Review summary

We have been cruising for 3 years now solely on NCL.  This is our 5th cruise.  We went on Breakaway for a friend's birthday.  

 

Pros:

* Food very good, especially freestyle

* Rock of Ages was great

* Staff was above average, but seemed tired

* we had overall a good time

 

Cons:  Generally, the space was very crammed and I wonder if they took away public spaces for more cabins...

* Fitness club very small (compared to Epic)

* Le Bistro (the best restaurant) situated in a closet space

* Bliss was too small

 

Again, overall a good trip but I would have been clausterphobic had I gone for more than 2 nights.  Can't  imagine the 12 day cruises on this ship...  Won't go on it again.  I would recommend the Epic.
