This was my second cruise on NCL Breakaway and with some changes since 2013 , overall it is a great ship.
As we approached the pier at about 11 am ,we noticed it was very hard to get our luggage to the carts. People were still disembarking from the previous cruise. The pier was very crowded and we had to ask where to go, even though we sailed from this pier many times before. It was much more complicated and confusing since our first sailing in 2013. Once we got the information we needed, things started running more smoothly as we boarded the ship.
Our friends met us at the garden café for lunch. After lunch, we went to make reservations for the comedy show and then our rooms were ready. I was very pleased with my room and loved the angled balcony. I was in a BD category on the 9th floor, room number 9736. This room was very quiet at night. I loved the view from my balcony and spent a lot of time on it. I had a family of five next door to me and the room was still quiet and I can say this was probably the first cruise I got a full nights sleep every night. Ncl provided a small box fan, since I'm used to sleeping with a fan on. The beds are worn with indentations, I'm glad I brought a body pillow to fill in the empty space.
This room is fantastic with an extra large angled balcony . Room is quiet but long walk to the buffet and other places.
