Straight forward

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Not enough information regarding Gluten Free foods and not enough substantial choices.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not Enough room for the volume of people to join in or watch.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Performers were great, but often repeated to accommodate volume of passengers. Could do with more, but not enough venue space.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Waiters were so busy, they were not able to provide the best service we have experienced on other ships, room steward perfect, other staff regularly greeted us

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Well maintained and clean

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Bed a bit hard for us but not a real problem, have experienced more comfortable ones, constant noise in the wall when sea was rough. Very clean.

Ship tip

Facilities and ship are more suited for Families and particularly younger children, they even take over the adult restricted areas, I would not recommend it for couples.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

2 out of 5
Fabulous BUT You need to experience it a few days before sailing, their isn’t an opportunity to enjoy it when you embark and disembark from this port.

Cozumel, Mexico

My boyfriend and I went on the Breakaway twice and we loved it. We’re going on the Escape in May...can’t wait.
