Review summary

I have been on the Breakaway 2 other times and this ship was good overall. Food and drinks were excellent. No problems in that department. Syd Norman's band performances (Rumors by Fleetwood Mac) were awesome but you will struggle to get in to get a seat so you must line up at least an hour before showtime. It rained incessantly for the majority of the cruise but ship areas were clean and games/shows/trivia kept me plenty busy if I wanted to attend. Slept a lot and enjoyed the much needed rest. Looking forward to cruising next year or 2024 again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Long time to wait to get on the ship. Almost an hour in the terminal. Not sure if my tier status meant much.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

All was good except the noise at night. This was a rocky cruise and at night it sounded like the walls of the cabin were going to fall down. Very noisy and distracting.
