Rare sid_9169 Posted February 8, 2019 Author #229 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The internet is starting to fade... I'm going into airplane mode. I will burn through my thirty free Platinum minutes some time tomorrow... Till then... Thank each and every one of you so much for being part of my adventure. *I just ordered another Patron silver straight... 14 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhoo, we move on... After lunch I made my way back to Vibe for a margarita with Patron silver... Interestingly, there was no upcharge, and the bartender said it was included. Perhaps the new, grossly absurd beverage price increase hasn't hit the Breakaway yet? Soon, cabins were ready, and I went down and set up my new home for the next ten days. All my shirts are hung in the closet, and my toiletries and whatnot set up. Then I headed back to Vibe for a mango margarita, frozen with Patron silver. Still no upcharge... And, with one heck of a straw, that I thought NCL did away with. New prices when we boarded the Breakaway on Jan 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been some kind of delay with the NCL booked flights is my best guess. They were still loading luggage as of about ten minutes ago, so I'm guessing we'll be underway soon. I'm about to head down to the solo meeting at Maltings Bar, and check that out. Two weeks ago it was after 6:00 before we took of. Those boarding earlier had no problems but apparently later on people were having long waits to board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the other increases are still in effect, and I guess they're still trying to figure out a happy medium between profits and pissing off their customers... YAY on Grey Goose & Patron! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellou2 Posted February 8, 2019 #234 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I am onboard for the journey, bringing back great memories when I was on the Breakaway last August sailing around the Baltic’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingbajan Posted February 8, 2019 #239 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Really loving your review👍. I have just booked my first NCL cruise and its on the Breakaway so this is quite timely for me. Looking forward to the rest of it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Greenpea2 Posted February 8, 2019 #240 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Sid, if you think of it, would you see if a martini made with Grey Goose has been lowered back into what is covered by the drink package? I know you said GG and Patron Silver have been in general, but wondering if that just means a shot of it or in a mixed drink. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prekcruiser Posted February 8, 2019 #241 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Loving your blog. I am from New Orleans and we sail in 23 days on the Breakaway. I check CC every few days for new posts and your blog is definitely one of the best. I hope you enjoy the rest of the cruise as it seems like you're off to a fine start. Looking forward to hearing more of your adventures. Thanks!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if they’ve dropped the price of Grand Marnier below the $15 threshold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blarko Posted February 9, 2019 #244 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Sid, the struggle is real as we know you’re on a cruise and must anxiously await your port days to live vicariously through you. Hope you’re having a great time and lots of tequila! Sure hope CC gets the app up and running again so the Live reviews can resume.

JinxyB Posted February 9, 2019 #246 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I just binge read your Bliss review from Dec 2018. I really enjoyed the napping pics from the observation lounge. The ship looks gorgeous, but that observation lounge looks like a breeding ground for all sorts of funk! I’m officially addicted to your reviews! Hope you are having a blast! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted February 9, 2019 Author #247 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Good morning from beautiful Cozumel Mexico!... I've been jonsing to give all of you fine readers some updates, but as you know, I have not purchased a data plan this sailing. I'm just getting off the ship, and will be updating throughout the day. I have a lot of shenanigans from yesterday to share, but I'll fill all of that in when I get back home to a good WiFi connection. Today, we are living in the present! I'm about to meet my driver, Crescencio, and we'll be on our way. I'm heading to the East side, where there is no electricity, so the updates will start flowing in once I'm back here in San Miguel. I want to thank all of you for sticking this out, and I hope to keep you informed and entertained for the next week or so. We'll just call it "infotainment"... My costume for today. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted February 9, 2019 Author #249 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Upload speeds a bit slow here, so I'm just going to do what I can, and will fill in the blanks when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
