This was our third NCL cruise, it was our first on the Breakaway. It was a wonderful experience from arriving at the Port in NY to getting on the ship. My sister-in-law and I travel together and we both need to have wheelchairs to get on board. It was the smoothest embarkment we have ever experienced in NY. As a handicapped vacationer it was a pleasure,they brought us directly to our cabin, where I was able to get the electric cart I had rented for the week. We had a handicapped cabin with a balcony, it was the largest cabin we have ever had with plenty of storage space. People complain that the ship is large, well it is and you know that when you book, it should not be a complaint. We had the most wonderful time. The staff was wonderful and the food was extremely better than our past cruises on the Gem and Jewel. We cannot wait to book another cruise on the Breakaway.
