This was my 10th cruise, second on Norwegian. This was the first time I went by myself and first time on the Breakaway. I booked this a few weeks before the cruise. I knew it was Easter week and there would be lots of kids on board and wasn't really counting on great weather but wanted to get away.
Embarkation- 4000 people getting on board, it was organized, took about an hour.
The ship - it's big but I wasn't a fan of the layout. The casino is on a floor that opens between the floors. Therefore all the smoke wafts onto other floors. This I didn't like.
Loved the room. Hard to find this area at first. the room is tiny. A bed, sink in the wall, toilet closet and shower are separate. Sliding doors for hanging clothes. 2 baskets under bed that I didn't find until I was packing to go.
Didn't tender. Build a pier.
