Norwegian Breakaway Review

Additional details
This wasn't at all what we expected as our first cruise.
Embarkation was a nightmare. After receiving our cabin keys we were herded to a large room with hundreds of people. We waited there for 4 hours with nothing to drink and lots of standing room only with all the people. There was a network problem of some sort that stopped anyone from getting on the ship.
After finally getting on we wanted a drink. Couldn't get one as the bars were not open and neither were the restaurants. Off to our cabin we went. Not very spacious to say the least for a mini-suite, not even a chair to sit in.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Large Balcony
2 electrical outlets in the room, both in the same place. Finally found one in the bathroom that didn't look like an outlet. Had to have a crew member show us how to plug something in. Not one chair to sit in only the bed.
The couch/bed was terrible. Regular bed was adequate but not very comfortable. For a "Floating Hotel" I'd say Motel 6 is what it was patterned after.
On a positive note it was kept clean.
Port Reviews
San Juan
Took a 2 hour private tour from an independent guy on the pier. Was interesting and informative.
St. Thomas
Shopped for jewelry. Got an excellent opal for much less than could acquire at home.
