had a very enjoyable cruise. Unfortunately, the weather was not the best, but mother nature can't be directed as much as we would like. The shore excursions were excellent.

Pros: Staff was attentive and courteous. Everyone was friendly, saw lots of smiles

Cons: Show more movies and live stage performances

This was a fantastic cruise that we will do again. The Haven was outstanding. The service was great, the food was way above expectations, and they pampered you always. This was one of the best ships we have ever traveled on.

Pros: The crew made you feel like you were wanted and needed.

I will focus on the ship as shore excursions will vary by group and need. I am fulltime single father traveling with my teenage son and his best friend. There was plenty for us to do together and separate. Syd Norman's Pour House, The show Burn the Floor, comedy show, magic show, dueling pianos were all the best entertainment nightly. The show "Six" was not bad, but it was not my cup of tea. My boys were not at all into it and we would have preferred to watch Burn the Floor a second time or another show. After the shows the boys would go back to the room and I headed out for some night life. I love to dance and while I was not looking at this as a singles cruise I found a couple of people to socialize with and dance with until 2am when the clubs closed. Club H2O was the go to and both the latin night and Glow Party night were awesome. It would end at 11:30pm at which point everyone would go to the Bliss club until 2am. Day time activities including the art auctions, finding a chair on the sun deck, slides, high ropes, etc. were all spectacular. I am in finance and so did not have an issue with how billing works daily in the cruise app. However, lines at the service counter were long as I asked and most people would be constantly confused about their bills. The staff were amazing in all areas (dining, bartending, housekeeping, etc). Super friendly, always looking out for the littlest thing you may need. 3:1 ratio definitely works and we never went without. My boys pointed out how their waters would be refilled within 2 minutes of being empty. We made a game of it and confirmed. The staff is on top of things on this ship!! Already booked my next cruise with Norwegian. That should tell you everything.

Pros: Dining Options, water slides, Bars everywhere, Music clubs, Service Staff, Thermal Spa, Art Auctions

Cons: The show "Six", on board account billing statements

The Breakaway does not do particularly well with crosswinds. And we had two days of high winds. Low ceilings, dark paneling, and narrow passageways make the ship seem crowded. Given the large number of passengers on the ship there are relatively limited pools and hot tubs. Boarding was rather chaotic, slowed by extra security introduced to ensure passengers with recent travels to China didn't board. The entertainment was very good, though there was little dancing during convenient times. Musicians were talented, though the band in Syd's Pour House need to learn that volume is in direct opposition to music quality. I doubt more than half a dozen people on the ship understood the history behind "Six". The comedians did a fine job. The mainstage performance by Syd's Pour House band was so loud the performance lasted three stanzas for us. There was little "upscale" food like lobster, shrimp, salmon, steaks, escargots outside of the specialty dining restaurants. Perhaps to encourage people to eat there. Service was exceptional by both the stateroom stewards, wait staff, and hostesses, particularly in the Manhattan and Savor restaurants/ One thing that I noticed is that information was available only if it was asked about. The welcome-back party was announced only 5 minutes before the event was held. Elite-tier events, if they were held, were not announced nor invitations offered. Although tendering tickets were given, it did not appear that they were used. Tender boats were filled by one large line.

Pros: Service, entertainment

Cons: Embarkation, food variety
