We chose the Norwegian Breakaway as it coincided with a break from my teaching job. I can't imagine how it could have been any better. Just got off the ship yesterday. Each day as we cruised I would ask my husband "Is there anything you would complain about today ?" (as we saw some bad reviews prior to departure).

The staff was friendly and kind. Some people complain that they were not friendly, but I don't need them to be my best friends!
