I have to believe the Breakaway is going to be more $$ no ?

[mlogan177]

its not much more then the gem

[HUBison2008]

We're having this debate as well. Breakaway isn't much more than our Epic sailing, plus we don't have to fly we can take a bus. If the price isn't much more, I would take Breakaway.

Breakaway is a 7-day cruise, Gem is 9. Thus, the Gem is "cheaper" per day. If the itinerary doesn't matter, I guess the next question would be whether you prefer a longer or shorter cruise.

 

It's a tough call. I prefer a more port intense cruise but would like the flashy, new ship. Hey, I'm a guy! :p You on the other hand, may not care as long as you're on a cruise.

 

Decisions, decisions. Good luck with whatever you decide. :)

The Breakaway is a flashy ship with different attractions,but take a look at the oceanview rooms,the picture window is high up,can't see view from the bed and looks like the seating is the desk chair only. This is for 7 days $1,200 plus tax. The Gem is 9 days,large picture window,can sit on bed and have a view,Gem,for better ports & 2 extra days at a good price. I'm waiting for a lower price on Breakaway,my deciding thing will be price,low is great

If the price were comparable, I would go for the Breakaway.

Something to think about is the impact on your vacation days, if applicable. We looked at this cruise and we decided against it due to the amount of vacation DH would use. Since we go up the day before we would've used almost 2 weeks of vacation. DH only gets two and I get three.

We like the smaller ships, like the Gem.

[HUBison2008]

OP, did you make a decision?

 

We officially switched to Breakaway if that helps :-)

[ibcnusoon]

We were booked on the Gem for March, but switched to the Breakaway in November. We paid about the same for the Breakaway (balcony 7 night) and the Gem (oceanview 9 night).

 

We're looking forward to exploring a new ship!
