Thanks for the information. I will be going on my first Cunard trip soon and was hoping there is a knitting group. Last summer I was on a Crystal cruise and joined the group daily. We had a great time. Everyone shared their knowledge and I learned a few new things.

On Cunard cruises they have special knitting meet up events!

Thank you for your review. My son and I will be taking the same cruise soon. This will be our fourth Disney cruise.

Embarkation day is always crazy and I want to know if there is a quiet, out of the way place to eat since I know the buffet will be crowded and seating will be at a premium.

I recommend the main dining.

I have never had any problems. Any luggage that was searched had the locks back in place when I received them. There was always a note inside telling me the bags had been searched.

I suggest Disney Cruise Line and get connecting rooms.

My son and I booked late for a Disney cruise and had a guarantee rate. We didn't care where the cabin was as long as we were on the ship. We got a great inside room with plenty of room for the two of us. I will do a guarantee rate again.

Inside rooms are cheaper and the darkness is great for naps and a sound sleep. There is enough room since we spend very little time in the cabin. I can afford to go on more cruises by getting inside rooms.

I also enjoy an inside room. It is so nice and dark which is great for a sound sleep or nap. There is plenty of room considering I spend very little time in the room.

Thank you for all your time and wonderful information. I am putting this thread in my favorites.

Facebook and Twitter :)

I encourage you to ask questions to trigger my memory.

Also if you sailed in this voyage and have something to add, please do so =).

This will be my first time reviewing a brand new ship!

I have a ton of information that I would like to share with you all!

Including: Dailies, Documents, Menus, Wine/Drink lists, tips and much more.

But more than that I have a story to tell and a vacation to share.

I hope everyone enjoys the ride ^_^

 

We invite you to come with us and experience "The Beautiful Norwegian Breakaway!"

 

 

 

 

I would like to start by dedicating this review in the loving memory of Kev, "luv2cruise53", fellow CC member and review writer. His witty and outgoing personality brought laughs and joy to many here in Cruise Critic. I remember finding his review when I was looking for information about Bermuda and I was immediately hooked into his storytelling method. I got to know him through his posts and thought of him like a friend. In order to keep his spirit alive, I am posting the link of his wonderful review. If you have some free time, please stop by his review and enjoy it. Here is the link: Review of NCL Star to Bermuda. May he rest in peace next to his beloved partner. You will always be remembered, Kevin.

 

 

 

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? I am a 29 year old guy (I will forever be 29, ok! ;)) traveling with his mom. As some of you have probably figured out by now my bf is not very keen about cruising, so for now it is just my mom and I.

 

We are new to cruising and so far we have been on X, NCL and RCCL. We are currently on our plan of traveling on every cruise line within our price range to find which one suits us the most. However, I tend to get bored when I do the same thing over and over again, and this is why I think I will never settle for a specific cruise line. Only time will tell.

 

This is my third time around writing a fully detailed guide to a cruise ship. First, I wrote a short review of the Norwegian Sky. It was my first cruise and I did not go into deep details within the report. My first detailed review was the Allure of the Seas Review. I am very proud of this review and I think it was the main reason for getting into writing reviews. My second report was the X Silhouette Review. It was a great cruise that was unfortunately impacted by very bad weather during almost the entire voyage. This was also the first time that Gambee realized he had grown his sea legs :D. Now I will try to bring you aboard Breakaway and let you experience the magic of NCL from the comfort of your home or office (most likely office, I hope you can get some work done during these following weeks ;)).

 

I have also expanded and I now have both Facebook and Twitter accounts dedicated to cruising. The Facebook is mainly for those who just like looking at my pictures. It is easier to do so from there, so please feel free to friend request me. For the Twitter account, I plan on doing LIVE updates and such. Feel free to join me there too =).

 

 

 

I will start from where I left off..

 

Like I said, we traveled on the Allure on November 4, 2012. After I got home, I started the review immediately, and it took me roughly 2 weeks to complete it. Writing it was as much fun as the cruise itself and I am eternally thankful for everyone that was a part of it. After I was done with the review, the cruise blues started to hit me. Although the review kept me entertained for some time, once it was finished, I was starting to get bored.

 

 

And what better way to cure the blues than to start looking for another?

 

 

Thanks for the pictures and information about the studio room. It was exactly what I was looking for.

The infamous shower door that just "banged" into my neighbor's cabin....

 

 

This is also an issue as it could break the mirror that's on the door.

 

Lots of people asked me if you could see into the portholes of the cabins. The short answer is "no". I think those portholes were more for "effect" than they were to look into or out of (although, for some reason, they did have shades).

 

 

Here's a look across the hall from my cabin door's "Peep hole"...

 

I want to know if the Lanai room is just as nice as a balcony room. I realize Lanai rooms open onto a public deck. Is the deck crowded or will I enjoy sitting outside my room as well as having a balcony room?

Thanks for the help.

Wow!! I am very impressed with the list and the time you took to research and post it. Thank you very much for your time and effort. I am printing it off as I write. It is an excellent reference list.
