Without the package the cover charge for Cagney’s was $30 and Teppenyaki’s was $25 per person. I thought the speciality dining package was a good deal – at $119 per person on our cruise you could dine at a speciality restaurant each night. There were so many specialty restaurants to choose from on the Breakaway that we did not have near enough meals to experience them all. The steak lovers in our party loved their dinners here, and I enjoyed my fish entree. The other speciality restaurant we gave high marks to was Cagney’s Steakhouse. We still recommend making a reservation in advance to insure you have a meal at this unique and excellent restaurant. That helps some with availability – I saw open dining times here most nights if you were available to dine early or late. The Breakaway’s Teppenyaki room is larger, with more tables, than what we’ve seen on other NCL ships. The portions were huge (I had three servings of fried rice!) and my grilled shrimp was excellent. We found the Teppenyaki dining on the Breakaway just as good as what we had on NCL’s Pride of America earlier this year. As this short video shows, NCL’s Teppenyaki room features an entertaining chef grilling your dinner for you right at your table: My favorite speciality restaurant, and a must for us to dine at on every NCL cruise we take, is the Teppenyaki dining room. While I thought the food there was acceptable, where NCL really shines is in its speciality restaurants (each with a cover charge). ![]() We had a different approach to NCL dining – we only ate at a freestyle dining room one night. One cruiser we talked to said he dined in a freestyle dining room every night, the food was good, and there was never a wait to be seated. Much like dining at a Chilis back home, when you show up at one of the Breakaway’s three “freestyle”, complimentary dining rooms you are seated at the first available table. NCL pioneered the “flexible” dining concept on cruises, where passengers can choose what time they want to eat dinner. Given her large size the Breakaway has lots to offer. At 144,000 tons it is approximately the same size as the Royal Caribbean Voyager Class ships (we had sailed on RCCL’s Voyager Class Mariner of the Seas three times before). The Norwegian Breakaway first sailed in April 2013. Similar to our Hawaii cruise, we really liked the NCL experience! After a wonderful Hawaii cruise on the Pride of America in June we looked forward to sailing on one of NCL’s newest ships, the Norwegian Breakaway, on a 7 night Bermuda voyage from New York. With contributions from Travel Agent Anne LarisonĢ014 marked the first time we had cruised on an NCL ship in over 10 years. The NCL Breakaway just scored a 99 out of 100 from the CDC for cleanliness.By Tim Larison, CLIA Certified Master Cruise Counselor (MCC) ![]() After being on NCL during the Coronavirus breakout, I can personally attest that they are taking every precaution for their guests, including not allowing guests to serve themselves in the buffet, or refill individual bottles of water. To date, I have been on 19 cruises, a mix of NCL, Carnival and Royal Caribbean. If you're wondering what side I am on, I am currently trying to figure out how many cruises I can book this year. I'm watching people on multiple Facebook groups freak out, or in reverse choose to book a cruise on a whim because rates are the lowest we will ever see. There are ships being denied access to port. On Sunday night, the state department released a warning, urging US citizens not to travel by cruise ship. However, it didn't feel right writing a recap on the most amazing cruise I've been on without addressing what is going on. This blog post is not about the Coronavirus, or my personal opinion on the current state of the travel industry. I stalled on writing this recap, as the week we returned home, the first USA Coronavirus was recorded. Two weeks ago, my best friend Keri and I returned home from our annual girls cruise on the Norwegian Breakaway. ![]()
