Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main Dining Room food was very good. Some of the fish dishes could have used more sauce as they tended to be dry but over-all the food was good. The buffet has something for everyone and was very good as well. The specialty restaurants that we ate in, Cagney's and La Bistro were superb.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Very good. Six was very good but the general consensus was that no one could really understand or hear the voices over the music. Burn the Floor was exceptional. The magic act was very entertaining. I would recommend seeing them all.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone had a perpetual smile on their face and were very accomodating.

Ship Quality

This was a great place to walk around. An easy walk all around town. the store prices were reasonable and the people were very friendly.

Steep inclines and really nothing to see if you wanted to walk around yourself which we did in all the ports.

Thank you for your review. We truly enjoyed all the Breakaway had to offer last October. We rarely take excursions opting to enjoy the ship while others are enjoying to ports. Glad you had an enjoyable cruise.
