Review summary

I love NCL and I’m a platinum member. I’ve sailed on the Breakaway before but this was the worst experience I’ve ever had. They need to stop the sailings on this ship so they can revamp her. They have bed bugs and the toilet system Needs to be fixed.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

This cabin had bed bugs!!!! I’ve read about the ship having bed bugs and I came with spray but the spray wore off towards the end of the cruise. I got bitten terribly!! The toilets stopped working many times throughout our journey on the entire floor. This caused backups and terrible smells throughout the entire ship.

Ship tip

I love NCL but don’t recommend this ship

That’s too bad about the bed bugs. You can be very clean and still get them. Thanks for sharing

This is the first time I have seen the words "bed bugs" mentioned in cruise posts It concerns me greatly as I am sailing on her in December and am booked on the same floor/level!!!
