Everything Breakaway!(LIVE on 4/28)

[shaun07]

I am very excited that its left Meyer Werft but I think there may be a bit of an information blackout until the first sailing. :(

[steamboats]

According to the AIS signal the "convoy" (one police boat, 4 tugs and the Norwegian Breakaway) is still app. 2 km away from the train bridge at Weener. So it will take a while til we can see them again on the NDR live stream.

 

Here you´ll find some more inside photos made on Monday. I know it´s not the best but click on the US flag (top right side) for a google translation of the text.

Hi HighBoy! You're in charge of posting the LIVE feed images! ;) I just got off midnight shift and after posting all those previous web cam stills my fingers are pooped!!! :D

That's a lot of cruise ship aficionados.

I can't imagine this ever gets old for them, because it wouldn't for me either. A new ship every year, sometimes two a year, for the last 8 years passing through their back yards. Must be very cool! :D

I have watched a little on a live webcam, it sure is a slow going process. But nice to see the ship moving on it's way. Can't wait until April 30 when we board. Getting so excited, I can barely stand it.

Sunset for that part of Germany today is going to be around 6:31pm local, or 1:30pm east coast US times, 10:30am US Pacific coast time.

 

We have about 4 more hours of daylight.

They have gone 7km so far. Only another 29km to go.

 

I think they are about 15m behind the schedule on the map, so going ok at the moment.

[KeithJenner]

They have some tight bridges to squeeze through downriver and I'm not sure she would fit with both sides lifeboats attached. ;)

 

I'm not sure that lifeboats on the other side would have got past the first bridge.

[dmwnc1959]

I'm not sure that lifeboats on the other side would have got past the first bridge.

 

That's what I was thinking too. There's another one a little further down river that is a railroad bridge where they actually have to remove the mid-trestle for the ships to squeeze through.

Seems like the cam froze, well anyway I have to go to work. I will see later folks, thanks for all the updates :)

Live stream is back up again.

[steamboats]

No, there are no live boats on the other side of the ship.

 

This is the Friesenbrücke at Weener and that´s the railroad bridge. You can see the part they have to remove each time for an Ems conveyance hanging on a crane at the right side.

We know they aren't there. It was being discussed earlier.

I've always liked forward-facing suites because I like to see where I'm going, not where I've been.

 

Today would be a great day to have an aft balcony :)

I know, I just wanted to confirm it. I saw that they are missing earlier this morning when she was still docked at the ship yard. DH sent me a cell phone photo showing the ship from the other side. I can´t post it on here as it´s too large (and I don´t have a program to downsize is here in my office:rolleyes:).
