The only problem is the majority of the cabins are for 2 people. Very few for 3 (my PCC sent me a list). Even though the 3rd person is ok with a sofa bed I was just trying to make a point. The main reason a handicapped cabin is needed is for a walk in shower. We are in a mini suite because it has a walk in.  I was just very surprised they built a ship this size with so few cabins either handicapped or with walk in showers. 

As I was looking for a handicapped cabin on the Encore I noticed they are forward and aft, some being all the way aft. It makes no sense to build a ship of this size with handicapped cabins not even by an elevator. They also don’t have many at all that will hold 3 passengers. I don’t think I am the only one that thinks this is crazy!

The shower/tub combination was standard for mini suites on the Jewel class ships. On the Breakaway plus  class ships the shower/tub combination is available in family mini-suites. The other mini suites have the walk-in showers.

 

Another option to consider is booking a mini suite that accommodates four passengers. This gives you the option of using the pullman berth for the third passenger. Doing this leaves the sofa available for use at all times. If the third passenger were amenable this will make the space much more functional.

Thanks, definitely something to look into.

Stayed in a midship mini-suite on the Escape (2018) & midship Balcony on the Breakaway (2016).  The only difference was the nice size shower in the bathroom of the min-suite...very minimal cabin/balcony size differences.  

Stayed in a midship mini-suite on the Gem (2017) & the bathroom had a combo shower/tub...was not impressed with the mini-suite especially the very small 22” TV!!!

Planning a cruise on the Bliss in a Haven Forward Facing Suite (4/2020) to experience a separate bedroom/livingroom cabin.  Won a bid upgrade for a H5 Haven Courtyard Penthouse on the Escape (2019) & once you go Haven it becomes hard to go back to non-Haven cabin.  Good thing I cruise once a year because Haven prices are getting ridiculous!!!

 

We have always stayed in the Haven. This is going to be a girls cruise and my one friends needs a walk-in shower not tub shower combo. The Encore Haven is very high priced and since it the girls and no hubbys we were trying to make it more cost effective. Thanks and enjoy the Haven. 

We are thinking about booking the Encore for June 2020.  3 adults and was wondering if anyone has had an experience with a balcony cabin MA. Will 3 adults be tight?  Thanks in advance. 

Always cruise NCL and just get it through them but am wondering if there is something more reasonable out there. Thanks in advance

AdoraBelle, not sure if you are talking about the BA, but if you are the prices may be higher due to the Americas Cup being held in Bermuda in 2017. I think they start in May and run through July!!

Hope you enjoyed your cruise. We will be leaving in 2 was from Sunday and will be in a Haven Aft. Would love to see some pics. Not sure what deck you were on. How did you find the walk to the Haven?

You are going to love it ENJOY!!!

My son proposed to his now wife no the Breakaway in June of 2012. With the help of Julie, the cruise director. It was done in LeBistro. The table was set up where my daughter-in -law could not see anything coming from the kitchen. When they brought dessert they put hers down last. What they did was on a large white square plate in chocolate they wrote "will you marry me"!!!! It was AWESOME. Then she told them that she was taking the plate home LOL!!

We also just returned from the Breakaway yesterday. We had perfect weather, sail away was some rain but seemed to stop as we passed The Statue of Libery and the Verazano Bridge. Had a few storms Saturday but no big deal. Horseshoe Bay is beautiful, but Jelly Fish were bad. A girl got stung and they took her for medical attention. I heard they were poisonous. We were booked in a suite and we have been before, (we were upgraded once & seems we can't go back LOL). We have had a few different Concierges, they have all been good but Anoop has to be one of the best. He was really awesome!! Can't wait to go back, we have this same cruise booked for next year with friends.

Looking to book the Canada/New England Cruise out of New York for this year. Wondering if anyone has any info on what one of the better weeks to go is. I know no one will know when the leaves turn but I am sure that 1 wk is better than another. Thanks in advance for any and all help!!

Thanks for sharing your awesome pictures. We love the Breakaway and will be sailing in a suite again in June can't wait. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of camera were you using. Your pictures are so perfect.

We are booked in the Haven on the Breakaway in June our sailing also went up over $1000.00 we would lose our OBC so I think we will stay right where we are with our $300.00 OBCLL HAPPY CRUSING to all :)

What about Hawaii, beside macadamia nuts. Thanks

Thanks for the advise we usually don't but there is a first time for everything!!

Any pictures of this suite would be appreciated. We have it booked for next June. This will be our 3rd time on the Breakaway but the other 2 were both in Spa Suites, after reading up on that suite I was a little disappointed to see the balcony so small compared to some of the other ships??? Thanks in advance for any info...

Great experience!! We went in last year, I think it was $20.00 and you were entitled to 2 drinks. Everything is made out of ice. The bar, chair even the glasses. We are also going in 2 wks hope you have a great time....

Thanks Tumblew467 I will look there!!

Thanks to everyone for responding:

McCutie, I am very happy that Adrian was there for you and hope everything worked out with your medical emergency!!

EileenN, With everything I have been hearing I will be disappointed if Adrian is not on the Breakaway for the June 8 sailing......

Last year we were escorted to the Cirque show early but no ohter shows. There is a seperate area in the theater for suite guests to sit. We wre in a Spa Suite last year and the same this year, I am not sure about the higher suites.

Thanks for your quick response

We will be on the Breakaway in June and was wondering if anyone can tell me if the Concierge is Adrian Bica/Assistant Concierge: Elvina (tis is what I found searching the boards). If so how are they. We have never had either one of them, but he ones we did have were very good!! Thanks in advance for your help!

Thought and prayers going out to your daughter. Stay strong as a family!!

GeriC you said you were in a balcony mini suite in cabin 14742 isn't that a suite??? That is the cabin we are booked in & it states it is a spa suite??? Just curious, if that is the cabin was there a couch or a small table and chairs??
