We are gold members of another line, and We choose this cruise because our family lives in new York and the port was easy for them to travel to. The port was convenient and the destination (Bermuda) we thought would be fun and we stayed in port for two nights.
About NCL Breakaway - the ship itself is beautiful, the food for the most part was very good, lots of variety including sugar free and gluten free options. The all you can drink package, amazing... the drinks are good and strong! The Brazilian Steak House was AWESOME, Great value for the extra money and the food was delicious. Our disembarkation was so simple, (NOTE; pay the extra bucks for a porter), as our porter had all 11 of us and our 18 pieces of luggage out of the terminal and into our party bus in less than an hour.
That is all I have to say good about my cruise experience on NCL. Now the bad.. where do I start :(
