Review summary

There is something to do on the ship every single day! In my opinion, cruising is the ONLY way to vacation.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We are Platinum with Norwegian, so embarkation is immediate when we arrive to check in.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All the food was great. We ate in the Main Dining room, The Spe salty Steak house, the Buffet, O'Shenans pub and Specialty Restaurant Ocean Blue.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We got to go swimming 5 out of 7 days, thanks to some amazing weather! We saw the show "Burn the Floor" twice!!! We saw both comedians and we LOVED Howl at the Moon. Only visited the casino 2 x.... because they don't pay out like a regular casino...... or maybe we are all just unlucky in THAT casino.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Exceptional!

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
We used Splash Academy 3 evenings, 1 late night, and 3 afternoons. The staff is amazing!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
You really can't praise them enough. Such a dedicated group of people. All they want to do, is take care of making sure you are 100% happy!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Although the Breakaway has been around for a few years, it still looks great!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The balcony was disappointing because it was so small.

Ship tip

Make reservations for the main dining room. The lines get longer as the week progresses. If you made reservations.... you walk past the line and go right to the hostess, who will send you forward to be seated immediately!

Ports of call

Portland, Maine

Balconies on the fore of the ship.. we had 8812, are larger at no extra cost! It's got 2 chairs and a table AND two sun loungers.
