The song goes "Love Is Lovelier The Second Time Around".... in the case of the "Breakaway".... the ship and crew are like a time capsule... the same this time as when we first sailed her 5 months ago (November 2014)....
All-in-all, let's face it, we wouldn't have re-booked her if it wasn't fun the first time around... the specialty restaurants (which came as one of the "bonus" perks with the cruise) were terrific... the best?... "Cagney's" steak house & the Brazilian restaurant (Moderno) as well as Tapinyaki, The most interesting... "The Spiegel Tent" of course... but make sure you get there the first night or it'll cost you more later in the cruise (they have a terrific "Cirque" type show going on there... the food isn't bad either !)
You say you don't smoke ??? WRONG... you do... especially if you're a passenger on this ship. The crew implements little if any of their "no-smoking" policies... undoubtedly worse for their casino clientele than for the rest of us... but still.... it "stinks"... literally.
The cabins aboard the ships are beautifully designed.... the shower herads were nice, the closet space plentiful for a short voyage, and the room attendant attentive. Very nice.
