What Travelers Say About Norwegian Breakaway
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Norwegian Breakaway sailing. Distilled from 500 traveler threads, passenger reviews and travel blogs.
Norwegian Breakaway, a 2013 Breakaway-class ship for roughly 3,900 guests at double occupancy, made its name as a big, energetic, freestyle-cruising vessel sailing year-round from New York. Its signature feature is The Waterfront, an oceanfront boardwalk where restaurants and bars open onto the sea, paired with an action-packed top deck of two Aqua Parks, waterslides and a towering ropes course. The vibe is lively and family-friendly rather than refined, and a 2020 and 2025 refurbishment have kept the ship feeling current.
What People Love
- The Haven is a genuine ship-within-a-ship: private pool, lounge, restaurant and an expanded Deck 17 sun deck with cabanas that stays quiet and feels like a separate luxury vessel
- The Waterfront oceanfront boardwalk is a standout, letting you eat and drink at railings overlooking the sea rather than being boxed inside
- Strong specialty dining, with the new Palomar Mediterranean seafood venue described by reviewers as a seafood-lover's paradise and an enlarged Cagney's Steakhouse
Common Complaints
- The Garden Cafe buffet draws habitual lines and feels cramped and tight on seating when the ship sails full
- Crowding is a recurring complaint, with guests reporting lines for entertainment and not enough seating for popular shows
- Food and service quality are inconsistent across the ship, a frequent theme in mixed reviews
