NCL Breakaway Boarding

[Travelbug69]

Can anyone share their recent experiences boarding the Breakaway? I will be arriving around noon on November 16 and last year it took forever to board. Has NCL change their boarding process? Does being a return cruiser make the boarding experience? Thanks. Lori

Being a returning cruiser (Latitudes member) doesn't change a thing when it comes to boarding. The process is usually painless, sounds as if yours was not? Depending on your arrival time, boarding pass number and how the departing passengers depart, I would expect no problems. Customs, weather and the longshoremen can make anything happen. Think positive.

Getting on the Dawn last Fall was brutal, and very un-organized. Hearing from lots of different folks on here, seems that the Breakaway is overall very smooth and quick, with those few occasions that it takes a little bit.

We arrived at the pier around 10:30 and boarding the BA was very smooth.

We're on the same sailing! Last year we got there around 10:30 and were on the ship by noon, no problems. I think it helps to arrive early.
