The Ship
Don’t miss out! Make your way to Galveston Texas for an unforgettable friends and family reunion cruise vacation on board the Carnival Breeze!
The Carnival Breeze cruise ship dazzles with its WaterWorks aqua park, thrilling guests with towering water slides and splash zones. Kids delight in the Camp Ocean, where they embark on fun-filled adventures. Additionally, it offers a Seaside Theatre, where movies light up the night under the stars.
For food enthusiasts, Guy’s Burger Joint serves up mouthwatering creations. And there’s so much more just check out the Carnival Breeze Dining Guide here.
This floating vacation destination also features 4 swimming pools and 7 whirlpools, including a main pool. Not to mention the world class Cloud9 Spa. Meanwhile, the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat provides a peaceful escape with its plush loungers and whirlpools.
Moreover, the SportSquare challenges visitors with its high-flying SkyCourse and mini-golf. And lastly, the ship’s lively nightlife, featuring both a smoking and non-smoking casino, comedy shows and musical performances, ensures entertainment for all. And since words can’t possibly do this ship justice, you should take the Carnival Breeze virtual tour.
The Sailing Itinerary
Dust off your passport and embark on a Friends and Family Cruise from the historic port of Galveston, Texas, nestled on the Gulf Coast. Galveston, a bustling commercial hub in the late 1800s, boasts restored architecture and a rich history. Additionally, the city’s long seawall offers stunning gulf views, enhancing your cruise departure experience. Sprinkled with museums, amusement parks, beautiful beaches, and delicious seafood, Galveston promises a memorable start to your Friends and Family Cruise.
Next, after exploring Galveston, you’ll sail towards Cozumel, Mexico, enjoying a fun day at sea on the way there and on the way back. Then upon arrival in Cozumel, you’ll discover an island brimming with Caribbean charm. Despite its size, Cozumel offers a vast array of activities, sights, flavors, and adventures. Furthermore, situated atop a coral reef, the island invites hours of snorkeling or scuba diving exploration. Cruises dock at the island’s heart, minutes from San Miguel’s seafront shops and Chankanaab National Park’s white sand beaches. So, whether you’re drifting among star corals, exploring Mayan ruins, or relaxing on the beach, Cozumel’s offerings might just make this your best vacation yet.
