Review summary

We loved the NCL Breakaway so much we had to try the sister ship that was newer and cruising out of Miami. Since we are not locals of Florida; we took the chance to stay a night in South Beach and enjoy the atmosphere and culture. It was a great start to our cruise and I highly recommend it if anyone is flying in from out of state. The check in process was smooth, and we were on the ship pretty early. Everything was familiar as we had been on the Breakaway with a few differences. One difference that stood out to us is the sugarcane mojito bar which was a daily favorite (we had received the unlimited drink package). We also didn't see too many reviews regarding Food Republic; but even though it's a la carte pricing; the food was so good and worth the cheap -in comparison to NYC- price tags. We did get sick on the ship for a day but it passed after 24 hours and were not sure what had caused it as we were sick different days and made sure to stay in our rooms until we were better. However that was 2 separate days one of us was taking care of the other and losing time doing stuff. The ship was lively, but it wasn't as ecstatic and upbeat as the Breakaway. Staff members were still a delight but we did find that there was less things enthusiasm on the ship but tried to check out what interested us (i.e. The karaoke bar which had 9 people including us at peak hour). However we did cruise at the end of January. Nonetheless she's a great ship with great amenities and comfort and again, I can to relax, and enjoy the time off work by being off the grid and giving myself some needed me time. I can't wait for my next cruise!
