Review summary

Sailed out of NYC 11/22 thru NY Harbor past the Statue of Liberty--- a gorgeous site for sure!

Positive comments--

Nice cruise for families and great non-stop activities for everyone especially the children.

Great entertainment and friendly helpful staff. Excellent food in main dining rooms

Excellent show of Fire and Ice, Howl at the Moon and Cirque Fantasy Dinner Show--highly recommend seeing all of them.

 

Negative comments--no variety in food at the buffets--same every day.

Too many announcements daily by the Cruise Director.

Very little soundproofing between rooms and decks.

Uncomfortable seats in the theater--there was a space at the back making it uncomfortable

Overall nice cruise

nice comfortable cabin no soundproofing so heard noises from deck chairs and ping pong tables on deck 15 above us passengers in deck next to us smoked on their balcony which was not allowed but deterred us from enjoying our balcony when they were on theirs

Ship tip

The Cirque Fantasy Dinner Show was SUPERB! Highly recommend it--get in line early to get a good seat. Did not stop at Great Stirrup Cay due to bad weather conditions so that was a disappointment

Ports of call

Jan 3, 2016 will be my second time on the Breakaway to the S. Caribbean.  Loved everything about the first time (Jan 2015) except the extremely loud noise (music, video, movies, announcements) in the Reception area.  It was very difficult to converse with the crew members manning the reception area counters.  I was hoping that eventually the decibel level would be lowered, but it was constant for the whole 12 days.

Has anyone else had that same complaint?  Has the ship turned it down in the last year?

we left Nov 15th I agree with you. But I think the cruise catered to gamblers and smokers .
