The Breakaway is a good ship. The staff is good. The time of year is possibly problematic.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
The ship had run in to bad weather before docking and was delayed. We were about five hours behind as a result.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
All restaurants were satisfactory and some were very good. Cagney's Steakhouse was one of our favorites as well as La Cucina. For a non speciality restaurant The Manhattan Room was very good. It offers live entertainment on certain nights, be sure to get a reservation for those nights.

The

The live entertainment in the main show room was usually first rate. Obviously this depends on what you enjoy watching.
Children's Programs

We did not use.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
The wait staff in the Haven Restaurant were great. The are the best. Our room steward was nice but not as attentive to detail as we have experienced in the past. Our butler was helpful. The concierge staff especially David was what you would want in the Haven.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The elevators are often crowed and slow. This is true on any ship at times but especially difficult when your room is on the sixteenth floor. This is inconvenient but not a major flaw. The ship was always clean and easy to maneuver in.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We enjoyed a two bedroom suite in the Haven. The balcony is a bit small but adequate. If you can stay in the Haven it is worth it.
Ship tip
O'Sheeahns Pub is great for snacks or smaller meals. The Escape Room adventure was just okay. It was fun but I think they could have put more thought in to it.
We did excursions on our own. The self guide tour of Grand Central Terminal was educational and entertaining. We saw " Come from Away", A good broadway play. I highly recommend it.The Escape Room NYC was great fun.
