We were on the Breakaway from Aug 31-Sept 7.
Our small family included myself and my husband (DH) and our 7 year old daughter (DD7). This was our 6th cruise and our 3rd time with Norwegian. I am not an expert cruiser by any means, but I will try to relate our experiences the best I can.
We are big Disney fans! We go to Disney almost every year including last July. Our Disney Wonder cruise remains my most favorite. Unfortunately, Disney prices have become too much for us. We love sailing with NCL because it is very kid friendly and because of Nickelodeon. We have only been on NCL ships with Nickelodeon Programs (Gem, Jewel and now Breakaway). NCL prices are very reasonable, in my opinion. Not cheap, but reasonable.
We had Balcony Cabin on Deck 13. Mid-ship balcony stateroom number 13162. Love the location! Very near the Splash Academy, Spa and Gym. We can use the stairs most of the time. The room was small, but clean, new, and totally adequate. Bathroom was great! We spent lots of time on the balcony and even though it was small. One of the biggest hits was coffee in the room.
