Took the 06 July sailing of the Breakaway on its weekly sail from NYC to 3 days in Bermuda and back. I've been on the Epic so I'm used to some of the things on cruises such as this with 4,000 people.

I, contrary to many, am not a big fan of the studios; at least the ones I had twice on European cruises on the Epic. And as I monitored the prices on this cruise in May, I noted that the prices for a guaranteed interior had dropped below that of the studios. In effect I was not charged the unfair single cupplement and paid a fair price. Also cruising out of NYC is great for me. A subway ride to Penn Station and a quick cab ride to the port (I've unfortunately gotten too old to push my suitcase four Avenue blocks to walk from the subway) and I'm there. I left early, arrived around 1015 and check in was a breeze except for the long long walk to the back of the terminal where they were checking in my floor.

The interior cabin, 5409, was more than adequate. Nice comfortable bed and nice toilet/shower facilities. No complaints there. My room attendant was great (left him a $20 tip) and he kept the room very comfortable to come back to each night. Read more
