1-10 of 1,741 New York (Manhattan) to the USA Norwegian Breakaway Cruise Reviews
We picked this thinking it would be a good adventure. NYC cruise port,problem long lines waiting, hard on elderly, when a women asked for a seat,quote you can sit on the floor. Staff delivered food , drinks,none for passengers. Shame
Ncl cruise good food variety, nice theater shows very professional. Clean ship pleasant staff. Downside lines at every venue. No seats on deck,or towel taken. Try ...
We had to line up for hours outside the terminal in NYC in freezing temps, I saw an ambulance take away an elderly man who collapsed.
The food in the main dining areas was sub-standard, we paid the excess to eat at the better quality restaurants, and there was a massive difference in quality.
We booked a stateroom with a balcony when we arrived it wasn't cleaned, there was dust and human ...
I cruised with my husband; this was our 9th cruise with NCL and our 16th overall. We like leaving from NYC because we live in NJ and prefer not having to fly to disembarkation port. We chose this cruise because we haven’t been to the southern Caribbean and we were especially interested in a Panama Canal visit.
Getting onto the ship from the Manhattan Cruise Port was delayed due to “Coast ...
14-n-cruise from New-York to New Orleans. Loved the itinerary and the value for money. Got a big deal including drink package, 3 specialty restaurants, 300 minutes internet and gratuities. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was tasty, but unspectacular.
Would I sail NCL again? No!!!
In many aspects we had the impression that the ship was not ableto handle the number of guests it was ...
The comment from a dining room supervisor on our last morning sums up how Norwegian see their customers. “We need you to move on so we can get ready for the next batch of people”. It wasn’t even 9am and we hadn’t finished breakfast.
We have previously sailed with Norwegian on two smaller ships (Spirit and Pearl) and thoroughly enjoyed it. After sailing on the Epic and now the Breakaway we will ...
We had booked the TA from New York to Civitavecchia for both 2020 and 2021. Of course, COVID interrupted those plans, so we were finally able to cruise in 2023. The crew, entertainment and food all delivered as did the itinerary. However, the design of the ship left a lot to be desired. While the Boardwalk and Dining Venues were terrific, the Atrium was overused every day for live music, games ...
Went on my first transatlantic cruise last year on Island Princess. Loved the stops, hated the ship, and it’s pretty much non-existent entertainment. Knowing that NCL doesn’t skimp on entertainment, decided to give it a try. Happy to report, Breakaway did not disappoint! So much to do on this ship! The musical Six, Burn the Floor, Multi-Instrumentalist, OceanFest, Vocalist, Magician in the main ...
I just took my first NCL cruise, April 20 to May 6 Breakaway transatlantic and was a little disappointed when comparing it to Princess or Celebrity. I took a transatlantic on each of them last year, and they were overall just much better. BUT, before I get into things I didn't like, I'll describe what I did like.
1. I paid a low price with no single supplement. It was the same on Princess and ...
Embarkation: Staff in NYC were friendly and efficient. We were in our room on the ship at 11AM (although the ship had been empty for 3 days).
Getting off: No information available on transport to city, to train station or to airport--unless booked through Norwegian. There is a “SitBus” that runs from terminal to Rome, but we couldn’t find out where to find it. There is a Port to train ...
DO NOT recommend this cruise line, neither this breakaway ship! It really broke our vacations from day one! We were traveling with my senior, handicapped 82 years old mother. The flight was included and it was a 7:00AM!!! We needed to be a the airport at least at 3:00AM & we did… the airport was closed at least the airline desk. Really? We waited until finally they opened around 6AM, mind you, my ...
