ncklhaus Posted January 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hi everyone. I'm going on the Breakaway for a 13 night sailing to the Southern Caribbean tomorrow. It's almost the same cruise I did last year, so when I get back I will do a review with a bit of a then and now comparison. In the meantime, please feel free to ask any questions you may have and I'll try and get the answers for you. I have the unlimited internet package for the cruise so I will update often. Car service is picking us up at 9am. I hope I can sleep tonight. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phiNny Posted January 2, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Do you know if the Sushi place is all you can eat for $7 surcharge with the UDP on breakaway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsK Posted January 2, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Have fun. I am actually just reading your report from last year right now. We did the 14 day cruise last January and are seriously considering hopping on to the Jan 29th cruise coming up. Looking forward to reading your report.

ncklhaus Posted January 3, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hey guys. I just got into bed after a fun day. I will get answers to the questions tomorrow. We are really rocking tonight. We are cruising at around 20 knots, not sure if that's the reason or not but you can really feel it. Alvin is the cruise director. I can't really say anything about him yet. Splash Academy staff are really nice, Melissa went for around an hour tonight while I donated $30 to the casino. :D I have to say I'm flattered. There are quite a few people that I bumped into on board that recognized me and my family from my reviews. I feel like a mini celebrity. ;) I'll post more tomorrow. Right now I am glad I took Dramamine and put MotionEaze behind my ears. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongordon Posted January 3, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hi JoAnn.... Hope you are enjoying your cruise. We are on the next 14 day Breakaway cruise on January 15th. Do they still have the "Wine Bottle Package?" If so, could you let me know what Chardonay wines are on the list. Thanks so much and have a great cruise.

cruiservictor Posted January 3, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 3, 2017 If you get to speak to Alvin this cruise, tell him Victor and Nancy say hello. He had been our ACD for several Breakaway cruises and we got to know him well. He told us Dan Dan will be back when we board on 1/29. Hope you have a great cruise.

bob brown Posted January 3, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Can you tell me about the "Howl at the Moon" performer's? I was on the Breakaway last January, and there were two guys and a gal that were incredibly talented...don't remember their names, but hoping they're back on the 15 January cruise....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anxious to hear how you are enjoying it. The cruise director is Alvin. It doesn't look like Arvin and Emily are back yet. The singers are "Spoken Two". We are having a great time. The Seas are a bit rough, but getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolosmom Posted January 3, 2017 #17 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Are you in the haven again or a "regular" room? I'd love to know the difference if you aren't Haven. I'm looking at an early summer cruise which will most likely be non-Haven/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookie848 Posted January 3, 2017 #18 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I hope you and your family enjoy your cruise and I can't wait to read about it! If you could post a picture of the Ocean Blue menu, I would appreciate it. We're on the Getaway at the end of February and are considering this for one night, but my husband is a picky eater and I'd like to take a look at the menu before committing (all of the menus I've seen are from when the restaurant originally opened). Thanks and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and son are on and myself and my other son are meeting the ship in St Marteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherof22boys Posted January 3, 2017 #20 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Like hansolosmom, I am also curious if you are in the Haven this time and if you did an upsell. I loved your 2 previous reviews of the BA as they helped me make the decision to book my family on it for June. We are currently booked in a Haven Aft Penthouse, but I'm starting to have second thoughts about paying so much.(over $10,000 for the 4 of us) With our final payment due in just a month, I'm considering changing to a Mini Suite with large balcony and hoping to have some luck calling the upsell line in May to get the Haven Aft for a lower price. Right now, 10 of the 12 are still open and one of those booked is mine. Is it worth the risk? Were you able to get an upsell? Has anyone had a recent upsell on BA?

I booked a balcony for the 4 of us, I'm considering a mini-suite but curious about the upgrades. Last time there were only 3 of us so I was able to upgrade to the Haven, but the 4 person rooms are harder to come by especially with the 3&4 sailing free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
