Review summary

Although the cruise was far from perfect, we had a great time and are looking forward to our next cruise.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Chaotic

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The specialty restaurants were great, both service and food. The secondary dining rooms, the Irish pub, Savor and Taste, were overwhelmed at lunch, the main dining room was not open. Lunch should have been better.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The only adult pool was very crowded, the entertainment was good but the service was slow.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Some of the best stage shows I’ve seen on a cruise, outstanding.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Room steward was great, waiters and other ship personnel were overworked.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship looked fine but we both tested positive for Covid the day we got home.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Typical balcony cabin, not really a suite. Great shower and bathroom space for a cruise.

Ship tip

We chose the Breakaway because we could easily drive to the port. That made it worth the sacrifices. The sail away program was worth the extra cost.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

2 out of 5
Very crowded, 5 ships were docked for our half day. It would have been better to just stay on the ship.

Harvest Caye, Belize

5 out of 5
Fantastic private island, safe, clean and well designed.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

2 out of 5
Felt unsafe the whole time, poorly designed port access.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Great port, my how it’s grown! The people were very nice and aware that they were hosting guests and treated cruise passengers as such.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy walk off!
