Sail date: April 28, 2019

Ship: Norwegian Breakaway

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Couple

Review summary

A great cruise with Norwegian. I was very happy and will cruise with Norwegian again, however not on "Breakaway" due to the design of the awning over the life boats running the entire length of deck 8. This prevents most of the balconies on this boat from looking down at the water.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and efficent, less than 45 minutes from car to ship

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Every meal was perfect, the choices were the hardest part. Evening entertainment in the Manhattan room (Main dining) was a very nice touch to dinner. Drink package was awesome, and the buffet always there, with great food.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Casino and evening show in theater were great!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Ship shows were very good, especially the dancers. I did think the magician and comedians did not hold the audience attention well.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was very polite, courteous and professional. Very happy with the crew.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was very clean and spotless. This was very evident when in port next to another ship, the Norwegian appeared much cleaner and nicer. My only complaint with layout was there is a covered awning over the lifeboats on deck 8, the total blocks the view of the water from balcony rooms above. For this reason, I will never sail on the Breakaway again, but I will sail with Norwegian as long as this feature is not on the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very happy with the size and cleanliness of our cabin. Again very dissapointed with the balcony room looking over the awning.

Ship tip

Verify the view from your balcony room, you may not be able to see the water.

Ports of call

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Did the excursion for Secret Unergound River. The best excursion I have ever been on. Don't miss this one, it is fantastic. The staff was awesome, but the underground cavers were spectacular. Again, I highly recomment this excursion!

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
The only bad point of the trip. A huge crowd that totally grid locked deck 7 and the elevators for a hour. It appeared to be a very unsafe condition.

It’s not an awning for lifeboats, it is the cover of the Waterfront

Sorry I should have read my post first! Meant you and life boats.

Glad toy had a good trip. We were on the Breakaway in April on deck 15, much better view and the life boats are not in the way. Was on the Bliss twice, life boosts are under/ in the ship and not an obstruction.
