Review summary

All in all, we had a nice time. The Breakaway is a large ship and crowd management is important to the overall experience. The chair saving by the poor continues to be a problem leaving many chairs empty for extended periods of time with many people unable to fing a seat.

Embarkation

OK….a bit spoiled by walking right onto a Princess ship, but not a bad wait.

Very full ship, so seats by the pool and in the Atrium were at a premium.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The entertainment was OK…many good music options with a great Burn the Floor dance show. The fitness center did not open the last day.
