I am an experienced cruiser. I generally take 5 or 6 cruises per year on different cruise lines. I try to enjoy each cruise on its own merits. I was traveling alone on the Breakaway and I felt the ship was a really good option because it is a very large ship with excellent entertainment options. When traveling by myself, I love freestyle cruising. These are my opinions of the ship:
CABINS:
My standard balcony cabin was quite small, but elegantly appointed. I loved the soft, easy tones and lighting. Everything was sparkling clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. There is not much storage space, but I made it all work. My cabin attendant did an excellent job of keeping my room clean and tidy.
My standard balcony cabin was small, but very comfortable and clean. It was incredibly quiet on deck 13. There isn't a lot of space to put clothes away, but I used the area under my bed for my bags. There is also some space under the sofa for storage.
