Review summary

Rude concierge & too many un supervised small kid's, had to up grade to make the best of it. having cruised with Carnival once , Royal Caribbean 2 times & Celebrity a few times. will not be going back on a Norwegian cruise again. Ship is nothing special. free style cruising means you are free to up grade, I now call them NO Rwegian.

Wow, was on the Breakaway one week before, loved it, not even in haven either! I guess some people are not into cruising!

Sounds like cruising may not be for you. Many love it, but it’s not for everyone.
