Review summary

Our first transatlantic, was OK. Did truly enjoy the first 1/3, the other days were a bit taxing. As weather was a bit nasty, most time on ship was indoors.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
All meal venues were very crowded.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Due to weather, most time was spent inside. For a transatlantic, seemed to be a bit lacking in daytime (and night time) activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were good, not much variety.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff were excellent, a bit understaffed causing some delays.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was a bit cramped. If I ever do a transatlantic again, will get a larger cabin.

Love your detailed review! Great pointers ~ ❣️Ocean Blue not only onboard The Breakaway, but across the NCL fleet where this restaurant hosts. Absolutely delicious! Glad you had a good time & yes, could not agree more ~ a larger cabin & balcony just puts a little “bow tie” in our cruising experience. Happy Cruising 🤩⚓️😎❣️‼️
