saslis Posted March 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'd love your pros & cons on these ships. Either embarkation port works for us. Considering these for an anniversary cruise. Interested in least smoke, most outdoor space, restaurants & shows. Thanks for your insight ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted March 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Dawn will have more outdoor space per passenger per-se. They are quite different ships, the BA is new a mega ship with lots of bells and whistles like ropes course, shows, etc. BA gets regular complaints about smoke in the atrium area. Dawn just went through an extensive drydock and looks pretty nice. If you can wait until 2018 the Escape will be doing Bermuda from NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted March 29, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The Breakaway is in port during the Harbor nights street festivals on Wednesdays. It's also a mega ship with mega more to see and do. The Dawn is an older ship with "classic" activities and entertainment. Yes, the ship got a makeover (and we have sailed on her since the makeover). The garish colors and decorations have been replaced by more contemporary, neutral decor. We prefer the Breakaway will actually be cruising to Bermuda in a few weeks on the Breakaway.

You forgot to include they play a lot of Neil Diamond as a pro. And I think the trip we were on together didn't they have the Neil Diamond singer on board? I seem to remember him and saw him around the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BostonGal35 Posted March 29, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Breakaway. you get more time in Bermuda, and you are there for Wednesday night which is the harbor festival. Both ships are nice, and we generally prefer the smaller ships, but love Breakaway and this itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
