Breakaway Review

Hi all,

 

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, but my family and I took a cruise to Bermuda on board the Norwegian Breakaway leaving from Pier 88 in NYC. I did a few blog posts about the cruise and what we did in Bermuda and figured I could share them here.

 

Thanks!

So, I just looked at the first picture and noticed the big gun pointed at the ship :eek:

Excellent photo review :)

Amazing, amazing pictures! Totally enjoyed your review.

NCL should hire you in their marketing department.

Wow, you took some spectacular photos! Enjoyed your review!

Thank you for such a great review. Your pictures of Bermuda were amazing. We sail on the Breakaway a week from today and after reading your review I just can't wait. :)

Thanks everyone! And @ Moosecrouse, the bars were always hopping at night, especially at O'Sheehans.

Great pictures and review. There is so much to see that 1 visit to Bermuda does not work. So.... have to plan another cruise in the near future. :D

Curtis - how was the cabin?

Nice Vicki. I did take a couple "spy" photos of the balcony's though they were all the same. They all had loungers in place. ;) Busy today but do plan on doing a photo enhanced brief review (not much of a writer) in the next few days.

I'll be on the look-out :D

The pictures are beautiful~~I am going to Bermuda in October~~the fourth time~~you cannot get enough! Thanks and glad you had a great time!:)

Thank you for sharing your review & photos! Great pictures!

 

My husband & I will be on the Breakaway in a couple of weeks & found this very helpful. We are also photographers.

 

We are also going to tour the island on our own & plan on getting the 3 day transportation passes. Were the lineups long to purchase the passes?

Great Pics - Good Eye for composition too! If you don't mind, what camera did you use for these shots? I fancy myself to be semi-unprofessional shooter. I also know that most of the time it's the one pressing the shutter button that usually makes the difference between an OK and a great Pic.

 

I have ordered a Nikon D5200 that I will need to get familiar with before our 9/22 Breakaway cruise. I usually take about a 600 to 800 pics and probably end up with about 50 "keepers".

 

Again, Great Job!

We were off the ship about 9:15 and there were 4 ppl ahead of us. There is also a kiosk (small yellow bldg) by the ferries before the tour kiosks.

Hi Chetsky apologies it took me so long to get back to you, the camera body that I shot those photos with is a Nikon D700 with the use of several lenses, a 24-70mm f/2.8, a 50mm f/1.8 and an 80-200mm f/2.8.

 

Hope that helps and thanks! It all takes time and practice to get your keeper rate higher so keep on shooting!:)
