Unlike our several other cruises on NCL ships, my wife and I were generally disappointed with our July 21-28, 2013 Breakaway sailing.
The ship is beautiful, and the execution of the New York City theme is very well done. If this ship were sized to carry 3000 passengers, it would be a delight. Unfortunately, NCL has gone too far in seeking to maximize revenue at the expense of quality, service, and a pleasurable cruise.
The most distinguishing feature about Norwegian has been its Freestyle Cruising. This alone has made up for an otherwise mediocre offering. Sailing the Jewel, Gem, etc. is a relaxed, pleasant experience; but not so aboard the Breakaway.
