I would 100% recommend NCL! I have been on 4 of their ships now, and I love each and every one of them!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Everything went smoothly - the Haven area in New Orleans port was underwhelming, but nice. The Concierge woman told us we could go to our rooms right away but they were still cleaning all the rooms when we got there, and the cleaning staff looked at us funny. Otherwise, it was a smooth process.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Manhattan Room was great - service was a litttle slow, but it was very busy. Haven restaurant was amazing as usual and all the servers are so nice!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Never went in the main pool - Haven pool was very small, but never used it. Hot tubs in the Haven were great.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Burn the Floor is an amazing show that no one should miss!

My daughter loves the teen clubs on the ship, and meets friends from all over!
Service and Staff

Room Steward was super nice and did a great job. Our Butler in the Haven wasn't the greatest, but we didn't need him a lot. Everyone else was fantastic!

We love everything about the Breakaway!
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin was amazing, plenty of room and closet space for the 3 of us. Only complaint was the water wasn't hot enough for the first few days - i had to get maintenance to fix that. and the fridge wasn't that cold at all. I never mentioned that problem to anyone. Other than those 2 minor things, we loved our room!!! Didn't want to leave it!
The whole city smelled like pot. Dirty in a lot of areas. I have no desire to visit there ever. It was a nightmare getting from Harrah's Casino to the Port, and it wasn't that far.
