Review summary

The Thermal Spa was great - we had a pass for the entire week - and on a full cruise ship of 3500+ it is a great way to escape the crowds.  The staff was wonderful - but that time of the year is not the best to travel.  I did not plan the vacation - it was a family gathering, but I would not travel that week in the future, and definitely not on a ship that size.

embarkation and disembarkation are a BREEZE - went much more smoothly than I anticipated

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5
Kennedy Space Center was good - but we really had only 3 hours there total and it was very crowded.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

1 out of 5
Did not get to go - weather did not cooperate

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Atlantis is CROWDED and VERY EXPENSIVE - lunch for three at the pool side bar (hamburgers and a wrap) was $50+

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

No fireworks needed.  a fire on a ship that size would be catastrophic.  Cant wait to spend 3 weeks of the winter on that badboy in dec/january.   I agree the time of year makes a huge difference in the level you can enjoy the ship.  We go in the off peak times...no kids/families to annoy us...we prefer the older crowd and french canadians, adorable.

Hi lynds82..... if you click on a person's avatar, it will pull up their past and future cruises.... as long as they populate it truthfully it helps understand some threads.

When did you go?

tenderness0072    8 years ago

I loved my time on the breakaway. Going again April 24th.

I'm confused..... the only real negative was the time of year to travel that actually had nothing to do with the Breakaway.... is the 3 stars for the ship and your family planner minus 2 stars??
