I rather have more days in Bermuda than on the Breakaway.

Review summary

The ship itself is huge. The rooms were clean but I think there are too many rooms and not enough to do on the ship. Unless you had a reservation, sit down and premium restaurants were overcrowded with waits. The buffet would shut down a side every time which would overcrowd the side serving meals.The premium dining rooms such as Cagneys, Moderno Churrascaria, and  Teppanyaki Restaurant were excellent. I highly recommend them. There was an awesome rope course but it was only open at certain times (even on nice days) which lead to overcrowding. They did have an "Escape Room" which wasn't a room but it was still entertaining. We were unable to make a Spa appointment on day 2. Probably the only saving grace on this ship was beverage package the Maltings Bar. The staff there was excellent and remembered who I was from day one. The only reason I'm giving this review a good is because I enjoyed Bermuda so much. So if you want to go to Bermuda and don't mind being bored at sea then this cruise is for you.

Few little games. Tons of non entertaining meetings about your back what you should do about it.

Service and Staff

Aside from the Maltings Bar staff, I had some issues with staff at meals which lead to long wait times for food and drinks.

My room steward was good with making the bed and our request for more towels. The last two nights we did not receive a day planner or towel animal.

Ship tip

Maltings Bar is the bar you want to go to that is never overcrowded. The buffet is better than waiting to be seated or eat at the Manhattan Room, Taste or Savor.
