Norwegian Breakaway Review

Additional details
Huge ship, but a nice layout. The elevators are kept to two main banks, nothing fancy, but they seem to do the job. Outside each is a diagram of the deck. They are however somewhat on the slow side. There are also numerous touch screens to making dining and entertainment reservations as well as the best way to go from your current location to the chosen venue.
Not sure how we got this cabin but it was a great surprise, Most balconies are tiny, but this one is at the bend in the ship and the one end is quite large. We were able to get 2 lounges on it and really kick back and relax. Yes it was tight, but to simply enjoy the sea air and take in some sun it was great. The location was great only steps from the elevator and being being the inside cabins don't open to the same corridor you never heard a cabin door open or close. The shower had a great flow and HOT water. The sink area was ample with enough storage for personal items. I did miss the creme rinse after shampooing. The closets had 20 hangers, more than enough and several shelves for undergarments, socks, shorts, etc. One was reserved for the safe a bit small but held what I needed. I found it easy to store my luggage under the bed and easy to access for those 'just in case' items I took along. The TV was easy to see. The couch large enough for a 3rd to sleep on without opening. The key slot for lights etc. is behind the door and saves from simply leaving lights and such on when you leave the room. There are ample outlets to keep cells charged. The only downside is the refridge is not deep and if you take a snack or leftover to eat later it's a challenge to get it in as they do not serve on paper plates. So much for the room...what made it even better was "Jon" our steward...he should be teaching others how to serve the guests. He is so good I'll request him in the future. As for this cabin we loved it and only hope if we cruise this ship again we can get it again. Great location, great cabin steward, and quite comfortable.
