Hello everyone. I made it on board. . . The traffic was fine for the first 30 minutes this morning, and I approached the Lincoln tunnel. . . .things got stupid. Heavy traffic was the name of the game for the next 45 min. Stop and go, stop and SLOW. . .

 

I finally made it to the terminal around 11AM. I parked, dropped off the luggage, checked in and boarded Breakaway. It was very simple (after I arrived to the terminal)

 

The ship is breath taking. . .and I only have visited 2 decks. I have many pics to take and post, but now it’s getting close to muster drill at 2:30. We should sail away promptly at 3PM. More pics after dinner !

 

 

I will have a lot to see and report on this week. . . Time for coffee, and then muster.

 

 

Thanks for tuning in. . .

Are we doing a cabin crawl? Who has an interesting cabin? I really want to see a studio cabin and the studio lounge, and all the big fancy pants cabins I don't have

Hello everyone. . .I am happy again to be posting “LIVE”. This time, it will be onboard the beautiful Norwegian Breakaway. I leave tomorrow for my pre-cruise hotel. On Sunday morning (Oct 12), I will be heading in to Manhattan to board this wonderful ship that I have heard so much about. She is very young as her Maiden voyage was April 2013 (christened May 2013)

 

It has been awhile since I have posted “LIVE” (April 2014), so I will be ready to be sailing once again. I last sailed with Norwegian several times in 2009 (Wow 6 years ago . . . It seems like yesterday) In 2009 Norwegian Gem was the flagship of the fleet, and I know there have been many changes since then.

 

I am excited about these changes, and I am looking forward to exploring this magnificent ship and all she has to offer. The dining has changed. . . The cabins have changed as well as the activities on board. She is a massive vessel (4500 passengers) and I have read many, many reviews (“too big . . . just right . . . too many passengers . . . great food”). You will now have a chance to see Norwegian Breakaway through my eyes. (I never offer reviews (not much, anyway) but will offer a day to day report as I see it. It will include the public rooms, cabins, dining entertainment and pool areas. Yeah . . . and there may be a little discussion about the coffee.

 

There will be daily images posted of different areas of the ship (pending reliable wireless connection) . . . at least the areas that I make it to, as well as our ports of call. This sailing will be 7 nights and will visit Port Canaveral, Great Stirrup Cay, and Nassau. I am uncertain about how the weather will be during the next 7 nights, but it can rain straight through and I will be happy. It has been a tough summer, and I just need to be on a ship again.

 

Sit back, have a fresh coffee and join me for a delightful and relaxing cruise on Norwegian Breakaway. I am keeping my fingers crossed that Breakaway Casino will be very “Radio friendly”

Watched the sailaway and waved. Mark, did you see the Maersk Line freighter cross your bow in the harbor? From the camera angle, it looked like she was heading right toward Breakaway. Phew, glad she missed you. Hope you have a great cruise, no bad weather issues and looking forward to your review.
