Just saw an article called the 8 nastiest cruise ships, Breakaway was listed #6 with a 3/10/19 inspection score of 84.  Not good news.

Depends how you look at it.  Now it is likely clean but was nasty in Feb/Mar

The CDC inspected the Breakaway in February, and the ship has corrected the problems. You can find the report on the CDC website. There were 20+ violations with some of them being processes not followed for sick employees (paperwork issues) to serious health violations like the scotch flight board having cracked varnish on the bottom that might let bacteria into it (the hand washing of it with a bleach solution wasn't documented properly or something). Fruit flies were found in one restaurant, and the pH monitor on the spas was malfunctioning, giving a different reading than the manual tests. Food was left in a warming case overnight to be discarded in the morning. That sort of thing.

 

The CDC didn't comment on cleanliness in the public areas like we do. I guess we equate dirty public areas to lack of attention to detail, and we fear that lack of attention to detail will extend to the areas we can't see.

Ship was still in bad condition (objectively--lingering food spills in hallways, buffet hand-washing stations becoming overflow areas for abandoned plates and glasses, tables not being cleared, the dirtiest NCL cabin I've ever had, etc), second week of April. Maybe they have gotten more staff since moving from NOLA to Miami.

Was on Breakaway 3/17/19 and everything was fantastic. Saw no problems with cleanliness on board.
