Flight In:
Flew in on Saturday, July 20, 2019 to Ft. Lauderdale. Flights arranged by NCL were the worst they could arrange. This is really the only issue we had, but it was so bad we may not travel with NCL in future. 11 and ½ hours to travel from Connecticut to Florida.
Had reservations at hotel in South Beach (Z Ocean)
• South Beach was interesting to see ONCE. Wouldn’t go ...
We are Miami locals that took our first cruise with NCL. We booked with an agent and the booking process was painless. The day we set sail was smooth and very well guided. Within an hour we had settled in our room, and had a bite to eat in the main dining halls. We made some last minute entertainment reservations at one of the manned kiosks set up just for the embarkation process. When we returned ...
We had a great trip on the Breakaway. Normally I just read reviews, and never provide them -- but since I spent so much time researching on cruise critic I decided i should 'pay it forward' and provide a review too! Ship is beautiful. It is very well laid out -- where most of the entertainment and restaurants are on the 5th-8th deck. This made it very easy to navigate around the ship. Our cabin ...
I will start off my saying I have been on multiple cruises but try not to travel in the summer because of the crowds. We had to go in the summer because this was a family vacation and had to go when the kids were off from school We were a family of 15 ranging from 73 down to 7. Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. This ship was very crowded but it really didn't seem to be a ...
Our extended family cruises together every other year. This was the first time cruising NCL (we previously did Carnival and RC). We booked travel and transport thru NCL. My aunt is disabled and we also registered her with the Access Desk at NCL.
Upon arriving for our transport to the port (at the Miami airport) we were informed that they did not have handicapped transport for my aunt. We ...
Alright first the Cons:
I’ve been on breakaways sister ship the getaway 4 times and i know both ships are identical but their not. Breakaway wasn’t put together as well as her sister ship. What i mean is noise. I booked a studio cabin 11563 it was horrific. First thing is every morning at 6am the cleaning staff would start working on the floor. This included an access door that slammed so hard ...
It was my first cruise, so my comparison is with all in resorts.
I liked very much the dinners, because we used the package to try the speciality restaurants.
The shows and the entertainment were also very good and the room was quite good.
What I did not like was the pool and the ambiance around the pool. First the pool is really small, and if we take out the area where the depth is less ...
Most of these reviews are right on the money.
The Good: Specialty dining was great (Food Quality and Service); Rooms were kept clean and most of the staff were really good.
Drinks were great...Buffet food was better than dining room if you can believe that
The BAD: This was by far the greediest cruise i've ever taken. Nothing is included No bottles of water despite paying for a drink ...
This cruise and this ship were, all-around, an excellent experience. Friendly and helpful crew, top notch entertainment, excellent food and food venues!! Smaller ship with many passengers so it was full of energy and crowded at times,but, never-the- less, a relaxing vacation where you could set your own pace and schedule. Beautiful decor throughout the ship, easy to access all areas and easy to ...
Love NCL, always cruise them, never cruised any other Love the freestyle , played back atmosphere. Love the ship, homey feeling, service was awesome, our room steward Francis was the best. The dining package was worth every penny. Have another cruise booked for 2021 and will possibly will do the New England cruise in 2020. The entertainment was great, the seats in everything theater on ...
