Review summary

On that ship they try to sell more things than others, all is about money. The coordination is poor, activities are worst and yes, is bigger, but not about activities, you have the same common areas for entertainment but it is bigger because there are more customers desk so.....much more people, is that better? absolutely not. I prefer to dont be on a ship crowed on my vacations, and that is definitely worst on the Norweigan Breakaway

Embarkation

Embarkation not as bad as desembarkation. They kick you from the ship, and anyway if they call you because you have book a time for desembarkation, you have to wait more than an hour outside with the could.

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
That was absolutely horrible. No taste, always cold and taking so long time at the restaurants to serve the dinner that it is the same quality that the buffet food.... We were crazy to come back home and eat something better.

O'Sheehan's Neighborhood Bar and Grille

That was the best restaurant at the ship for eat something, but can you eat the same food for long? hamburguers....nachos....not so good but better than the other places.

Pool

Bigger ship with smaller pools? yes, it is difficult to image that but it is. Nothing to add

The worst activity that i have never been in a cruise. Poor spectacles and repeating many days with the same. You pay more for a 12 days cruise, but they dont spend more in quality shows, just the use the same shows for 7 days in 12 days. So pooooooorrrrrrr

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was the best thing of the ship at least.

Ship tip

Do not go on this cruise thinking to enjoy about the ship, only because the ports of call. Food, entertainment and other things on this ship are really bad and you will enjoy much more on other cruises

Ports of call

New York, New York

I am afraid that I have to disagree on this one. I too am not a fan of the large ships and I do prefer the smaller ones however, I too was on Breakaway on the cruise that was immediately following this one and I have a number of meals in the MDR and all were excellent. Yes the ship is large and there are a lot of people. That is by design. But I found the food always hot and of a very good quality in all food venues on the ship and I have seen other reviews for the exact same cruise as this one that have the same opinion as I do.

I tried a mega ship on a line that I liked....... I felt the same as you did. I just happen to like the older smaller ships better then the Mega liners. In my opinion to get a good meal on NCL you have to go to the premium extra pay restaurants, the Steak house, French and Sushi were good on NCL, The MDR was bad on NCL.
