››Preview: Carnival Breeze


Life’s a dream C


Carnival Breeze is the third of Carnival’s “fun” ships – and promises to be the most exciting yet ,


arnival Breeze is the third of the line’s “Dream-class” of ships, and a sister ship to last year’s Magic. The 3,690-capacity ship will be largely similar to her “fun ship” siblings, but with three new features and a few tweaks.


The big addition is a world first, the first 5D – yes Fun Facts


Photographers will snap more than 1.5 million digital images


Guests will indulge in more than 18,000 massages


Stewards will create more than 663,000 “towel animals”


242,000 servings of signature dessert, the Chocolate Melting Cake will be eaten


5D – cinema at sea: Thrill 5D Theatre, where you will be able to see, feel and smell the movies. But for the Carnival fan, the big change you’ll notice is a more subdued colour palette throughout the ship. Gone are the garish colours the line has long been associated with, and in comes a more “contemporary” décor, as the new UK head Adolfo Perez explains: “I think you can see the changes which started with Dream and Magic and will be fully realised with Breeze. “There’s much more toning down following customer feedback, which is the reality of the 21st century. We don’t want to be trendy, but give it a more classic and contemporary feel.” Created by Germany-based Partner Ship Design, this toned-down tropical design theme will offer a combination of bright colours and soothing pastel

hues. (However, fret not fans of classic Carnival kitsch – there will still be the odd image of palm trees dotted around public spaces and in corridors.)


5D thrills


The 24-seat 5D cinema has a high-definition 3D projection system, strobe lights, a smoke/fog machine, and bubble machine. What makes it 5D are the various special effects including leg tickling, neck blowing, seat pokes, water squirts and seat motion. Films will be about 15 minutes long and – to be confirmed at time of going to press – could include Happy Feet and Polar Express. It’s also yet to confirmed whether there will be a charge or not. The second new(ish) feature is Bonsai Sushi, which for readers who have cruised on Magic will know is not new – there is an existing Bonsai Sushi – but this will be significantly expanded so it feels more like a restaurant with an à la carte menu and pricing and a dedicated seating area and waiter service. Again, this follows positive customer feedback: “People want sushi on board,” explains Perez, “so we’ve expanded the existing space.”
