And dont forget O'Sheenans. We usually didnt make reservations at Taste or Savor but then again we usually ate later in the evening and it wasn't that crowded.

Three complimentary restaurants are taste, savor and Manhattan. They have the same menus. We like taste and savor, Manhattan room tables the tables seem close to each other. But we did enjoy the show Burn the Floor during dinner there.

Pilotvova. We purposely sailed off season--right after everyone returned to school. I can only imagine what the ship must be like during peak travel times. We felt the Breakaway was a cross among a mall, amusement park and sports bar. People like different things; Norwegian is not for us.

Ejan, don"t hate NCL yet. Give them another chance. Try The Haven next time. Much quite and "less people"â¦ Or try to go off season. Labor day weekend usually very good time. Not that many kids. Good luck.

Ejan - thanks for the reply. Makes much more sense. Better luck on your next cruise.

GIL. We found that because of the number of passengers and the congestion, the noise level of this ship was, indeed, very loud. There seemed to be no place to get away from the din. Even the library was loud because it was next to the atrium. The noise level is the main reason my husband will not sail with Norwegian again.

Loud? Ship noises or fellow passengers being loud?

What dining rooms did you go too? We usually later in the evening to either Taste or Savor and never have any problems.
