Norwegian Breakaway
The Norwegian Breakaway transforms the cruise experience, creating a more resort-like atmosphere for entertainment and dining. While this trend has been adopted by other cruise lines, Norwegian Breakaway led the way, surpassing rivals with its wealth of restaurants, shows, and entertainment venues. During our week-long voyage, it felt akin to a bustling stay at a high-end Las Vegas resort, with the ship's identity only evident when admiring the sea.
Our time on the Norwegian Breakaway was a delight, offering an abundance of activities, the only downside being the inability to try them all due to the sheer variety. The ship's deck plans are intelligently laid out, segregating public areas from cabins, ensuring peaceful nights for most guests. Decks 10, 11, and 12 provide tranquility away from bustling public spots, while even the Haven suite complex on decks 15 through 17 maintains a serene atmosphere despite sharing common areas.
Restaurants are strategically positioned across different decks, facilitating easy dining access from anywhere on the ship. Additionally, for those preferring cabin meals, 24-hour room service is available at a fixed rate. When it comes to the entertainment on our newest ships, you won't believe your eyes or even your ears. Bask in the bright lights of Broadway with performances like Burn the Floor. Sing along at Howl At The Moon. Then tickle your funny bone with hilarious comedic performances
