Review summary

Absolute worst cruise ever and this was my 9th one. stay away!

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Walked for 50 min with luggage could not find entrance, then found a side entrance and had no idea there was a place we could drop off luggage

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
horrible, tasteless, bland- they obviously want you to buy the optional restaurant food

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
fitness centre was so small and packed, no matter what time I could not get access!!! Rained almost everyday so could not run the track - literally all I could do is walk the floors.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

So disorganized. They did not call by colour- waits were an hour long. Honestly the worst experience this cruise.

Thanks for sharing your cruise with us.

We've been on the Breakaway twice. Never had this experience. Was it perfect? no, but it's what you make of it. Don't be scared by a few reviews out of thousands who cruised. It's usually the downers or people who truly had a bad experience that write reviews.

Msstephie. We took our first cruise on the breakaway. And after booking read many of the bad reviews and got scared. Was everything absolutely perfect? NO but if you go anywhere with that expectation you will be disappointed. I am taking my 5th and 6th Ncl cruise this year. It's your vacation. Go in with the attitude that this is my vacation and I will have a great time.

Can you give some specific examples? I'm scheduled to sail on the Breakaway for New Year's 2020 with friends. Was there anything positive? I usually sail Princess and I admit your review has me nervous.

Sadly I have to agree with this review. Breakaway was the worst cruise ship we have ever been on. I also cannot think of anything positive to say about it either. Have been on almost 20 cruises and loved all except breakaway. It really was that bad

Seems like a bitter, miserable person who wouldn’t be happy or satisfied anywhere.

A review like this is not helpful to anyone trying to make an intelligent decision, not one positive!

You are hard to please since you complained about everything.
