Review summary

We just completed the 7-Day Western Carribean on the Breakaway - The pros outweigh the cons by far... The staff and hospitality was absolutely outstanding! The ship is lovely in itself. The rooms are clean, comfy and well appointed. The casino was a lot of fun and the buffet was top notch. The adult bars and decks are incredible and the SHOWS ARE AWESOME!!! ... HOWEVER, be prepared to spend AT LEAST an extra $1,500 or more to really do anything else because EVERYTHING costs extra! And nobody tells you. It's hidden in the language of the 25 papers you get daily! We were disappointed in that. You'll pay through the nose to get to do anything. The free stuff is mostly for kids and teens. And pack your lightweight clothes because this ship is hotter than the 7th circle of hell! Miserably hot. And you won't get your room cooled off ever, so don't count on sleeping well. And forget the pool unless you are willing to fight kids and early birds for a place. It's jam packed after 10:00 in the morning. We will be cruising again, but likely not on Norweigan.
