johnnypiano Posted April 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Has NCL released any information on what time Breakaway is coming into New York Harbor on May 7? I would like to go down to Hoboken to watch it come up the river, if possible. I'm assuming that the NYFD will do some sort of Water Cannon salute or something, right?

youngestof9 Posted April 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Not sure how accurate it is, but awhile ago the NCL facebook page mentioned it would be coming into the harbor around 4 a.m. on the 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibcnusoon Posted April 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Do you think the New York Harbor cam will follow her in, like they do for cruise ships that sail out? http://www.nyharborwebcam.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabincop Posted April 25, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2013 :eek:AACCK 4am wow well I guess I won't be there to watch her come in. I will go see her another more reasonable day and time lol.

Spoke with a NCL agent who told me that Breakaway will be coming in at 8am on My 7. Call NCL to see if you can see if that is correct.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call NCL to see if you can see if that is correct.:cool: Ohh, would LOVE to know this. I work in SI and my office has a beautiful view of the VZ bridge/harbor and would be able to see this perfectly. BUT, I would only be able to see coming under the VZ and about another 5 or so minutes after that. I guess I would need to get in earlier, which isn't going to happen LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypiano Posted April 25, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Maybe they'll have some more exact times once she's underway on the TA. I'd hate to get down there and find out I'd missed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennbank Posted April 26, 2013 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2013 On The Schedule it is shown as arriving at 8am at Manhattan Cruise Terminal, However If I remember correctly so did NCL Epic back in 2010, but in that case we arrived at about 9am but were unable to disembark because of the lifeboat situation until past lunchtime. There were however plenty of activity watching the lifeboats getting removed prior to docking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennbank Posted April 27, 2013 #16 Share Posted April 27, 2013 WHy did they remove the lifeboats? The powers that be at NCL and Manhattan Cruise Terminal, had not realised that The Norwegian Epic Did not fit the berth with the overhanging Lifeboats attached. They did try but it was not to be until they had been detached. That is why the Manhattan Cruise Terminal has now had the new modern adjustable gangways and expanded pier aprons to cope with the new generation cruise ships. http://www.adelte.com/news/team-contracted-passenger-boarding-bridges-manhattan-cruise/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypiano Posted May 3, 2013 Author #17 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Any updates here? I've read from some on the ship that the captain is taking the ship a little faster than originally planned (~20 knots). Has anyone on the ship received any estimates of time into the harbor?

johnnypiano Posted May 5, 2013 Author #21 Share Posted May 5, 2013 @nclsglcruiser posted on twitter that they expect to dock by 6am on Tuesday and that a 5am arrival under the Verrazano is likely. The captain will be announcing more precise information tomorrow. ....might be a little too early for me. I'll probably just watch the video on the news in the morning!

Single Cruiser Posted May 6, 2013 #22 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yep we have easy disembark walk-off from 06:15 which means at pier it says berth 1 at 6. Someone said the bridge is about an hr out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an excellent view of the VZ from my office but I get in at 8:30 am. I wish it was coming in later but can't wait to know it's in NY. My inlaws will be sailing on May 12 and my family will be sailing in July! Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
