Flame-grilled burgers from Guy Fieri, a Mexican cantina and a NASA-inspired kids’ club are all part of the fare on Carnival Breeze, a Carnival Cruise Line ship launched in 2012 for the Caribbean. She sails round trips from Galveston in Texas and Port Canaveral in Florida, from week-long island runs to longer voyages deep into the eastern islands. When the family is busy, adults can retreat to Serenity, a pool deck kept for grown-ups only.

Most of the eating on Carnival Breeze is included in the fare, and her casual venues are what define her. Guy’s Burger Joint serves loaded, flame-grilled burgers from celebrity chef Guy Fieri, the kind of included lunch that keeps a sea day moving, and the BlueIguana Cantina brings fresh Mexican food in a lively setting. Three-course dinners every night are part of the fare too, relaxed rather than stuffy.
For a night that costs extra, she has several à la carte restaurants, and The Chef’s Table is the most intimate of them: it carries a charge and must be booked in advance, which makes it one to plan a special occasion around.
For an Australian traveller, the 12- and 14-night Caribbean round trips are the sailings that make the most of Carnival Breeze. Galveston and Port Canaveral both need a flight from Australia, so we book the flights, a hotel either side and the transfers with the cruise as one holiday. From Port Canaveral the 14-night voyages run in October, November, January and February; stops change between departures, but you might see St. Thomas, Bridgetown in Barbados, St. George’s in Grenada and Philipsburg in St. Maarten. From Galveston the 12- and 14-night voyages sail in October and January, and typical calls include Ocho Rios in Jamaica, Saint Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Kitts and Key West. You will find them among our Caribbean cruises in 2027.
She also runs 7-night Caribbean round trips from Port Canaveral in May, June and November, where ports vary but Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic, San Juan, Nassau and Half Moon Cay are among them. Her Western Caribbean sailings run 5 and 7 nights from Galveston in May, June, July, November and December, and 7 nights from Port Canaveral in April and August; typical calls include Cozumel, Progreso, Belize City and Mahogany Bay on Roatán.
Her sister ships include Carnival Dream and Carnival Magic, and the rest of the fleet is on our Carnival Cruise Line page.
Children aged 2–11 are well catered for on Carnival Breeze, with clubs included in the fare. Camp Ocean puts them into supervised, age-based groups for ocean-themed activities, while Space Cruisers adds hands-on, NASA-inspired play developed with Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, so a sea day can feel like a trip to the launch pad.
WaterWorks is where the whole family meets, built with real room to swim, splash and cool off in the sun, and it is included in the fare as well. Sailings like hers are gathered in our family cruises search.
Grown-ups have their own corner too. Serenity Adult-Only Retreat is a pool area for adults only, away from the busier decks and included in the fare. Cloud 9 Spa is free to wander, with treatments charged separately, and Alchemy Bar mixes bespoke cocktails, charged unless a beverage package covers them.
On a ship this busy, where your cabin sits matters as much as its type: near WaterWorks and the kids’ clubs, or closer to the quiet of Serenity. Her cabins and deck plans show what lies above and below each deck before you choose.
