Most of my review compares our Royal Caribbean cruise in June on Oasis of the Seas with this trip. Overall, NCL did not have to deal with any covid restrictions while RC did for our last trip. The Oasis is bigger than the Breakaway. While less grand, the Breakaway was far more manageable for me to find things and get around.
Embark was great. Easy. Our App didn’t work in advance but they were great and ready with luggage tags. NY terminal awesome. Boarded AFT and no huge atrium to welcome us but quick and easy at muster stations. Awesome!
Service. Much better than our experience 6 mos ago on RC. Friendly. Helpful. Awesome.
Basic balcony cabin. I liked the design of bathroom that maximized space. Regular room steward service. Clean. Friendly.
