Sail Date: Mar 2018
Cabin: Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

we were going with a group of family members whom most ended up cancelling at the last minute. It was going to be a group of 30 of us and ended up being a group of 6 of us. All Adults.

We upgraded from a balcony to a mini suite and was disappointed. The only difference was a bigger bathroom with big shower. We could hear our neighbors on both sides of us. I could even tell you what they were doing for the day cause we heard them talking through the walls.

The ship was very crowded. Dining was ok. We did 3 specialty Restaurants, the dining rooms, The buffet, & O'sheehans (which ended up being our favorite). Service was not not good at all. we would be seated at our tables and have long waits until a waiter came over to us. There was hair in our food in one of the main dining rooms. We asked for something and they would say that they would bring it right over and we would never receive it. We bought the photo package and struggled to use it. The only times our photo were taken was when we were getting on the ship and in port at Florida. No photos were taken at Nassau when we got off. Also none at any of the dining rooms. Never even seen the photographer taking snap shot photos. One of our specialty meals was at Tappenyaki, where they took at photo. However, they said that we had to buy it that it was not included in the photo package! We were on the Getaway on Nov 2017 and had professional photos taken with the backdrops, so when it came to taking these pictures on the Breakaway it turned out that all of the backdrops and props were all of the same. Why would I want all of the same photos again? So we got 4 pictures out of the photo package that I purchased cause no more were ever taken. Those where the only photos taken of us. I went to the Photo Dept Manager and he said that he could not do anything for me that I would have to take the loss if I didn't want the same pictures. I was very unhappy with his attitude and the situation.

don't waste your money on a mini suite cause the only thing different is a bigger bathroom and shower.

Port Reviews

Nassau

we just walked. went to the straw market and walked around the outsides of Atlantis because you can not get in there anymore unless you purchase a very expensive day pass.

around and went to cabbage beach which was very nice.

New York (Manhattan)

we walked around NYC and our husbands went to the Garden to see the fights.
