Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony Stateroom

I sailed on the Breakaway with a group of 5 ages 18, 27, 30, 53 & 55 on the August 18th sailing to Bermuda. Prior to sailing, I kept up with ALL reviews posted on this site. To start, this is freestyle cruising. Not "wing it" cruising. I took all negative comments seriously and to avoid possible headaches, I made ALL of my upgrade restaurant and show reservations prior to sailing to GUARANTEE my dinners for the times I wanted. I felt the hour I spent on the phone with the staff to prebook everything in advance took away the stress of doing it after I boarded the ship. If you wait, be prepared to wait in line or not be guaranteed a seat at the restaurant or shows you would like to enjoy. I also prebooked my excursions. All a time saver. This way you can board the ship, set up your account and that's your only worry. I preordered ship cocktail to the room and chocolate covered strawberries which were there waiting for us and very tasty.

Embankment-A breeze! I live 5 mins from the city and the ride in was smooth. We dropped off our luggage, grabbed breakfast that was available for sale there and waited to be called to board. We arrived early because I wanted to purchase Vibe passes. I was the second group to board the ship and the Vibe passes were already sold out. That wasn't something I was able to prebook in advance unfortunately. There was staff outside the ship greeting us as we got on and they were very happy, dancing, clapping, leaving my feeling welcomed and ready for a great trip.

Once we arrived, we went up for lunch at O'Sheehans which had no wait and plenty of seats and good food. Our rooms were ready right after. We did attend the mandatory safety drill which was a joke, but I guess it was necessary.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BA

My cabin(BA 11812) beautiful decor and lighting features. Closet was average, we asked for more hangers and received them. Plenty of storage throughout the room. Small balcony, but serves its purpose to enjoy a cup of tea/coffe, a glass of wine and just to sit out and relax.
