I cruised to Bermuda on the Breakaway July12-19. The entertainment was awful. Rock of Ages was a waste of time. Rock the Floor was decent but should of had more upbeat music instead of so many slow songs. The ship's lounge singers were horrible. The Atrium area which is surrounded by bars would go from some Alvin and lady group to Nickolodean in the same hour. I thought it was inappropriate for kids to do character meet and greets around the bars.

I read reviews about the food being bad and I thought the reviewers were extra picky. Sadly, they were correct. The Garden Buffet was on the level of school cafeteria grade quality food. None of the items were ever steaming hot, and barely warm. By the time you made your plate and sat down, the food was room temperature at best. The coffee was never hot. They used hot plates off their grills and placed the foods under lights. Some of the food sat out too long for the lights to work. I don't know why they don't use those steam devices you see at regular buffets. Uptown grill is so overrated! It was good, but nothing to rush in line for. Taste and Savor have the exact same menus so do not think you can get a variety in either of those. The desserts were down right terrible! Your best bet is an ice cream cone (from the machine, not the hand dipped) or the pound cakes. Everything else was bland.

Cabins were standard...OK.
