May 2016 - 7 Night Bermuda (New York Roundtrip) Cruise on Norwegian Breakaway
Bermuda is Amazing, Breakaway is good, could be slightly better.
April 2014 - 4 Night Bahamas (Jacksonville Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Fascination
Carnival Fascination
Sail date: April 28, 2014
Great experience for first time cruisers or budget minded cruisers
Very clean, well planned, and staffed trip. Ship is old and minus many of the amenities that the newer and/or larger ships have. But, for the price it was great.
Norwegian Breakaway
Sail date: May 01, 2016
Bermuda is Amazing, Breakaway is good, could be slightly better.
Bermuda was the best vacation spot/port we have ever visited! I would recommend it to anyone.
The Breakaway is a great ship. When the weather is not good it is VERY crowded. It would be nice to spread the shopping and photo area out so as to not create such a crowd that no one can shop or gt through the hall/passage way. We would have shopped more if the area wasn't so restrictive and crowded. Besides that the ship was great!
The worst part of the trip was the port in New York. We most likely will not sail out of there again. The terminal cannot handle a ship the size of the Breakaway and this causes long lines both boarding and clearing the ship at the end. We stood in line two hours to get off the ship, get luggage, and clear customs. That is not acceptable.
Overall great trip with a few snags along the way!
Cruise tips
Norwegian Breakaway
If you are sailing in the spring or fall bring a couple sets of warm clothes. As amazing as Bermuda is it takes a day or two to get out of the chilly north Atlantic.
Little Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas
Geat little island. Carnival would be smart to keep leasing.
