Review summary

I booked this cruise as a birthday getaway - booze cruise. Overall the cruise was a blast. My only compliant is a bit too many people pool side which made it very difficult to enjoy it. If you are looking for a nice short getaway, I would suggest this itinerary and cruise line.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was excellent. Bar service was slow but good. Buffet areas are always crowded.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pool area on the Breakaway is way too small for the number of guest. I did like the ropes course and the the sun decks, especially when others were in Port.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Burn the Floor was fantastic, comedian was very good, Rumors band was excellent. Negative was that it was so crowded at times we could not get into a show.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Overall service was excellent.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was clean, but I was surprised no actually people to dish out the hand sanitizer.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was a very good size and it was clean.

Ship tip

Be prepared to be with an enourmous amount of people poolside and to wait for drinks. The ship is very nice but the common areas cannot handle the loads of people.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
I live north of Miami so don't judge on my opinion.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
I've been to Nassau several times and I passed on leaving the ship.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
I was pleasantly surprised on how nice the private island was. The buffet was excellent and the drinks were tasty.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
I always do a walk off with my luggage. It was easy enough, but again lots of people.

The poolside is always swapped. NCL does not do a time limit and allows people to reserve chairs with the towels. We need to start complaining
