Review summary

This was our seventh Transatlantic cruise and the worst yet because of Breakaway. This ship is only good for warm weather cruising with very little entertainment other than the two preregister shows. We don't recommend Breakaway for anything but a Caribbean cruise.

We enjoyed our time on Breakaway for our Baltic Cruise this summer. We’re not super into shows, but what we had was good for us. We were lucky enough to have Vox Fortura who were so incredible we saw them twice. Our biggest disappointment was the food and the buffet setup which were both inferior to Royal. That being said, we still had an amazing time.

A really great cruise!
We always enjoy cruising but there were items that we feel need attention.
