Sail Date: Apr 2013

I sailed with Norwegian Cruise lines for the first and last time.

I was on the Breakaway transatlantic cruise from UK to NYC arriving yesterday. First off this was advertised as pulling into NYC at 8 AM. One of the reasons we took this cruise was for the experience of sailing into NY harbor in daylight to experience this sight and take once in a lifetime photos. Instead this ship slinked into the harbor in the dead of night way ahead of schedule. No first experience, sighting or photos. we wasted out money.

We spent extra money for a balcony cabin which was a joke. It was more like a ledge and impossible to sit on without me knees touching the glass barrier.

Cabin Review

There are no draws for storage and the closet is less than half the size of those on other cruise lines. You cannot use your lights unless you put a room card in a slot at the cabin entrance. Inconvenient and very European and stupid. Cabin door opens outwards into the hall rather then inwards as shape of the cabin entrance is not totally straight. The bed was so short my husbands feet hung over the bottom, he is 6' 1", not overly tall for an American male.

The only outlets are at below the mirror'
