Review summary

This was my second time on the breakaway. I had a great time but there were several major turnoffs that would probably prevent me from going back on again.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

the toilet was temperamental the entire week. Each morning I would have to get the room steward Jeanette to flush the toilet. and I used the handicapped bathroom on Deck 16 twice a day for number 2. it was completely annoying, caused me anxiety and I am completely unhappy about it.

Ship tip

Its a beautiful ship with an incredible staff.

Debarkation: unfortunately 99% of the issues with a bad disembarking is out of NCL's (or cruise line) control. Beginning on the ship, NCL makes available color coded tags that if passengers followed would be crowded but orderly..... however as I'm sure you witnessed.... people doing self help off the ship who had no business doing it with 5 luggages, a stroller with a 5 month old in it, 2 more kids under the age of 10 who "need" to have their cute carryon luggage that is falling over and who when getting to security to leave the ship don't have their room keys with them..... then when they finally get down the gangway they struggle down the skinny escalator...... that's bottle neck number 1...... while they back up everyone else, back on the ship you have yellow cutting in line way before their color is called and others making their own path defeating the purpose of the roped area..... finally off the ship, you have that escalator holding things up again so the line is backed up in the rain and freezing cold..... then you get to your luggage and everything is a mess because everyone buys black luggage so they all look alike.... oh, then customs has 4 officers available to process 3500 passengers......

Great ship and staff. Food was excellent. Cabin could not have been better. Weather was really bad, but still had a great time.
