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

Review summary

Our cruise was excellent. Our room, the Owners Suite was perfect. Our Butler, Choi, and Room Stewardess Maria were outstanding. The weather was poor, but we still enjoyed the cruise. Food could not have been better. Our favorite entertainment was Melvin Henry. Cannot wait to hear him again on our cruise 1/5/18. We love the Breakaway.

I thought it was just the english that encouraged the class system. Still it must sound good to friends back home to say " oh we had a butler" Lol

They bring you anything at all you want. Put table lot on for dining. Keeps free soft drinks and beer stocked. Brought us three bottles of liquor to the room. Great to have
