Review summary

We loved NCI Breakaway! It is all ages and the All Inclusive Package was great...the ship is very clean and has lots to do!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We self-embarked (kept our luggage) and it was fairly easy, but does require walking.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We did tours in St. Thomas, Dominica and the Out-Island...and loved them. I do suggest that you book the first tour of the day with Swimming with the Pigs on the out Island.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Howl at the Moon was outstanding (we saw it twice)! Six and Burn the Floor are wonderful shows!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
No complaints here--all excellent!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We received the best service ever!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We traveled NCI because they are known for their cleanliness and care...especially during Covid!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We booked a Family Inside Cabin, and I would get the non-family inside cabin the next time since we did not need the overhead bunks. The rooms are small, but clean and enough storage for us...since we use the room to shower and sleep.

Ship tip

We did not realize there is a $16 fee per person per day--we had purchased the All Inclusive Package and we thought all tips were included. We ended up purchasing the larger package for WiFi, too, since we use our Smartphones alot.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
They have everything down to a science. We got there early, and the lines seemed really long, but it moves along fast.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We took a tour here, and the guide was very knowledgeable about the area on the bus.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
This area was disappointing, but they still are recovering from a Hurricane about 4 years ago.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
Beautiful Island--be ready to walk--the city is spread-out. We did not take a tour here.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did tour Swimming with the Pigs. I do suggest taking the first tour of the day--the water sediments gets stirred-up and cloudy for later tours. Great photo opt! We got on the shuttle boat late as we did not know people with tours go first; however, we still made it on time to eat and get a drink.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We took our luggage with us--be prepared to walk...but they do have it organized.

Hello! Thanks for posting this. We are headed out next week on the same cruise. So excited. How crowded was the ship? And was there Indian food served?
