Norwegian Breakaway
Sail date: October 12, 2014
Dissapointed with the Breakaway
I've been on several cruises. Most of them on NCL. I have really enjoyed all of them except for this one. The Breakaway is poorly designed for the amount of people they stuff on that ship. 4000 passengers and only one pool area. It was almost impossible to get a lounge chair in the pool area. I brought my 15 year old son and he couldn't even enjoy a pool. Had to use the kiddy pool witch was only waist high on him since he is 6 feet tall. The hot tubs were only lukewarm. Lacking elevators in the middle of the ship because of that circus tent that most people don't even enjoy since it is extra money to go see that show. I will say we never had to search for a seat for the buffet. I didn't like having to reserve a time to go see the shows either. Better luck next time.
Cruise tips
Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas
Enjoyed the beach all day! The water is beautiful!
Went shopping, but the locals are a pain in the behind!
Went to Ellens Stardust Diner on Broadway. Casual food, but really fun!
The beach is ok, but there's not a lot to do there.

Get to the pool deck early if you want a chair. Plan you room placement carefully since there are no elevators in the middle of the ship. Lots of walking, I'm not lazy, but it wastes a lot of precious cruise time.
