ennazus Posted March 6, 2016 #26 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Today I hit the spa for a Pick 6 package. Love these. What is the Pick 6 package? Thanks! I'm enjoying your review! :) oops found the answer as I continued reading: The pick 6 is something they don't always publicize. They list 6 things (mini facial, eye treatment, head & neck massage, scalp massage, hand massage, foot massage). And you can pick some or all for like $100 -$150.

khaide612 Posted March 7, 2016 Author #27 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Some final thoughts... I've done a lot of NCL Jewel class cruises and love those ships but the Breakaway is beautiful. I don't like having to reserve things & can imagine the frustration people might experience if they weren't travelling alone & had to try to reserve shows for a family. However, there are so many other options for entertainment & live music that you can just walk into that missing some shows did not affect my cruise. The standby line for Headliners Comedy was never that long - I walked past a few times & though I had no real desire to attend, I was told that after people are seated you could basically walk in & grab a seat. I do like the fact that there are so many options for dining - paid & inclusive. I read a review by a fellow cruiser who was worried they would wander into one of the "exclusive" venues but I never felt that way at all. The options are there and you don't need to use them. My onboard account was limited to spa treatments & 2 cruise rewards & 97 cents for tax on my drinks before sail away. I got by without spending any money on food, bingo, deal or no deal. I bought nothing in the shops onboard and did not go to the art auction (which I usually sit through just to see the pretty pictures & laugh at what they want to charge for them & get the free champagne & the small picture they give you for attending). My cubicle has all those free pictures hung all over to give it some color. I would definitely cruise the Breakaway again - even with the large family/friends groups I usually travel with.

alexmom Posted March 8, 2016 #28 Share Posted March 8, 2016 It was important to me to read through several solo cruising reviews since I'm doing it in February 2017. I've got to say, I enjoyed yours most of all. I'll be sailing on Getaway but enough things are the same to give me a much clearer picture than I had before. I'm kind of bummed about the clear shower doors in the Thermal Spa but I think I'm even more bummed that there are only 2 showers in the Ladies locker room ! Have a great life, kiddo, until your next cruise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great life, kiddo, until your next cruise ! Thanks so much!!! I wasn't in the locker room long but I'm pretty sure there were more than 2 showers on Breakaway & they didn't have clear doors. I just asked my sister who did Thermal Spa on Getaway this past summer & she said they spa showers did not have clear doors. You are going to have such a good time. I'm already talking to people I met about doing another one - though 2 of us already have a trip to Disney Marathon weekend in January. Funny the people you meet that you've been travelling with for years without knowing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNC FAN 80 Posted October 26, 2017 #30 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Fun times. Thanks Everyone! Tuesday - Port Khaideveral There was a solo meet up at 11am to see if anyone wanted to go do anything together. I slept through that meeting so cannot report back. When I finally got up and ready, I grabbed tea from the lounge. I'm not a coffee drinker but that machine in the lounge is great. So much so that various officers and staff would be in there throughout the day. I would grab a tea in the morning and some iced water at night. I grabbed a quick lunch in the buffet. Today I hit the spa for a Pick 6 package. Love these. After and before I hung by the pool area. It was more crowded than I expected but not "crowded" really. I took a few naps by the pool in between hot tub visits. Did a lot more exploring around the ship. There was no formal solo meet up so I eventually showered and changed and had dinner in the buffet. Sat on the Waterfront for awhile and made some calls/texts/checked on work and emails. Later I met up with some CC roll call guys and we talked and drank and danced and had the shortest cabin crawl ever. Another late fun night!!
