A: unless you are in an owners suite, being in a Haven room will get you 2 bottles of water. that is it. you will need to either purchase water, do the premium plus beverage pkg or bring a refillable water bottle.

Answer QuestionA: I think I remember the darts being about one dollar per game, and you just slide your cruise card and it gets billed to your room.
Answered by indianabahamamama on January 12, 2024
A: There is a fee for bowling. not sure about darts.
Answered by wacyb on January 11, 2024
A: I just got off the Breakaway 3 weeks ago. They charge for bowling and darts. The only free activities are the water slides and ropes course.

A: We always go to Paradise beach club and have a wonderful time. It’s a quick cab ride from the dock and has a heated pool, restaurant/bar and a beach!

A: We went to Mr. Sanchos and had a blast!!
Answered by NurseLisa80 on November 26, 2023
A: we have had it before and loved it! I would do thermal spa if it's a cruise in colder weather but Vibe is an amazing spot in hotter Temps.
Answered by jenlburt on October 27, 2023
A: The vibe is absolutely wonderful. No children around, your own bar with great bar bartenders. You have to book quickly. We are going June 2nd, we have the vibe with a cabana and I believe on our cruise it's already sold out.
Answered by DSKatzmann on January 26, 2024
A: We asked this question before and we were told that it’s the best part of the cruise. Yeah it’s a bit pricey but consider not fighting for chairs, not feeling like cattle for a prime spot to relax. Side note, we upgraded from just accessing the beac... h club to having a personal cabana for the week. It’s only $100 more than you would pay for the beach club. Here is the upside: with the cabana reserved, we don’t need to go early and put downs and our stuff on a chair. We can just enjoy breakfast or a workout and then stroll up to vibe when we are ready for sun. I anticipate we will spend most days up there.See More

A: We will board the Breakaway for the fourth time, in a month. Will take a fifth cruise on it in March. Great ship! We love NCL! We’ve also cruised Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Holland America. NCL Breakaway is an elegant ship. The dining rooms are t... op notch. NCL is the only cruise line with a 24hr eatery. O’Sheehan’s has a wonderful pub menu (my fav is the fish & chips). It also has a great breakfast menu. And when prime rib is served in the dining room, it’s also served at O’Sheehans. The shows are Broadway quality, though we disliked their show Sixx and the one in the Speigel tent. Not our taste. Burn the Floor is excellent. The adult area (H2O) is free. There’s a ropes course, and rock climbing wall. We have stayed in an inside cabin, a family oceanview cabin with a tub/shower combo, aAnd a balcony cabin (there are coffee pots in this category cabin. The coffee pot uses the little pods made with filter paper. (NOT plastic K-Cups) We gladly recommend the Breakaway!! 🚢❣️🚢❣️🚢See More

A: Was not a fan of not having more than the buffet and osheehans as included food options. There’s no poolside food options. I don’t like having to make reservations for shows. Venues are too small for comedy and syds is way too small for music highlig... ht bands.See More

A: Carnival has many more old ships. NCL Breakaway is much newer than the Carnival ship(s) that sail from New Orleans.
Answered by jeffykins on October 13, 2023
A: You don’t get bombarded with photographers!
Answered by DRAsh on January 5, 2024
A: Not a fan of the Breakaway class of ships. Felt public venues were way too small for passenger count. Disliked wasting time waiting in long standby lines, if we didn't make reservations days ahead for dinner &/or shows. Service was slow due to crew-... passenger ratio. Willing to try a smaller NCL to see if ship type of problem or company wide issue.See More

A: We had always cruised carnival. Going on 2nd NCL February & 3rd in March. Totally different vibe. Food much better. Entertainment not as extensive,but much better. It’s hard to describe how it’s different. I still like carnival, but you should try NC... L too!See More

Answer QuestionA: depends if you consider the photo night an occasion for such a requirement. i say, can't hurt to have one; though you don't have to use it. :)
Answered by TBeyondTheSea on September 7, 2023
A: NCL is freestyle this it’s not necessary. They do have a dress your best night and some folks dress and take photos. All depends on what you prefer.
Answered by Babsie1963 on September 8, 2023
A: I sailed from NYC on The NCL/Getaway 12/22 on New Years Eve & had a blast! Beautiful Christmas decor throughout the ship, nice dinner & show and a great NYE countdown party at The Atrium. I’m pretty sure The Breakaway will be tons of fun as well.... Happy cruising 🤩⚓️😎❣️‼️See More
Answered by MomOwl2020 on August 10, 2023
A: I was on the Breakaway for New Year's 2019. They decorated the ship very nicely with Christmas Trees throughout.They also had impressive gingerbread villages in several areas. Do expect it to be extremely crowded during Holiday times. Even though... that was pre pandemic, ships are back to 100 percent and then some.See More
Answered by CruiseQueen34 on August 9, 2023
A: If it's as tiny as it is on the Viva, which I am on now, it's the most ridiculous venue I have ever been in or tried to get in. I can't imagine why NCL would design a venue that small and have bands inside. It barely has seating for a game of trivia... .See More
Answered by VickiplusDavid on November 25, 2023
A: Anytime between 90 days prior to sailing until checking in at the port
Answered by princessvickie on June 29, 2023
A: I’ve seen some get accepted quickly while others lingered up until the day before sailing. I think the quality of the offer is a factor in how quick you get accepted
Answered by Jimd403 on June 29, 2023
A: Could be a couple of weeks, could be the day before. It depends how much you bid, how many upgrades they have, and what others bid.

A: We are staying at Hilton- Doubletree before our cruise next month. Two nights before and a day after.
Answered by Jimd403 on June 14, 2023
A: we used ncl cruisetour option. little costly, but well worth it. free transportation to ship port terminal.
Answered by maectpo58 on June 14, 2023
A: As stated earlier, yes. However, be aware. Norwegian will tell you that you’ll be able to watch live football games but, they mean soccer. We usually like to watch American football games. So, we bring a laptop, small projector, and Bluetooth speaker... . Btw, the white blankets on your bed make a great projector screen. 😂See More
Answered by cajuncoopers on June 7, 2023
A: yes.i just got off the Breakaway on Monday. There are places to watch live sports. they had soccer and the NBA playoffs on.
