We've been on one other cruise, but with Carnival that was the worst vacation we have ever been on. We were hoping Norwegian would be better and it was so much more! We are not cruise snobs, infact it took us 12 years to go on this vacation (which was our honeymoon two years late)... We had a mid-ship mini-suite with a balcony. Our bed was not very comfortable, which I was able to sleep on but my husband had issues every night. The channel selection on the tv left a lot to be desired. Carnival at least gave us 2 basic cable channels and 2 channels that played movies and not necessarily the same ones over and over. Norwegian gave us MSNBC, FOXNEWS, BBCworldnews, CNBC, Nickelodeon, ESPN, and then a few other channels made by Norwegian. During rainy weather out at sea or when we were exhausted from being out and doing everything, it would have been nice to not see the same shows or movies that we saw on day 1.

Our steward was amazing, the crew members were amazing, the food was so much better than carnival. Although the weather was raining on and off, we really seemed to luck out with our excursions that were booked way ahead of time and the things we chose to do on our own. The trip went so well, we definitely want to go back to Bermuda on the Breakaway again someday. Beautiful, clean ship and so many things to do. So much so that we didn't get to do everything!! We had the ultimate beverage package, we don't know why anyone would not get that package! There were some great selections at the main dining rooms, even the buffet was decent (especially the crepe station which we found after 7pm each night) and didn't really see the need to get the ultimate dining package. With all the sodas and cocktails we were drinking, it paid for itself.

The excursions were alright. The mini bus tour was pretty good, but didn't tell much about the history of Bermuda but more about specific things. The best part is that we felt we didn't need to do any of the other excursions that show you around certain areas or shuttle you to certain areas. This tour guide explained to us how to use the bus system and that if we wanted to do a lot in one day, it would be better to get an all day bus pass and take the local buses. We also did the kayaking excursion. This was great all the way but getting back was awful. We loved seeing everything from sea turtles to specific landmarks and the exercise was great. At the very end they gave us drinks and we spent some time on the beach. Had we known that we would be spending time on that little beach we probably would have gotten comfortable, but the guys doing the tour did not tell us we would be hanging out for a half an hour (which we would have taken full advantage of that time). We also knew that the guys who gave us the tour were not the ones that picked us up from the port and we knew they were doing scuba tour after our kayaking, but when we got back to where the buses dropped us off, only one of the buses showed up. We waited an additional half hour for another bus to show up, many of us with empty stomachs and full bladders. BUT the tour was so enjoyable that this mishap did not ruin it for us. All in all we had a great time, and the minor issues here and there were so minor that we have been telling everyone about the experience.
