CRUISE LIFE VLOG: Carnival Breeze: Boarding the Ship & Setting Sail - Day 1 Part 1
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 08. 2024
- The time has finally arrived! We are in Galveston, TX and we are boarding the Carnival Breeze!!! It has been a year since our last cruise and we are beyond excited!!! Carnival has changed the embarkation process and it is much smoother. We were actually at the port about 45 minutes early and thought we would have to sit and wait but they told us to go ahead and board. It was fantastic, we were on board and unpacked in our room by 12:15!!! And about this room.... ths is the first cruise where we stayed in a Deluxe Oceanview Cabin, we actually had two connecting cabins. They wree fantastic and had so much room... and two bathrooms each!
After getting settled, we head up to Lido for some lunch. We decide on the Mongolian Wok and remember that it is always worth the wait, the food is so good! We wander and explore until it is time for the muster drill which is always such an exciting part of the cruise... it was funny to see the boys who could barely sit still they were so excited! Finally it was time for the sail away party! This is always al lot of fun and sets the tone for the fun adventure to come in the rest of the week!

Great vlog and oh my goodness those boys are growing up so fast! Y'all looked wonderful... Can't wait for more!!!
Thanks so much! Yes, they are growing up too fast... I need a pause button!
I was on that same cruise ship 2 weeks after yall!!! I was sitting here watching and I realized that voice sounded familiar the cruise ship director. He was great
You guy are such a beautiful, fun family.❤️
Love the bath tub rooms! Glad you had fun!!
They were fantastic! Everyone could get ready at the same time 👍. We had a wonderful cruise!
Great vlog cant wait for the next one. Your door decorations are always 👍🏽👌🏽
Thanks so much Tia!!!
Thank you thank you for uploading your Cruise vacations. I've never been on a Cruise and I really want to go on one, I travel vicariously through you 😊. You give me an idea of what a cruise would be like, what to expect and what to do. You guys are great.
Awe you are so sweet! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos, we are having a lot of fun making them! I hope you get on a cruise ship very soon!!!
You guys always look like you're having fun. Love your videos.
I've been watching all your cruise vlogs and they're making me soooooo excited to go on the Breeze for my birthday this summer!!!
Happy early birthday! I hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise!
I want you to know that I subscribe to and watch quite a few cruise tips, vlogs, etc. By far, yours is the absolute best all way around! I love the way you present the info in your vlogs. The vlogs are well done and not only informative, but fun to watch. You make a person feel like one of the family traveling with you!! VERY NICE JOB AND WELL DONE! My husband and I took an overnight crusie to the Bahamas probably 20 years ago. In November 2018, we will be taking our first 7 day cruise to the Western Caribbean on the Carnival Glory. Thanks so much for the newsletters and vlogs! Keep them coming!!
Jan thank you so much for the kind words, you are too sweet! We truly enjoy making these videos and have become comfortable talking around the camera so we are completely ourselves. I hope you have a wonderful time on the Glory and I’m so glad our videos are helping you get excited 😊
Catching up on some of your old videos I haven’t seen yet. Since we cruise out of Galveston mostly it peeked my interest.
Thanks for making my Sunday complete! Love you guys vlogs!!! :)
So glad you enjoyed it! Happy Sunday 😀
we are going on our first , oct 14th 5 day to Bahamas . I am so excited I could bust and I'm just as nervous. We are trying a balcony .I try to watch all your videos , its hard to keep up with yall lol
Mongolian Wok is amazing and I love your room. Mmm(in my Homer Simpson voice) Carrot Cake
Wok is one of our favorites!!! Oh yes.. and the carrot cake!!! The room was great, we were pleasantly surprised!
Binge watching your Breeze cruise. Leaving out soon.
I can't believe it. We were actually on this cruise with ya'll. We had splurged because our Cruise the previous year had been canceled due to the hurricane and floods. We had an aft corner cabin on deck 7. Our oldest son had the interior room across from us, but we all used our balcony. It was pricy but a memory of a lifetime. We did two hours of the sailaway from our balcony. It was the best cruise of our lives. Little French Key on Roatan was awesome. We snorkeled on the back side of the pristine reef. Xinuntunich in Belize was also a fantastic excursion. We will be on the Freedom to Key West and Bahamas on 4/6/2019. I hope to see you all some day.
Oh that is too cool that we were on the same cruise! Have a wonderful time on the Freedom.
I love you guys so much and I love your videos and I hope you keep going on cruises so I can see more of this awesome content!!!❤️❤️
Hey Mike! Don’t worry we plan on cruising forever so we’ll never run out of videos 🛳🛳
I love that the muster drill is inside and everyone is seated. I’ve done cruises and they made us stand outside in the heat. If you are early/ on time you end up with a lot of people standing in front of you and it’s so hot 😫. I learned my lesson and go after the last call so I can be in front of the line and feel air!
Yes, I have been on both and it is sooooo much nicer to have it indoors! I think all of the larger ships do this because they can't fit 4K+ people on those decks comfortably but I wish they all would!
I see you were able to take a small suitcase with the case of sodas on top through the embarkation process. Easy breezy I see! Lol
Yes, we have done this on the last few cruises and it’s perfect. We go through easy and have everything we need 👍
You guys should go on the Carnival Vista next! It is so amazing!
We will be on the Vista next Spring Break 👍👍👍
St. Patrick’s Day???
I've been on the vista and really didn't think much of it its over crowded and you miss the wow factor when you walk onto a ship! there is a line for almost everything including the bathroom from time to time and the place you go to see the comedy show was way too small for the size of the ship so lots of times you cant get in. The best part of the ship was Matt Michum the CD he was awesome as always and his crew did a awesome job
Since you never done a balcony before. 3 words . You’ll love it!!! Will be sailing on the Breeze out of Port Canaveral Fl this coming Nov 2018 on a 14 day Journeys Cruise. I can’t wait because I get to go back to St.Lucia again .Ist time sailing on the Breeze and I’m sure I’ll love it. I sailed on the Carnival Sunshine a few times along with the Carnival Vista last August 2017. I’m so pumped for this Cruise. Can’t get here soon enough !!!
That’s what I am afraid of that we will never be able to do anything else!!!! I would love to do a longer Journeys cruise one day. It will be amazing!
About to be on my first cruise next Sunday. Woohoo!!! I really like watching your videos.
How exciting!!! Hope you have a wonderful time 🛳🛳🛳
I absolutely love watching y’alls videos! My fiancé and I are going on the breeze! We can’t wait!
Thanks so much Brandon! You will have a wonderful time on the Breeze!
EECC Travels we are leaving out in August!!
Yay thanks for uploading this video!! I’m going on the breeze in July!
Hope you like it! There will many many more to come!!!
So am I July 5th to the 14th!
I heard their moving the vista to galveston 😆Right where i live
They sure are in September!! So excited!
will the breeze be in Galveston too?
Pamela, the Vista is taking the Breeze's place in Galveston and it is going to Port Canaveral. The Dream is moving to Galveston but I can't remember exactly when, it is a bit later.
Why didn’t u film the elevators and why did u edit it
Your videos are so great! I am going on my first cruise next year and the videos have been so helpful and fun to watch
Hey Melody! I’m so glad our videos are helping you get excited for your cruise 🛳
Melody M exactly, so helpful right! Bungee cording the cases of sodas to your carry on..great tip. I learned something new just by watching. I was going to actually pack them IN the carry on..LOL after all the videos, forums etc. I have watched that has been the best..thank you.
Thanks so much Elizabeth! I am glad we are helping :)
We were just on that ship Feb 25 !! We were on the ship within 1/2 hour of arriving at port ...We have never boarded that quickly ..I was impressed.Enjoy your cruise!!
It was great! They have really gotten the embarkation down!!!
This has me so excited..24 more days! You guys drove thru my hometown on the coast, Crystal Beach 🙂
Yay! 24 is days is so exciting! Well you live nice and close to Galveston then, it's beautiful down there!
You two make some cute boys. Carnival Breeze was my first cruise in 2011-12
We were there a day before you guys, and they also let us board the ship early! It was amazing!
I was so excited! They have gotten way more efficient at embarkation!
I love the way everyone is pretty much sleeping through the safety meeting lol
I noticed that too!
Thank you so much for this video. I had no clue I could bring on a case of Red Bull. I ordered 4 monster energy drinks from Carnival funshop for $20. I called them so fast to cancel my order. The money will be back on my card soon. I couldn't believe it. All the videos I watch always talk about sodas being allowed.Thanks again! I love watching your videos.
Gald to help! Just make sure they are 12oz or less. Have a wonderful cruise 😉
Did anybody else see the little girl that got stepped on @ 19:08 ! Poor her lmao
No, I didn't see that
I watched the cruise before this and then I turned to watch this one. I was like "what!?!? The babies grew up in like 2 seconds!" My inner mom is coming out it goes by like a blink of an eye!
I know!!! They grow up way too fast!! I love going back and watching the early videos to see how much they have changed as they have grown.
surprised that ya'll have never had a balcony. I won't sail without a balcony room. I think you will absolutely love it.
It has always been a price thing with a family of five. We have a balcony booked for November so we’ll see... 😀
I get an awesome balcony with my ocean view stateroom! It’s called the lido deck!
What ship in November?
My son has the same green lantern and flash shirts and lives Jello and ice cream. Your kids are cute.
I would recommend the behind the fun tour because you get to meet the captain and you get to meet the engineers who run the ship 🛳 HAVE FUN 👍🏻🎉
I will have to look into that sometime. I had heard about it but never really thought much about looking into it.
YAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG I AM SO EXCITED!!!
I hope you enjoyed it! There are lots more videos to come 😀
its awesome that you guys got an upgrade I hope I get an upgrade on my next cruise, my last cruise was so stressful for me I was at sea longer than expected with my mom during Hurricane Harvey and the port of Galveston was close so dad promise me that whenever we go it will be a better experience for me, so I hope he will get me a oceanview room
Check back frequently with your PVP or travel agent! Sometimes they are offered but often you have to check for yourself. We called in and were offered the upgrade, it was great! So sorry you had a rough cruise due to Harvey!
Going March 24th from Port Everglades! Very exciting! Cheers!
I love you guys! You are such a cute couple.
i agree!
Awe thank you 😊
I was on the breeze March 1 loved having lee as our cruise director
I will be on here on the 13 of May... I'm so ready.. have fun
You’ll love it, it’s such a fun ship 🛳
EECC Travels I cruise twice a year.. I know the excitement, I'm so ready
Diva on the Move (R.Wade) that's my birthday week and I remember I went on a cruise on my birthday week and have a great time
I almost forgot about the great Sail Away that were always on my past Carnival Cruises. I have not sailed with Carnival since 2007, sailing RCCL and NCL since. Neither of them have sail away parties to the scale of Carnival! Looking forward to my Breeze cruise in 2019!
Awe man, we are sailing with NCL for the first time in November... I will miss the sail away! You will love the Breeze, such a fun ship!!!
Classy taste in music!!!
Thanks 😉
My family is going on Carnival Splendor in late June 2019. I really hope I meet amazing people like you. I'm 20 so it's gonna be intresting trying to find stuff to do.
Hi guys,
We have tried them all on Carnival. All have their own special coolness to them. We honestly prefer the Inside Cabins. Nothing beats that darkness when you want it. I'll go see the light and awesome ocean scenery on deck.
Until this cruise we had always stayed in an interior and loved it. They offered us the upgrade so we thought we would give it a try. It was really nice but I know what you mean about the darkness... I had to pin the curtains closed at night!
I love the great sleep you get in an interior room 💖 just bliss 😍
We’ve only been on one cruise but it was a Disney Cruise so it was pretty awesome! Haha Yours looks amazing, too! We may have to try more cruises. :) :)
Yes, try more! We have only cruised Carnival so far but are branching out this year to try Norwegian. I would love to try all of the cruise lines!
Awesome cabin!!! Muster Station is boring but may be needed.
At this point I really miss the Muster Drill!!
Yayyyyy! Ya'll make me so excited. I'm going on my 1st cruise in November on the Valor.
Glad to get you excited! Be prepared to get addicted to cruising 🛳🛳🛳
EECC Travels I know!!! 😀
Yes it does love it
I'm glad yall went in april
Love your videos, you guys are so cute. We are going on the Breeze in November for 14 days and have been on it before. Loved the ship. So far it is the favorite of all the Carnival Ships we've been on. We've never been on a ship twice before so but going on the Journey's cruise so it's more about the ports this time. Can't wait. Looks like your having a great time. You know the only bad thing about a ocean view room it's hard to go back. We got upgraded once from a ocean view to a balcony once and now its balcony all the way. lol
Oh I would loooove to go on a 14 day! Those long cruises have amazing ports! The Breeze is fantastic and I could definitely sail on her again. I know what you mean about the upgrade, we loved the Oceanview! We have a balcony booked in November so....
EECC Travels Oh no you’ve done it now. Lol. You will love it. So nice that you live close to a port to be able to go again. Where are you going in Nov?
I know, I am scared we won't be able to go back after having a balcony! The Norwegian Breakaway is moving to NOLA and we're on the first cruise out :) So excited!!
Balconies are so nice I know you'll love it. That's cool we have never been on the Norwegian before just RCL and Princess look forward to watching your vlog and see how you like it!! On our cruise in November we are going a bit early and I have never been to Disneyland or Disneyworld so enjoying your videos on that and have learned so much. Not sure how much we will see in the short time we have but will be there for Halloween for sure.
Hey you guys went after my week on the cruise
I hope you had as much fun as we did!!!
We will be going in October Halloween. Did they have costume parties? I love watching your vlogs. We will be with a group of 10 so I'm sure it will be fun!
Just subscribed! Great family. Our first cruise is in August🍍🌴🛳🌊99 days away!♡
Hi Elizabeth! I am so glad you found us!!! Wow a first cruise is so exciting!!!
Hope you guys have a great time
We had a wonderful time!!! Such a fun ship :)
U recorded so well
Thank you!
It’s cruise director Lee on this ship. We sailed with him on the Dream 9/2018. He is the best cruise director. The Breeze looks amazing.
Mongolian wok lines were always so long. But it sure was real good we would put some rice on it too.....oh my I need to go on another cruise. The wife wants to go on a 14 day Alaska cruise is next.
Oooh, an Alaskan cruise will be great! We are looking to do one next year!!
Yay carnival,my whole life I've been to carnival only and it's better that Royal Caribbean
Myenta Bartlett sorry Myenta, but I have to disagree with you. In my opinion, Royal Caribbean is better. Personally, Royal Caribbean seems to have more class and is more formal and just better. Carnival seems to be more about having fun, which is fine, but they seem to be more about the fun and less about the actual cruise I guess. Carnival seems more playful and RC seems more classy and is more fun for me than Carnival. This is just my opinion.
Awesome. I’m going on the carnival dream on the 6th May out of New Orleans for 7 days
Fantastic! Have a wonderful time!!! Say hi to Lee, he was the cruise director with us on the Breeze, but he is on the Dream now :)
I love sail away party the best time to eat more food and enjoy the first day watching movies on the big screen tv on lido Deck at night and going to shows every night club drinking wine which I'll be doing and liquor and walking and enjoying the ship cruise is life changing experience
Yes, the sail away party just gets you exited for all the fun to come!
Boarding the ecstasy in 2 hours!!!!!! First cruise for me and my boyfriend!!!!
Have a wonderful cruise!!!
EECC Travels oh I did. I boarded that ship with a boyfriend and got off with a fiancé😍😍
Nice video I love it 224 days away from my cruise on MSC Divina on December 9 thru Dec 20th
We will keep you cruise entertained until it’s time for you to sail 🛳
3:25 yes they made it so much better
The Aft is the best!!! On the Getaway go for the 12th deck....but we only cruise once a year. May be prohibitive price wise if you cruise often.
I really hope we run into each other one day on a cruise lol! Luv your videos and u guys r so funny
That would be great! I am so glad you're enjoying the videos :)
I love boarding day it's the best day 224 days away for my cruise in December on MSC Divina Dec 9 thru Dec 20th I pack a week before my embarkation boarding day but I'm counting down the days until Dec
Love your vlogs! During the muster drill, I recognized the voice of the Cruise Director! That was Lee! Best cruise director I have had on any cruise! You can find him on Facebook as Lee Your Cruise Director
Lee is fantastic! I already follow him on Facebook and I saw he made a great announcement that he is getting a permanent ship, I am so happy for him! We sat down and interviewed him while on this cruise... so look out for that video :)
I'll be looking out for the video!
I enjoyed the video
My husband and I just booked our next cruise for next April!!!. This will be my 6th cruise😁😁😁
Exciting!!! We always cruise in April, the best weather!
We are still going on carnival breeze on October 10th 2020 , to st Martin, st kitts, San Juan & grand Turk - 8 days eastern Caribbean / out of Fort Lauderdale & my 1st platinum carnival cruise & Halloween season fun on carnival cruise 😊😊🎉🎃🎃👻👻
Can I adopt Cameron? I know I probably spelled his name wrong, sorry 🤔. He’s such a good kid and I love his green luggage. Lol
My grandson is 14 and boys are so silly at that age.🙄😊
I'm so stoked! I'm looking into taking a cruise on this ship next March for spring break. It's going to be a graduation celebration sort of thing with my sister and her friends, since I'll be graduating from university, and my sister and her friends from high school. We've been planning this for a few months now, and it'll be mine and my sisters 3rd cruise in 5 years, so we're hoping everything all works out!
Sounds like a great plan! This was Ethan and his friend Cameron’s graduation trip and they met so many people their age! It was great for them! You will all have a wonderful time!
Brooke Rinicker we are a lot older than you, but we will be sailing on the Breeze March 23, 2019.
Darlene Howard My spring break is the first full week of March, so we'd be going on the March 2nd-9th, so unfortunately a different week than you would be, but I hope you have a great time!
Could you tell me where you bought your bungee cord and how many inches long are they? Thanks...love your videos
I got them at Dollar Tree. They have a pack of three different sizes. So I bought four packs and have six sets.
Great Blog... How old are the boys?
Thank you! Ethan and his friend Cameron just graduated high school, our twins Cameron and Colby are 14.
We booked our carnival breeze for October 10th 2020 / back in December 26 2019. / we always like to book on lido deck balcony
I'm with your son. The ice Cream is the best.
He had soooo much ice cream on this cruise.... well to be honest on every cruise!
I know it sounds mean, but I really wanted the ice cream machine to say Out of Order just to see Cameron's response! Then it could have magically been fixed :)
He would have run around to find another one. He must have his ice cream 😂
Great video. Why wouldn't you like an ocean view room as opposed to an interior?! I've had only one interior and really didn't like it. A balcony room is great, but if you're traveling with other people, you can't beat two bathrooms in the stateroom. I'm booked on the Breeze for the second time in March 2019 and we have a Deluxe Ocean View. I prefer balconies, but we'll see how it works out.
I agree with a previous comment, you all seem like a family who really has fun and makes the most of your cruise. The ship doesn't look terribly crowded. Was it? We normally cruise Norwegian but you all have me wanting to try Carnival.
Thank you so much! The ship was sailing full but it is laid out well where we never felt cramped. We are sailing with NCL for the first time in November, we’re really excited!
We’ll be on the Vista next Spring Break too!!
I’m so excited the Vista is moving to Galveston!!!
Me too!!!
Liberty of the Seas sailing right behind you and port of Galveston never been there is it a great port to sail out of
Yes we were with Liberty all the way to Cozumel :)
I'd love that a lot
But port of Miami is my favorite port to sail out of for all my cruises
