Liked the itinerary. Ship staff very good, ship getting a bit worn down overall. Would still recommend.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Waited a bit longer than other cruises. Had a time assigned and it still took a good hour and a half to actually get on the ship. Not a comfortable waiting area at the port.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Complimentary dining very good overall. Specialty dining even better.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Pools are overpacked as they always seem to be on cruise ships. Joined the Vibe club which was very nice, bartenders very personable and nice to have an area not overcrowded.
Vibe Beach Club
4 out of 5
Second ship we’ve paid for the Vibe club. Bartender Lynn was excellent, knew our names and likes in beverages. Biggest benefit is you have a not so crowded environment and don’t have to fight for bar service. The layout is not as nice on the Breakaway as the Vibe on the Encore which we did a year ago. Still a great experience, will never do NCL without joining Vibe again!
Entertainment
5 out of 5
“Burn the Floor” was amazing. Talented dancers. Dueling piano’s were great also.

Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Design is a bit older. Vibe for example only gives a view of one side of ship, with antiquated cabanas that look like from a space ship movie from the 70’s. Common areas all seemed pretty clean, no complaints there. Pool space very tight.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Used to small size of cruise cabins so used to that. Balcony seemed quite small, and my husband wished the balcony glass was cleaner then it was. He actually tried to clean it himself it bothered him so much.
Ship tip
Join the Vibe, well worth the extra money to have a more comfortable area especially on at sea days.
Went smoothly. Did self carry of luggage so we could get out as quick as possible. Quite a bit of walking on the path they direct you on, saw some elderly passengers really struggling with the long walk during the process.
