Breakaway Semi Live: Oct 29 - Oct 5, 17 Halloween Storm Special, Take #2

[keep on cruisin]

Have a great trip. We will be following this week and boarding BA next week when you return. For us, this week will take forever. Unfortunately once on it goes to fast. I guess that is why we are always looking for the next free extra guests during school vacation.

[DamWamWeRCruising]

Wow, looks like a delicious lunch. We definitely plan on eating in Savor or Taste upon boarding. Just wondering, were you able to book any shows before you boarded through the NCL I-Concierge app? Was the service available while you were waiting?

[mking8288]

Dessert time.

 

$85 offer to upgrade from 250 min./1 GB data to unlimited WiFi data for the week. iConcierge App is $9.99 per device for onboard calling & text. OBC can be used to pay for it.

 

Plenty of specialty dining slots open, must turn off cellular data, connect to ship free WiFi inTRAnet, then log into iConcierge to book. Signal was good inside the pier waiting area.

 

Roku is always w me, setup own WiFi closed loop inTRAnet to cast our own videos, tricky setup w another travel router - hotspot. Will see if I can get this going.

You or someone else playing MyVegas?

They changed my ship to the Breakaway (have never been interested in the mega ships) for my cruise next year, so I'll be interested in your detailed review. Looks good so far. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[mking8288]

Yulp, Mrs.M while waiting played online.

 

Got 1 of 2 luggage delivered now, safety drill is next.

Mking, I have a request from someone on my Facebook group. Can you tell us which kids channel is in the room. Their granddaughter likes to go to sleep with the tv on.

Hi, meatball_nyc.

 

Keep on cruising - kids channel gone, nothing but I will look again ... sorry, BYO ?? Showing ping pong tournament on one channel, WTHeck.

 

Drills for E2 in Manhattan MDR, done. Indoor sailing party at Atrium lobby.

 

Ship sailed right on time, heading south on Hudson now. This might be a fast run with the storm coming at us, forecast isn't too bad, being midship, so far so good.

 

More ship WiFi & calling info.

 

 

If images aren't readable, feel free to let us know.

Once we get past VZ Bridge, will go offline & sign in later tonight once I get our free WiFi activated.

Wishing you a safe sail-away. I don't live far from Bayonne and man is it raining hard and windy. You can see the rain if you are watching the Jet game. I hope the Captain gets away from the storm quickly once you are at sea and you are in better weather soon. Have a wonderful cruise! I will be following.

[mking8288]

Smooth sailing thus far, calm on the Lower Hudson. Foggy & raining.

I am trying to watch the Breakaway on the New York Harbor cam, it seems impossible:

[mking8288]

We can hear the wind & barely see the ship docked over at Red Hook, should be at VZB shortly.

Breakaway under the bridge

[mking8288]

Logged into ship's WiFi now briefly, seemed fine. On a ship heading of 170 deg. doing 17 km with 8.5 ft. waves, raining but not too windy.

 

Our other luggage sitting here waiting for Mrs. M to unpack, she's taking a nice nap before dinner.

 

Lots of open slots for Specialty to book on board.

 

Later.

Following you once again. I hope you have a great cruise and this horrible weather doesn't make for a rocky sail.

 

Looks like the same old lunch menu. I wish they would change it. Did you upgrade to a balcony? Enjoy!!!

If you guys make it to GSC could you post pictures of the Taco place? Maybe a picture of the menu?

 

Have a great cruise!

Just got off the Breakaway today. We loved it except for the activities held in the Atrium not having enough seating.

Hope you both have a wonderful cruise! Also thanks for the Breakaway info. you posted in the past. It was helpful to me on our cruise!
