Ship Quality

Casino needs to be at the end of the ship!!! Smoke was awful!!! Needs to have separate area for Casino smokers.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Seemed just a little small. Glad we had a balcony.

Ship tip

Ask questions for clarity and details. Some programs we didn't know about or see any info printed. For example, wine tasting. Plus when we found out about, wasn't told the charge. Figured it was complimentary.

Overall, good. Crazy all the weaving around, but I know it's hard getting so many people disembarked.

Thanks! Quite a few people have mentioned the smoke from the casino on Breakaway. Looking forward to being on this ship for first time next year.

We recently sailed with Royal Caribbean cruise for the first time and thought it was OK; we expected more. We like the food better on NCL.

Expectation high, but sadly disappointed

Staff was overwhelmed. Ship has 22 bars but on 2-3 were open at any time & poorly staffed. The $200 onboard credit was not used for all onboard charges so the $226 bill was unexpected. Diner & show reservations were not honored.

Overbooked and Understaffed
