Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Included dining rooms were wonderful. Great service and food was excellent. Speciality restaurants ( Teppanyaki, Q, and Cagney’s) were all terrific.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Race track was bumpier then on Bliss but still lots of fun. Daughters did laser tag and enjoyed it.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

I have to give low rating because I strongly disagree with removing Spice H2O. I’ve really enjoyed that space on other Breakaway class ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

When I booked our cruise I selected deck 15 to be close to the action. It turns out 15776 was a little too close to the action. Our room was directly under the stage next to the pool. It was loud up until 11PM. No one to blame but myself. Failed to check the layout of the ship. Other than that room was nice and steward was great to us.
