Solo traveler who appreciates the availability of NCL's solo traveler cabins - my last several cruises have been NCL's Epic, Dawn, & Breakaway 8/2-8/9/15 - was very disappointed with Breakaway, started off on a very bad note: around 5:30 PM I started to wonder where my luggage was, I finally wound up behind customer service desk in a storage area for "unidentified"(?) luggage & there was mine (with the NCL provided luggage tag missing, it's chintzy paper you know!) - still took me another visit down there before someone would deliver it - oh yeah, my name shows prominently on a PLASTIC id tag, but I guess they couldn't match name to cabin # -
other very disappointing notes: during the day pool area was very hard to walk through let alone get a seat at the bar - worst cruise I've ever been on as far as allowing the saving of lounge chairs, impossible to find one anywhere near pool - walking space dangerously right in middle of jogging track, saw a few collisions & many more near misses - very crowded on outdoor deck; (15&16) - many of favorite shows, ie; Deal or No Deal, Jeopardy, Newlywed Game, etc were held in The Atrium, certainly not as many seats as the theater, again mad scramble for available seats, with many, many being "saved" - enjoyed 2nd City Improv, Dueling Pianos - not a fan on Broadway/Vegas reviews, but am a big blues music, looking forward to hearing Slim Allen, alas, not so, Charlie Love, who was in Fat Cats most nites, may have been good in Chi town years ago, not now: a real "tired" act - as you might guess, entertainment is a big part of a cruise for me, sadly, my last cruise on NCL's Breakaway was sorely lacking -
oh yeah, food was very good - I mainly used Garden Cafe & Sheehan's - will be looking for different entertainment options for future cruises
had no problems with cabin, hardly ever saw cabin attendant
Spent a week prior to cruise doing touristy things in NYC - enjoyed the week in NYC more than (overpriced) NCL cruise to Bermuda
