Just returned from our 7-night NYC to Bermuda cruise. We had a blast but I do have some complaints. The Breakaway is a gorgeous ship and has a lot to offer. I will go over a few categories to give you an idea of each aspect of the ship.

The food:

Our dining experiences on the ship were all pleasurable ones. The Garden Buffett was great and had a wide variety of foods for breakfast lunch and dinner. Everything seemed to be a lot better quality than your average Buffett. Even the hamburger buns were soft and fresh every day. If you're eating breakfast at the Buffett make sure to keep an eye out for Franklin aka "The Happy Coffee Guy" and his friend Mari Cris, they are sure to put a smile on your face. A favorite spot of ours was O'Sheehan's Irish Pub. The pub was open 24/7 and was complimentary. If you go before 11pm they have a larger menu selection. The buffalo wings and grilled chicken sandwiches at the pub were great. As for paid restaurants we tried Wasabi(sushi) and Teppenyaki(Hibachi) both of which were amazing. They sushi was fresh and very cheap compared to sushi back home in CT. Only about $4.50 for an 8 piece sushi roll. The Hibachi was great and our chef was very entertaining. Only $25.00 for soup, salad, edamame, rice, veggies, and main course(I got filet/shrimp) all of it was delicious. We also sat in the Manhattan Room complimentary restaurant one night and it was very nice. I recommend the rack of lamb dish, very tasty and perfectly cooked.

Cabin Review

Interior cabin was WAY too small even if you only had 2 people. We had 3 and were VERY cramped, I can't imagine having a 4th in the same room. We could hear the Cirque show rehearsing and putting on each show which was very loud and annoying. Bunk beds were partially over the lower bed making it pretty claustrophobic.
