This was a fun cruise, but nothing special. However, the price was right. We enjoyed it, and still managed to gain weight. I felt like most of the time we entertained ourselves as the things that were listed as activities were "sale of bingo cards" or jewelry sale in the jewelry store.

main dining room was nothing special. But the buffet was good. Words I never thought I would say...the french fries are delicious.
Onboard Activities

pools, we really enjoyed the ropes course. The Breakaway has a nice walking deck on 8.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Keith Bender was a very funny comedian! And he did NOT rely on foul language or talking about sex. We laughed really hard, and loved how he acted out what he's saying. We didn't like the girl comedian (I think her name was Crystal); she was just boring or vulgar or both.
Burn the Floor was terrific, but it was only at the end of the cruise.
We attended some of the game shows. Some were good, but most were mediocre.
The movie was fun, but should have been shown in the theater or somewhere quieter.
The schedule felt like it was full of stuff that you have to pay for, instead of fun activities.
And we only had a good song and dance show on the last night. We played a lot of cards to entertain ourselves.
I wish they would include more educational information about the ports. Not just where to shop.
They kept changing the time, but I felt like it was not clearly communicated. Nor did they change the physical clocks on board accordingly. They should have had a channel on the tv with just the time and information about changing them. We had so many conversations about what time it was.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
We had a smell in our stateroom, and our room steward worked so hard trying to get rid of it.
We also had numerous problems with our toilet, but they would come to fix it so fast. And they didn't even have to come in the room to fix the toilet.

roomier than we expected. very clean. We had an ongoing problem with an odor but they were working so hard to figure it out. And lots of people followed up with us to make sure it was okay.
Ship tip
deck 8 had a great walking track for those that like to get their steps in. Try the french fries the first day you are there. We thought the buffet was better than the dining rooms. Do the ropes course early in the cruise.
Thank you for the review on N Breakaway, am going in December, so I am reading every last one, sorry about the odor and toilet problems, this ship was just refurbished 3 years ago, am hoping that I don't have problems, am glad to hear that the buffet is good, and especially the fries
Love to hear people say that the buffet was good. I read that so many complain about it. In my opinion, it’s really good buffet food. I set that expectation for myself. Yes, the fries are amazing!
