Creator's Key Takeaways

I recently had a sailing on the Carnival Breeze. And so today I'm sharing you the highs and the lows so that you can decide if it's the right ship for you.

This is not sponsored at all. These are all my opinions from me taking a cruise and I paid for that cruise in combination with casino credits.

The entertainment and the fun atmosphere. I do truly believe Carnival does great.

The cleanliness and the maintenance of this ship, Carnival, y'all have to do better.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan around peak times to avoid crowds and wait times at food venues.
Bring cleaning wipes to tidy up your room if you notice maintenance issues.
