We decided for Breakaway because no flying involved. The ship has no Wow factor. Its big on the outside but inside too many small rooms. The staff were very cold and rude esp. in the shop area. The maid was overworked no assistant. We cruised 17 times and this is the first time our room steward worked alone. He has no time to talk to us. The line to drop off kids is 2 miles long and my son refused to go to kids club because it was boring. Shows not very good. We left early most time. I became very sick of the smoke from the casino. You have to pass the casino for various locations. We ate at Washbi /garden buffet/ and a Japanese place. Most places we ate we have to paid cover charges and tips and at the end of the cruise they still take out 12 bucks a day a person to pay for the waiters staff.

On and off the ship for islands no musics no welcome like the other ships. We docked next to the Norwegian sky in Bahamas and had to looking over there for entertainment. We overheard many people complaining of losing in the casino and vowed never to come back again. I guess that's all they care about is to make money out of people in the casino. If you are not into gambling or a smoker please don't choose this one.
