Bahamas Round-trip, 22 November 2025 (8 nights)

The Breakaway was a large ship with plenty of entertainment areas. The issue was that the entertainment areas were small compared to the number of passengers so you had to get to each venue early. The variety of entertainment was hit and miss. The cruise dancers were excellent the individual acts were mediocre. The cabin was good and had a glass shower, always a bonus. These were made up one a day. The food was good in the speciality restaurant but repetitious in the main dinning room. The cruise was excellent value for money. No transfers included.

Had a lovely cruise the food and crew were all great but there is a but we had paid for the more at sea package to cover drinks ect but once on board we were told every drink purchased would be subject to a 10% tax this had been implemented by the spannish government we ended up having a 198 dollar balance because of this we think the cruise line should have absorbed this extra cost Not good enough NCL

The flight and transfer were included in our package and were well organised when we landed into Barcelona. Boarding was painless and we were on within 20 minutes of arriving at the port. Our room on deck 5 was really nice- modern style and a very comfortable bed. Well located too for bars and amenities. We didn’t like the top deck- the pool area layout is poor and creates bottlenecks - hot tubs were few and far between and people stayed in them for hours- literally 2-3 hours at a time! On a 10 day holiday, we got to use them once!! The food was quite average and not as good as previous NCL cruises we’ve done. Staff were excellent in all areas of the boat (bars, restaurants , entertainment, housekeeping etc) they work so hard to make sure your holiday is good. For us the best part of the holiday was the itinerary- it was jam packed with ports and exactly what we wanted to get some sun and see lots of places. I think going forward we’ll probably stick to smaller ships- they do lack the shiny stuff like water slides and race tracks etc. but they are on the whole better for food and that’s important for us. I would recommend this cruise to anyone wanting to do a lot of ports in their 10 day holiday- for that it was 100% worth it.

We had a suite in the Haven which is very special and the service is exceptional. There is a private lounge, sun deck and restaurant. EVERYTHING is priority. There is no loud compulsory music and there is a tranquil atmosphere. The rest of the ship is far too loud and very packed, and the massive casino is the focal point of most of one deck. The staff throughout are magnificent and welcoming. Ports of call and excursions are of course itinerary dependant, but all excursions are very expensive.
