We are going on the Breakaway in late November 2016, this will be our sixth time on the BA. Does anyone who was recently onboard know who the Captain, Hotel Director, Food and Beverage Director, Cruise Director and any other officers are. I would appreciate any response. Thanks in advance.

Wally,

 

Thank you for your thoughtful and copious response. We are ion the November 27 sailing of the Breakaway - 14 days NY to the Caribbean. Always had a great time on the smaller sister ship Gem.

 

The only issue of the Breakaway that I gives me concern is the (possible) over crowding of the ship's venues.

If you go to the Meet and Greet I'd love to meet you.

Wally,

 

This is our first time on the Breakaway.

 

There are numerous OP complaints on this board, which totally shred the Breakaway. As this is your sixth time on the vessel, I assume the complaints must be, for the most part, unfounded.

Nothing is always perfect. But in my experience some people will complain if hung with a new rope. I have been on many cruises on many lines. I hear people complain about things so silly it makes me laugh. While most are as happy as can be, The complainers say not enough salt on the food, no pineapple soda, and the list goes on and on. Funny how when I read some reviews after returning home I shake my head and say " I was on that same ship, same dates and never once did I hear anyone complain about these things nor did I experience them personally". For the record I have a total of (18) eighteen cruises with NCL and love them. I truly believe you will have a great time. When are you going on the Breakaway?

Anyone recently on the Pearl, who is currently the Hotel Director, Food and Beverage and Cruise Director? Than

k you all in advance. :p

Thank you! (What email address did you use to get a response from Leigh directly?!)

Donna he is now on vacation, he left when the ship returned yesterday.:rolleyes:

Here is a email I received early this morning regarding the Explorer Repo cruise November 1st.

I will be back on that date for that cruise so you are stuck with me.

I will see you there.

Cheers,

Leigh Xuereb

Cruise Director

I believe Sept 6 is his last cruise on the Explorer.

I sent two emails to the Cruise Directors email asking if he or who might be on the Explorer for the 14 day repo cruise in November . Did not get a response. I will try other avenues.

We cruise NCL only so that we now are platinum latitudes members and each of us get free.

 

Just how much free laundry do you get each?????

Me four!!!

Me crazy:):)

How are the production shows on Explorer? We went to one on Liberty, but I just couldn't get over the lack of plot. The singing and dancing was very good, but without a plot to follow it is difficult for me to watch. Anyone have a more positive experience?

What kind of plot would you like????????

Can you get free wakeup calls on the Explorer (on our past cruises, we've been able to do this through an automated system on the telephone and was wondering if they have something similar)?

Yes there is a buton on your state room phone that lets you. Works well I might say.

That is GREAT! I have a crush on physics, but math and I have a hate/hate relationship. I can do math, I just detest it, so Physics wouldn't have been a field for me, though it fascinates me. I love this quote because it applies in a scientific way as well as a metaphysical one. :-)

Thank you I often wonder about why folks add such to their postings. I think I now know/don't know what it implies. But smiles back at you!!:):)

We are going to be in a GS on the starboard side in 9 days. Thanks for posting these. I am so excited! Hope you had a great cruise.

Autum I have a wild mind so wonder what "Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed." -Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier. is about?

I serched and found this.

The nineteenth century law of conservation of energy is a law of physics. It states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant over time. The total energy is said to be conserved over time. For an isolated system, this law means that energy can change its location within the system, and that it can change form within the system, for instance chemical energy can become kinetic energy, but that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. In the nineteenth century, mass and energy were considered as being of quite different natures.

Since Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity showed that energy has an equivalent mass (see mass in special relativity), and mass has an equivalent energy, one speaks of a law of conservation of mass-energy as an updated version of the nineteenth century law. All particles, both ponderable (such as atoms) and imponderable (such as photons), respectively have both mass equivalents and energy equivalents. The difference between ponderable and imponderable particles is that ponderable particles cannot ever be accelerated to move at lightspeed, while imponderable particles always move at lightspeed (at least as to their phase velocity; they can exist as standing waves in a cavity with extremely reflective walls).

The total mass and the total energy of a system may both be respectively defined in special relativity, but for each, its conservation law holds. Particles, both ponderable and imponderable, are subject to interconversions of form, in both creation and annihilation. Nevertheless, in an isolated system, conservation of total energy and conservation of total mass each holds as a separate law.

A consequence of the law of conservation of energy is that no intended "perpetual motion machine" can perpetually deliver energy to its surroundings.

Thanks in advance:):)

I'm glad to here you like NJ--I only sailed out of Manhattan once, and this will be my first time out of NJ. I heard some not-so-flattering things about NJ, but it sounds like you had a contrary experience, which makes me feel better.

We have cruised in and out of Cape Liberty several times never a problem. Not the same view of Lady Liberty out of NJ as NY but we know she’s there smiling at us all. She even winks at the gator:):)

Wally, You'll love the ship. The crew is what really sets this ship apart from the rest. They are the best on the water. I hear the folks cruising with you are kind of special too.

That sounds true Thanks Ken, Terri & Wally can't wait happy to begin.:):):)

We will be on the Explorer our first time 11-10-2011. I hear nothing but great things about her. Has anyone had any experience in or around cabin 8372 a D2. Thanking you in advance. :):)
