    I am looking forward to 2013 when I will have a chance to sail on here at some point!

    My friends all ask me why I keep loyal to Carnival when I have never tried any other line….simply, I enjoy myself so much, why mess with it!

  6. Cheria says:

    Great video John. Can’t wait to get a good look at her ! Thank you for all you do.

    Thanks for the clip, John. We’re sailing on the inaugural and are anxious to see and learn more about the Carnival Breeze. Keep the updates coming….

    John:

    Your description reminded me of the feeling that I get when a cool summer’s breeze blows over me on a warm day.

    Or that first fall breeze that lets you know that soon it will be time for hot chocolate and bonfires.

    Both are delightful feelings!

    Hola, John! Long time since we last wrote to you…We wanted to tell you that the Breeze is looking very, very beautiful! Congratulations to the whole Carnival family! We look forward to sailing on her.

    What at you doing with Micky Arison’s hard hat on? You better watch out! We are only kidding!

    We want to wish Kye a Happy Birthday…we know that her birthday is coming up and we’ll be in Europe on that day and we don’t want to forget congratulating her and her marvelous parents. Happy B’day Kye! We are leaving this Sat., Apr. 7th on the Grand Princess on a 25 day reposition cruise to Europe. The ship leaves from Pt. Everglades and we’ll disembark in Vigo, Spain Apr. 30 instead of disembarking in Southampton, England on May 2, which is the end of the cruise itinerary. We have family in Vigo and we wish to visit with them for a few days and then continue traveling thru Spain by train for a few more days. Unfortunately, on May 12 the vacation is over and we’ll fly back to Miami from Madrid. We are not looking forward to the flying part!

    Warmest regards to you and Heidi & a big hug & kiss to Kye for ther special day!

    • Maria and Juan, my DH Bob and I will be sailing with you on the First leg of the TA on the Grand Princess. Hope to meet up with you. While a lovely ship, the Grand will not be as Grand and the Carnival Breeze, but, we will make do.

      • Maria & Juan Santana says:

        Hello Mary Ann & Bob! What a nice coincidence that we’ll be sailing on the Grand Princess tomorrow 4/7! Sorry, I didn’t read your reply to my msge. until now, that’s why I didn’t answer your msge. before. We’ve sailed on the Grand before & although she is not new or as beautiful as the Breeze will be, it has 1 or 2 heated pools, and believe me, we appreciate that! (I’m 66 & Juan is 69.)Most of the pools on the newer ships are not heated. We’ll be on the look out for you guys! By the way, are you also from South Florida? Thank you for your msge. & I hope you read mine before embarking tomorrow!

    I’ll let that ‘Micky’ fellow know you found his hardhat. I’ve met him once or twice; interesting how you both have the same hat size. Glad you identified those hanging lights. At first glance I thought I was seeing assorted salami like those found hanging in a good deli market. I really must eat before I watch your blog tours. Hmmm, ‘morning apparel’, scivvies or bloomers, boxers or briefs….. never mind. Have a good day!!

  13. Helene Barness says:

    Can’t wait to see more!

  14. Terri says:

    I am so excited about the Carnival Breeze! We just booked our cruise to sail on her on January 5, 2013 – can’t hardly wait!!!

  15. I can’t wait John to be on board the Carnival Breeze and seeing you again. I was on the Carnival Dream with you and now the Carnival Breeze with you again. I’m a very special person to have that opportunity my friend. I wish it was January 19, 2013. See you then John.

  18. Chris says:

  19. Janice Martin says:

  20. Renee says:

    John love the pictures of the Carnival Breeze can’t wait til March 2013 to board her. Thanks for the videos.

  21. Vera Feldman says:

    I can’t believe how beautiful those hanging lights are. Can’t wait to sail on the Breeze in January. What a treat to get a preview thanks to John.

  22. Linda Hernacki says:

    Hi John, When will the new itinerary be up fo 2013 for the Breeze. We want to book for June 2013. We will have 15-20 people going.

  23. Just the few minutes you shared with us in the Carnival Breeze Atrium, shows me that although I have sailed on 32 cruises, this unfinished ship is the most beautiful. As we sail in January, I can’t wait to see more. Thank you John and Mr. Hair.

  24. Tom Breault says:

    Hello John The breeze looks great looking forward to booking her, was on the Magic and That was awsome as well love Carnival.

  25. Joyce Loomis says:

    so far the Breeze looks grand!!! We’ve sailed on the Dream as our biggest ship….we tend to like the smaller ships tho….

    • Rick Williamson says:

      Yea, we sailed on Carnival Dream about 6 months after she came to Florida. I don’t know, it just didn’t feel new by then. There was already some rust on our balconey. We love anytime we are on a Carnival ship (like starting this coming Monday’s cruise). But do like the 110,000 ton ships better. But Breeze seems to have all the great ideas put on one ship. Just wish they had none this with the other 2 Dream Class ships. Cause the odds are we will not be sailing out of Breezes home port.

  26. Carol Myers says:

    Beautiful no other words needed.

  27. Joe Smith says:

    Hi John,
    Thanks for the update on the Breeze. Looks like a great ship to try out. Just one thing though is carnival has to get you your own hard hat. Have a great day my friend

  28. Joe Mingoia says:

    Who is Micky Arison?

  29. Donna McAfee says:

    WOW! SO exciting to see! We fly out 8 weeks from tomorrow for the Inaugural sailing on June 3rd out of Venice!!!! Now, I REALLY can’t wait! See you in Italy! Ciao!

  30. Jason says:

    232 days and counting until we’re on board for the inaugural US sailing on Thanksgiving day. Can’t wait!!!

  31. Ruth Jamison says:

    Long time no see my friend. Your name came up in some Facebook comments re:Paul Cabading who is currently on the Liberty. Paul is really a super person. We met him last summer when we did back to backs on the Liberty. I am having some health issues and Paul was very kind to us. He has stayed in touch and wanted to know how things were going.
    I saw a note about Heidi going to a back specialist in London. Sorry she is having issues with her back. How is the baby? Not a baby any more. They certainly grow up quickly.
    Hope you will enjoy your holiday weekend in London with the family. It is hard being away from them as much as you are.
    Take care and I will try to get back in touch before long. Hugs to Heidi and the baby.
    Cheers!
    Ruth

    Great first video, John. Atrium lights look like dangling sausages preparing to illuminate Carnival Breeze’s red light district.

    I liked your hard hat!

    Cheers.

    John,

  34. Rob Rose says:

    John,

    Ship looks amazing, can’t wait for more video. Keep up the great updates.
    Can wait for my September departure on the Breeze.

  35. Guy says:

    We just booked our next cruise (#10) on the Breeze for 3/16/13. We just returned from sailing on the Dream and enjoyed the ship so much we booked the Breeze while on board.

  36. Lori Hott says:

    Can’t wait to set sail on August 26th from Venice, Italy on this beautiful ship!

  37. barbara donnelly says:

    hi john new to this!! lol so looking forward to going on the carnival breeze sailing on the 15th june 2012!! looks amazing , the vids and pics really getting me and my husband excited and we are sure this cruise will make our 30th wedding anniversary extra special !!

  38. Bill and Anne says:

    John .. Quick note, I said we would book this ship for our first B2B and we just did. Exotic Southern/Eastern sailings in the fall 2013 (our 25th anniversary). Watching the PR video and hearing all the great things will make this one incredible sailing (well two sailings I guess).

    Keep the excitement coming — we can wait to see how she completes in the coming months.

    Of course we’d love to meet you as our CD and if it happens — great! If not I’m sure whoever you pass the controls to will just as wonderful… It’ll be a long wait, but well worth it.

    Bill and Anne

  39. Erin says:

    So excited to see this in person in January!!

  40. Beryl Still says:

    Hi John
    First off this is not a complaint yet.
    We booked to go on he Breeze in June to Europe as an early booking October 2011. At the time we have in writing that Carnival guarantee that if you see it cheaper they will refund the difference. Our cruise has already gone done by £400 and we have been given the new price. Thank you but now we have seen it has gone down again, with an online credit. We have contacted the uk offices over 2 weeks ago and called them 2 more times but they just tell us it is being looked into. Will Carnival keep to what they say and refund us the difference do you think ? Thank you

  41. Nan G says:

    Hi have booked my first Carnival criuse on 06/27/2012 on the Breeze sailing out of Barcelona. I come from South Africa & this will be my first Mediterranean cruise. Thanks for your video – the ship looks fantastic. Can’t wait for my cruise to start

    • Gillian McIntyre says:

      Hi there Nan.
      We’re also doing a cruise on the carnival Breeze in September, and we’re also from South Africa. Maybe you can tell me all about your trip when you get back…….

  42. Gillian McIntyre says:
