebration with my hubby and it was ridiculously packed and turned me off of Carnival, then I received a free Casino cruise, so I thought I’ll give them one more try, thank goodness I did, because it totally made up for the Celebration and redeemed my faith in Carnival! I’m sorry yours was so crowded, It really can make or break a cruise:(

@@dawnsdorkydiary5655 Thanks. My cruise wasn't too crowded. I just miss those 2021 and 2022 half-capacity cruises. LOL!

@@merytsitmaat9308 I do too!

It did! It was bizarre how dead it felt! The ship was our oyster 🦪

Enjoy your cruise!

parking@portofgalveston.com or 409-766-6163 The CLOSEST secured garage parking to the Cruise Ships We used the parking garage close to the ship! It was well organized and I was able to park on the first floor.

As far as hotels! I used my IHG points and we stayed for free at the Holiday Inn & Suites on Seawall Blvd, next to the Spot Restaurant and close to Pleasure Pier and only a few minutes from the cruise port! ( I could see it from my hotel)

I’m sorry😢 ! I loved the boat and the size, but, size inevitably brings more peeps.. It just felt crowded to me. I went July 30, 23 with my hubby. (Vlog coming soon) There were significant lines for pizza and the deli, at all times of the day and Guy’s Burger Joint. Buffet was hard to find a seat. We opted in for room service more than usual, just to not have to hunt for seats. We had an obnoxious neighbor who played loud music on his balcony and yelled to other cabin mates. Out of all the cruises we’ve taken, it was just one thing after another. People sitting on the stairs and not moving. A fight in the buffet one afternoon, which rerouted us to another side of ship to eat. Positives - Beautiful ship, great staff, love the rooms and decor. It also felt spacious, clean and very deliberately detailed. Relax, I think it was just an anomaly and you’re going to have a fantastical vacay!

I just uploaded our balcony cabin room tour on the Carnival Celebration!
