Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Norwegian Breakaway

The breakaway is a beautiful ship. The crew made sure it was clean, however our room attendant did not do a good job. We got an inside cabin for 4 and it was insanely small. We have had inside rooms but this was by the far the smallest. The food was okay. We were disappointed because Shanghaiss never had any availability. Never got the chance to eat at the diner and when we tried the menu

Cabin: Very quiet, only heard noise from our neighbors because they used their balcony consistently. View down was of the lifeboats. Not on the same side as the piers to watch the late runners. Balconies were small compared to other ships we have been on. Bathroom was nice and big, but do not think the “Club” aspect was worthwhile. The bottle of sparkling wine was nice but the snacks were a

For full context about my cruising experience, this is my first cruise since I was a teenager (roughly 17 years ago) and my partner's first cruise ever, so alot of our review was based off of this being a new experience for us both.Embarkation in Seward: Very smooth. We did arrive pretty late in the day due to getting a later bus into Seward but we were through in under 5 minutes. Safety took

First I must say the staff on this cruise was GREAT!!! Unfortunately, they are working on a poorly designed ship. All areas of entertainment are far too small. The Stardust Theater only supplied entertainment every other night. If you were not at port and were not interested in gambling or playing "Wheel of Fortune" then you were simply out of luck most of the time. When they would have a

• Age 20s

Good housekeeping, clean rooms, and clean buffet. Shows and food are pretty average, not the best. There was not much entertainment, pretty boring to my standards. The Elements show was underwhelming, only the stage effects was what made it worth watching. Plenty of times the meat is overdone. Asian cuisine only has 3-4 dishes, and only several dishes in the buffet section. Generally, the buffet

7th cruise on NCL, which can officially be named my favourite cruise line (been on RCI, Celebrity, MSC and Costa). So my review might be a bit biased. But, as always a great time onboard and a hard time on this last evening knowing tomorow morning is the time we (almost) all dread : disembarkation. The Escape is a very nice ship, very clean and modern. Well maintainend, but it's kind of a new ship

• Age 30s

The negative reviews are 100% factual and accurate with the exception of the long food lines. The food lines did move very quickly, but the menu lacked in variety daily. It was the exact same breakfast every single day and the lunch and dinner were all derivatives of the exact same thing. There was a severe lack of accommodation for those that don’t eat pork, beef, or meat at all. When I asked

• Age 50s

We were previously on NCL Sky back in 2018 and had a good time so when we saw it was headed for a major refurbishment and update in early 2024, we started looking for deals and found a great one for an early May 3 day cruise. Having just cruised NCL Joy, one of their new ships, and NCL Jade in the summer, we were super impressed that all of the public areas and even cabins were updated to match

NCL Jade was classic cruising. Karaoke, buffets, pina coladas by the pool, trivia, piano players, cigar bar, night club on top deck, main dining room, excursions on port stops, private island, shows in the theater. My only criticism is that I didn’t love the food in the Alizar dining room. But the Jade had specialty dining and a 24 hour sports bar, and I got great food at both. With the
