Norwegian Breakaway Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We always enjoy cruising. This cruise ship is not well designed to handle crowds. Too much smoking indoors.

We had a very nice time. I was a little concerned when I went to the bar two days before we were home and they told us they were out of our beer of choice. We finally found a bar that had it but that wasn’t easy.

Embarkation and the first port day were chaotic and confusing that I was starting to think cruising wasn't going to be for me. The trick is to plan less and jus go with the flow. Yeah you might miss out on most of the shows, but at least you're not stressed about it.

Very good overall. Four time changes is crazy, they could not keep up with changing their clocks and it is not client friendly to keep changing. They should use ship's time. The Safety briefing on the 2nd week of our trip was a disaster. It was a repeat of the safety video that we had already watched three times. It took almost 1/2 hour to start and there were not enough seats in our section ((A-1). 25 people had to stand. We took an excursion to the Mayan ruins out of Harvest Caye. The tour guides where great but it was advertised as 4 1/2 hours but took 6 1/4. Lunch was not until 2 pm, many unhappy about that. Dave & Jeanette Fitton

All of the staff deserve a raise!! We had a very full ship and they worked very hard to keep things going smoothly. Thank you Breakaway crew!

It was a nice getaway. The warm weather renewed us while we sipped on great drinks. Friendly and helpful staff. Many food options. Price was reasonable.

verry, verry loud ship. not much pool chair space. most of deck taken up with activities. wine on basic package unacceptable, if wine drinker, upgrade! liquor was good though. very hard to get into specialty dining, hard to make reservations and even when said none available, the restaurants were only half full. latitudes program useless, no special number or representative onboard. no phone service took messages, spent long, long time listening to phones ring until someone answered

This was the worst cruise I have ever been on. From the waste of money with the priority boarding, to the salt room being out of order, the shows not being available, and the shortened port times, it was incredibly disappointing. We treated my mother and my aunt to this cruise and were excited for them to see why we enjoy cruising so much. Unfortunately it was not a good experience and they don't understand the appeal of cruising.

We were very pleased overall with this cruise! We enjoyed the ship and there were a lot of activities to keep everyone busy. Entertainment was very good, enjoyed the shows and the Dueling Piano performances. H20/Spice is a great venue for the night time parties. Staff was friendly and all worked very hard. We saw a few passengers complaining about minimal things, but people...you're on vacation, let it go and enjoy. We booked this cruise knowing that we would not be getting off on several of the ports and enjoyed the quietness of the ship during those days. Take some time to enjoy the Waterfront. We paid for the show Velvet which was extra but well worth it. We also paid to go in the Ice Bar which was pretty cool. Overall this was a very good cruise and we enjoyed ourselves!

Although the cruise was far from perfect, we had a great time and are looking forward to our next cruise.

We had a blast at our temporary home away from home. There was never a dull moment, and the service was superb! Can’t wait for the next trip!

Don't think I will ever sail Norwegian out of New Orleans again

Disappointing. Disappointing. Disappointing. Disappointing. VERY Disappointing.

The weather really dampened our trip which of course is not in NCL’s control. However I do wish the cruise line had been better prepared to handle all the people who had to stay indoors on the ship by adding activities or entertainment options throughout the day as a plan B since almost no one got off in the rain at each port. Or better yet, changing the itinerary if possible to avoid the weather.

I have been on the Breakaway 2 other times and this ship was good overall. Food and drinks were excellent. No problems in that department. Syd Norman's band performances (Rumors by Fleetwood Mac) were awesome but you will struggle to get in to get a seat so you must line up at least an hour before showtime. It rained incessantly for the majority of the cruise but ship areas were clean and games/shows/trivia kept me plenty busy if I wanted to attend. Slept a lot and enjoyed the much needed rest. Looking forward to cruising next year or 2024 again.

Honestly, I won’t cruise with NCL ever again. It was the worst experience I’ve ever had with a cruise from beginning til the end.

If this is how you are normally treated on a cruise we will never be traveling again

This is our 5th Cruise and I will never Cruise with any other Company! NCL is the Best!

If this is how you are normally treated on a cruise we will never be traveling again

Although we enjoyed our cruise, the experience and customer service was definitely not on par with our prior cruises. Also a lot of hidden charges that frustrated me.
