Breakaway - crown for holiday sailing

[robbykapnj]

Hi,

 

We sailed the Anthem last holiday season with our family - grown kids ages 18-24. If we switch it up and try the Breakaway this year - can we expect a decent group of families with college aged kids give or take and not just younger families? Does a Breakaway sailing for the holidays attract families from the tri-state area primarily? Or does it get a lot of foreigners visiting New York around this time of year? Anthem was mostly families but the 10 nighter lacked families with college-aged kids and there were only 30-35 in this group for our kids to meet and hang out with.

 

Also - what's there to do ont he cold sea days given there's no indoor pool or solarian or large promenade / 260 type lounge?

 

Thanks!

The ports are 14 miles apart, for me it takes the same amount of time to get to either. I would expect the demographics to be the same. Both of my older kids attend N.J. Universities, and the semester ends right before Christmas, I don’t know if that has anything to do with the low numbers you experienced. NCL does have young adult meet ups every night, and you can sign wavers for 18 - 20 years olds to drink beer and wine.

Before you decide on the Breakaway out of NY over Christmas College break. If you are looking at next year.

Either Anthem (repeat) or Breakaway would be for this holiday season. Thanks!

The Breakaway may have a slightly younger demographic. A few more activities for the "kids". And the Breakaway will have a more casual feel. We have sailed on the Anthem and the Breakaway this year. I would vote for the Breakaway.
