Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Breakaway

Physical Appearance / accommodations: Even though the ship was recently refurbished (2018), it was already showing signs of wear. In our cabin we saw many places that had chipped boards and stains. The slides were almost always closed for ‘maintenance.’ I did like the overall design of the ship, with almost everything you need either on floors 6, 7, 8, or 15. It made it easier to find stuff ...

Bed was horrible, not enough things to do on the ship, Velvet show distasteful and horrible we left early and we complained and got our money back. Food was so so. Two waiters were rude but the rest of the staff was excellent. I’ve been on many cruises with other cruise lines but this was my worst experience. I got the exact link of the night pizza rolls from waffle sorrow for what my way to work ...

I was invited by friends to join them on this cruise. The ship was beyond impeccable! The staff were all so happy and friendly and really seem to enjoy making the guests happy! I only encountered 1 staff person at the excursion desk who was a little snappy and condescending with me...didn't catch her name. Our cabin attendant, Ulysses, was awesome! So attentive and friendly! Daylin (not sure if ...

I noticed a marked decline in service and attention compared to previous cruises. Always liked NCL for their service and never had any complaints. This cruise on the Breakaway was a bit disappointing. We met some wonderful friends, and that is always a great and positive experience. First night's dinner at the "Manhattan" was chaotic. There seemed to be a lot of confusion on the part of ...

My friends were going on this cruise and had been on Norwegian before, my family and I had not. This ship had the worst service in history, my family and I were SHOCKED. We bought the ultimate drink package and thought we'd get a chance to use it but that was just a dream, unfortunately. The bars were completely understaffed. We had to wait 30 minutes each time we wanted a drink from the bar ...

I am not new at cruising and have taken 9 cruises prior to this one. I have sailed with Norwegian in the past and had a blast. I have never left a negative review about a cruise because I have never had an experience this bad. This time it was different. I hate leaving critical reviews because how much harm they can cause but this cruise was just really, really bad. Passengers all over the ...

Unless you are ready to stand in line to get any type beverage - stay home

I go on a cruise once a year - to relax and enjoy excellent views, amenities and service - in short - to be pampered. I'm willing to pay for that luxury and do so willingly. What I don't do is pay good money to stand in lines for 20 minutes to get a beverage, to have waiters totally ignore 90% of the people on the decks and to have bartenders be rude. Embarkation started out good - I'm Platinum ...

Overall we had a great cruise, the weather was fantastic, food was great, entertainment excellent and fun at the ports of call. We booked this cruise back in March and NCL offered us a great discount on the package. This is our 7th cruise with NCL. The Halloween Party and other theme nights were a great time. Found the bartenders, wait staff, and cabin steward very helpful and friendly. ...

NCL is slipping or this ship has management issues

This opinion is based on my past experience with my 2 previous Norwegian cruises. I sailed on both the Getaway and the Escape and found the staff was more attentive, professional, always smiling and ready to serve. What a surprise on the Breakaway, and not in a good way! Either Norwegian is seriously slipping or they really have a management issue on this ship. First off, the ship card given ...

This was one of the best cruises ever! We loved all the costumes - the children were precious but the adults were fantastic. We can’t wait to take another cruise over Halloween. The Haven was absolutely worth the money. We had a forward facing 1 bedroom. The bathroom is amazing. The Haven lounge and dining room are GREAT! We especially loved the special access to the shows. The ...
