I am a Norwegian fan so I really enjoyed this cruise. Because of the limited capacity there were rarely more than 2 people in the elevators and lots of chairs to sun. There were rarely any lines so it was enjoyable. The crew is always so friendly and encouraging to washy washy even before the pandemic. This was my 17th cruise and I was really ready to cruise again so myself, my son, my granddaughter and another granddaughter and her husband enjoyed every minute.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
We heard on the news the night before that the Breakaway had covid. We debated about going. The CDC held the ship up until late because of this so it took a lot longer than normal to even get moving. It was announced that we would get a full refund if we chose not to go and we had to wear a mask during the cruise and be tested two more times during cruise. We decided to go for it because we knew occupancy was cut way back. Some were very angry but our viewpoint was that the ship would probably be cleaner than ever and having done several Norwegian cruises I knew they were already cleaning constantly.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We ate at Teppanyaki one night. It was amazing as always. We were very impressed with the options available on the buffet as two of our group are vegan. They loved it. I thought the salads and flavor of the food was excellent as well as the variety. I never ate at the dining room but others in our group did and enjoyed it.
Onboard Activities

We always enjoy the hot tubs but they could be a little warmer.

Ship tip
I had sailed on the Breakaway 3 years ago and I love this ship.
I thought you were not allowed to venture on your own with NCL. How were they allowed to go a beach resort? I wanted to go to a Resort in Puerta Valluarta but can't. ☹
