This was our first cruise and we had a fantastic time. The food was delicious and plenteous. The cabin was spacious and clean with lots of storage and our cabin steward Mike DeLara was exemplary!
Our adult children stayed down the hall from us and loved their experience, as well.
The restaurants we ate at were exceptional and we had a server named Nelson Messina who was especially ...
I have sailed on Norwegian four or five times, so I had a pretty good idea what to expect this time and, indeed, this cruise conformed to my expectations. Basically, this is a medium giant ship with lots and lots of activities for kids - minigolf ( the course could use some rehab); ping pong; water slides; rope climbs, bingo etc. Family upgrade cabin 12772 has bunk beds below and from ceiling a ...
Ok, I rarely write reviews however I frequently read them and appreciate the time and thought others put into them. I find it helpful in finding a good fit from similar perspectives so I will give a little background. I will start by saying we are very low maintenance sort of people and not fussed but servers falling over us. We much prefer a friendly and humorous staff, some people love the over ...
The good:
-Boarding process: Left out of Port Canaveral and from the time we arrived via hotel shuttle to the port (around 11, boarding started at 12 on paper but they started early) to the time we set foot on the ship was around 25 minutes. We waited maybe 5 mins at most outside to be let into the terminal and once we started moving, we never stopped other than the check in desk until we set ...
Chose to take my young adult children on a trip post Christmas to bond and have fun. Boat filled to capacity with over a quarter being young kids. Elevators were almost always completely full. Our cabin was slightly small for three of us and the steward left the couch made as a bed the whole week. He was very pleasant and thorough in the cleaning daily. We would not have had dinner ...
The Breakaway was always clean and tidy and in very good shape. The layout is nice. The cabins were small, but well designed. One bummer: no college football was anywhere to be found during the bowl season.
We loved being able to walk around the ship outdoors and sit and chat by the sea. Specialty restaurants were plentiful and nice. We enjoyed Teppanyaki and Moderno. The food at ...
My family has travelled on many cruises (15+) and cannot say we have ever had one bad experience. We have been on Carnival, Princess, Celebrity, and Costa and have never complained or been disappointed with any trip before. We were looking forward to this Norwegian cruise as we had heard that Norwegian cruises had really improved and updated their ships. I can honestly say I was blown away at what ...
We chose the Breakaway for a group of four families (19 of us in total, including teens and young adults) because it fit in our families' schedules. It was a treat to spend New Year's Eve on such a great ship. I read a lot of negative reviews during the time leading up to our cruise and became a little nervous about what we might experience. As a group, we were very pleased with the level of ...
The ship was clean the cabins were nice but limited storage for your clothes.
The food was sub par and you were served the same thing everyday unless you paid extra in the specialty restaurants. I couldn't wait for each port to get off the ship so we could have a decent meal.
The crew on this ship were the most miserable and rude bunch of people I have ever seen on a cruise, They NEVER ...
This was mine and my boyfriends first cruise. We went on the 7 day western Caribbean cruise. The first 2 days went good, our room was always cleaned, food was decent, and drinks were great. However, this all started to go down hill when we decided to visit the spa for a couples massage. We both have gotten swedish massages before and knew what to expect. Everything started off normal, they asked ...
