After spending a few days on the Norwegian Breakaway, I thought it would be nice to share my onboard service review, and what I believe you can expect from future cruises. Before you book a vacation, and more importantly choose a cruise ship, it’s important to speak with your travel agent about the style of service you can expect to receive onboard, as well as the right environment to go with your vacation needs. Hopefully, the following review of the Boarding Process/Service, Room/Cleaning Service, Restaurant Service and Casino Service will assist you in your future cruising plans. [Read more →]

Innovation is the name of the game when it comes to cruising, and nowhere is it more present than on Norwegian Cruise Line. This contemporary cruise line has been innovating for years and with each new update they make all in the industry sit up and take note. Next month they will debut their brand new 4,000 passenger Breakaway and you can expect nothing less than an exciting ship with enviable features.

Here is an overview of how Norwegian Cruise Line has innovated in the past, and what to look forward to on their latest ship, the Breakaway.

Food
Norwegian Cruise Line championed the idea of “freestyle” cruising allowing passengers to choose from a wide selection of specialty restaurants, the buffet or formal dining room. With freestyle dining, passengers were no longer tied to an assigned dining time or the same tablemates.

On the Breakaway, Norwegian is opening up their restaurants to the ocean. The ship will feature The Waterfront, which is a quarter mile long boardwalk where the specialty restaurants onboard will offer al fresco dining. [Read more →]

The Norwegian Breakaway will be christened in May by a set of New York icons. No, not celebrities or intellectuals, the ship is going to be christened by the Rockettes.

The Rockettes are Radio City Musical Hall’s troupe of high-kicking dancers. This famous group of women have been a staple at Radio City since 1932. They have also become a part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, where they have performed every year since 1957. [Read more →]

If you’ve been on a Norwegian cruise to the Bahamas or the Caribbean, you have probably stopped for a day at Great Stirrup Cay, the cruise line’s private island. While there you can soak up the sun on the beach, swim in crystal clear water and of course enjoy some tasty barbecue. It’s truly a blissful experience, but now the experience can be even more luxurious with the island’s new cabanas. [Read more →]

Not since “The Love Boat” have cruise ships gotten so much screen time. Lifetime Network will be premiering a new dating reality series, “Love for Sail,” which takes place on three of Norwegian Cruise Line’s ships. The show will premiere on Tuesday, April 10, 2012, at 10 pm ET/PT.

In each episode of “Love for Sail,” four women looking for love will board a Norwegian Cruise Line ship, either Epic, Pearl or Star and set sail to exotic locations surrounded by a group of equally-eager single men ready to embark on what they hope to be the voyage of their lives.

“We are thrilled to work with Lifetime … on a unique series that showcases the many aspects of cruising from lavish suites and incredible dining options to innovative on board activities and exciting shore excursions,” said Kevin Sheehan, Norwegian Cruise Line’s chief executive officer. “There is such romance in being at sea; this show will do a great job of showcasing that and sharing the stories of these guests who may find the love of their life aboard.” [Read more →]
