Brad, thank you so much for your CTN review. Yesterday my husband mentioned of the possibility of a CTN cruise to celebrate our wedding anniversary... :rolleyes:

I am going to let him know of your review, so he will do the proper planning for next year. :D

Thanks again,

Mandy

I'm glad. I can't tell you how many people on here and those with which I work told me not to stay there. How silly! Much more easy on the budget, convenient, and SAFE...

Just want to add, the Long Island City in Queens is a very safe neighborhood, notable for its rapid and ongoing gentrification. The price tags on those condos in Long Island City can go head-to-head with those in Manhattan! :eek:

Hi Medtech2 - I have enjoyed your review very much! It brought back all those good memories of my cruise on Breakaway back in early September. :)

Kudos to you trying out various activities in the Sports Complex. Which one is your favorite? IMO, I found Bungee Trampoline more challenging than Rope Course. I barely did the back flips, but no luck in doing the front flips. :rolleyes: (and my lower back's sore for next couple of days...)

Thanks again!

Mandy

Hi Gambee - I just can't say enough "thank you" for your informative review! I was on the Breakaway for the week of 9/1 - 9/8, and enjoyed the trip so much. With your ultimate guide, I was able to go through various activities at ease. :D

Thanks again and best regards,

Mandy

You forgot Zumba!

 

Those were free, too, and so popular that they filled the dance floor in the Manhattan Dining Room.

Thank you everyone who was a part of this review.

 

I really appreciate everyone taking the time to read and comment throughout the review. I had a lot of fun with this review and experimenting with the new cameras.

 

 

 

 

Until Next time! ^_^

 

 

Bravo Gambee!! Now I really want to get on a Disney cruise! Knowing that I have budget constraints, but your write-up and photos shows that Disney services do justify their premium prices. Thanks again for your excellent review!

Regards,

Mandy

(Going on NCL Breakaway in couple days, better re-read your review before heading to the port!)

Gambee - Yes, it's me again. ;) Now I am up to page 74...

By any chance you know if there's the "chocolate buffet" - all different types of chocolate desserts, chocolate fondue, sculptures made out of chocolate - on the Breakaway? So far I don't see that being "advertised" on the Daily... Thanks again for your help!

Gambee - Just partially finished watching the videos (two more parts to go). I really love the visual tour of the ship (and with your narrative, bonus!) Bravo to you taking outdoor videos while it's so windy.

It has been my very first time following a thread (over 70 pages)! I am sure not being the only person to ask, but you should seriously think of being a cruise reviewer/critic as a full-time job. Well done!

Hi again!

 

 

qvenedandan ~ yes you can use tokens on the bus too. We bought a couple & used them when we took the bus back from the Sea Glass beach. I think you save by buying them rather than using coins.

 

~ Jo ~ :)

Jo, thanks for confirming! :)

Regards,

Mandy

I checked later on and saw just this little guy there.

 

 

Oh my Gambee... Look at its angry face! Is it the same guy trying to attack you earlier? :rolleyes:

 

 

Back down I took a few pictures of the actual prices of the transportation system.

 

 

 

 

Thanks again for posting all these photos with tons of info I am looking for! One quick question - Do the buses also accept tokens? Or tokens are for ferries only? :confused:

Latitudes Pin (Sorry iPhone pic came out crappy)

 

 

Free Lanyard from Guest Services

 

 

My Breakaway Ornament

 

 

Bermuda Oranament I bought at the Pharmacy

 

 

I bought pink sand at the Craft Market (only $3)

 

Wow! The pin is so much prettier (comparing to the pin I got on Gem). Do I need to request the pin in advance, or they will automatically provide them to us once we are on board?

The lanyard is very nice too!

Again, I really enjoy the photos! Thanks for all your hard works in organizing and posting them. :)

Thank you so much for the day-by-day review, including your take in the helmet dive. I have been thinking of this activity also. :)

Thank you!!! Enjoy reading your blog and seeing all the photos!

(Second guessing myself to get onto the free fall slide though...)

I asked about how consistent the menus are and I think they said there are 14 menus that are rotated so I think it's just random what days you'll will get.

 

If you read my review you can piece together which menu's are from what days. I alternated between my camera and iPhone while taking pictures so they became a jumbled mess. I have about 1,000 pictures I have to weed through and post so if I have time later I'll try and figure it out.

Thank you for all the menus foodie photos! :D

14 menus! I wish there's more than one menus with soufflé as dessert.

Gambee - I love, LOVE all the maps and links you have included in your insightful review! Just subscribed to your thread so that I have my one-stop reference for our upcoming trip in September. It will be our first time in Bermuda, and all these details are highly appreciated!

Thanks!

Mandy
