Just got back from our Breakaway cruise 12/8-12/15. Let me start with-- IT WAS FABULOUS! To all the critics of this ship, I say get a life. We can't say enough POSITIVE things about it.
We left NYC on a cold, snowy day. The crew was cheerful and pleasant right out of the gate. They even made a snowman on the deck! he ship is beautiful, classy and sparkling clean. It is so tastefully decorated. loved all the decor and the layout. The whole week I encountered courteous, friendly smiling crew members. The only rude people were the guests at the buffet or other crowded venues who seemed to push/ cut in line. I don't care if you don't speak English. You can say excuse me/pardon me in your own language. Ugggh.
Here's a review of what we really enjoyed, and I'll also mention the FEW little things we did not like--
