This was our second time on a NCL cruise, our first on the newest member of the fleet, The Breakaway. I have to say like others who have written about her we were a bit nervous after reading the reviews. First I have to say I (we) went with an open mind and made our own conclusions. I never had the used car salesman feeling until i tried to get the lowest price guarantee adjusted. They did give me an option to move 10 doors up to mid or an on board credit, but after hearing what some other fellow cruisers paid I still feel a bit beat up. So next cruise I will explore all offers and deals, and maybe even book later to see a drop in price.
