Late Night Menu at O’Sheehan’s

[BirdTravels]

O.K., you’re on vacation and need some “mommy and daddy time” without the kiddos. Register your kids at the Splash Academy on embarkation day, take them on the first evening to make new cruise friends, and you won’t see them for the rest of the cruise. The academy spans two floors.

The teens have their own club, Entourage. Register on embarkation day and force them to go on embarkation day and never see them again.

The Bird mentioned the Spiegel Tent as the venue for the Velvet dinner show, it also hosts many activities on sea days. 

[BirdTravels]

It may be 90 degrees outside in the Caribbean, but it is always a cool 17 degrees in the Ice Bar. Everything, including the cups, are made of ice. You get a fur lined parka to keep you warm while you visit this once in a lifetime experience.

The Breakaway has stopped and turned to render aide to a small boat that appears to be in distress. 
 

The ship is currently maintaining our distance.

@Birdtravels

could you ask a crew member what time they are expected to dock inNYC on Sunday?  Our checkin time has been pushed back to a 4pm start. Should be an interested mess at the pier.

Yes please, @Birdtravels!  We are stressing about this as we got a text saying check in between 4pm-10pm...sounds like a free for all and not a fun start to our cruise! Plus no lunch!

For the second time today, the Breakaway kid checking in on a small boat adrift off Cuba.

Good Night

The two refugee boat encounters messed up today’s posting schedule, so The Bird will continue a little from shore.

Good Morning Miami

 

we’re arriving about 2 1/2 later than plan. We’ll see how that affect disembarkation.

The crew that The Bird spoke to did not know anything about NYC check-in time. 

 

The ship's AIS says that she will arrive in NYC around 11:30 on Sunday morning. The ship is cruising at max speed. Not sure of the refugee issue caused delays in leaving Miami, we arrive a few hours later than expected.

Day 5 MDR

[BirdTravels]

One of the fun events hosted by Cruise Next was Wines Around the World. 

You travel to each country and the wine steward explains the wines that he is offering. Along the way, you score each wine. 

 

You can taste the wines or drink the wine for as long as you want. 

 

The Birds chatted with the ship’s sommelier who said that supply chain issues continue to have a big impact on the selections of wines onboard. 

[BirdTravels]

Need a sweet? The Bake Shop has bonbons ($2 each), cupcakes ($2 and $3 each), and macaroons ($2 each)

 

[BirdTravels]

Just outside the Bake Shop, is the Dolce gelato

I love the Gris Blanc Rose - this looks fun!  Thank you for sharing the pics!

Also, thanks for the casino pics!   Looking forward to our 9 day Breakaway cruise, and I just might spend a bit of time in there😉

I bet if I go back to photos of the Breakaway inaugural voyage, some of those same slot machines would be there (like the deal or no deal bank). 

[BirdTravels]

Viva Vino is available on the Breakaway. It has not been on our other post-restart cruises.

Water anyone?

We Have Rules!

 

And if you flush more than #1 and #2, you will be charged for unplugging the plumbing. (And if you saw The Bird's earlier post, our toilet was offline due to someone else's bad flush for several hours).
