Review summary

This was a great cruise. The NCL Breakaway is a nice ship and our balcony room was great. We enjoyed the buffet and the meals in the dining room. We loved the variety of the desserts in the dining room. The staff were helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed the Rock of Ages and Burn the Floor shows. The performers were fantastic singers and dancers. We were able to sit in the first few rows in the theatre to really enjoy the shows up close. We visited New Orleans, two ports in Mexico and also Belize on the cruise. There were many good excursions to choose from and we enjoyed the two that we chose: Dolphin Encounter and Chacchoben Ruins. One thing that could be improved upon is when in port, people going on an excursion should be let off first. It makes it easier for people who need to catch an excursion. Also better instructions for which floor to exit on.
