Rare insidecabin Posted March 26, 2013 #2551 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Is the NCL Breakaway taller than the Epic, or is this just an illusion? As I asked months ago, I wonder how much clearance there will be, going under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, NYC ? Those pics are probably not the same scale they have very similar beams(width) also the back to help line up(high decks are at the front) spice H2O, breakaway is deck 16, Epic is deck 15 6 accomodation decks breakaway 9-14 epic 8-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorialagos Posted March 26, 2013 #2552 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks to FreestyleNovice for posting the link to the fotocommunity.de pictures - certainly some nice Breakaway photos there :) HELP!! Am I the only having trouble finding pictures at the fotocommunity site? The link takes me there but where do I go once I get there? I don't speak German (I think that is the language there) and I cannot figure out where to go to find Breakaway pics. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlacruising Posted March 26, 2013 #2555 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Am I alone? I like the Breakaway better.:o:eek::o Overall I think the Breakaway is a prettier ship then the Epic. I think I will like the bathrooms better on the Breakaway instead of the open style that the Epic has.....but that's another story...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny105 Posted March 26, 2013 #2556 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thank you all for the replies. Definitely have me leaning toward upgrading to an aft balcony :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dega2 Posted March 26, 2013 #2557 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Ok, I will come forward as one of the people who asked Gambee to find my cabin, I did not see any "rules" to what questions can be asked. Cruisecritic already has mediators. So, I am sure we do not need extra thread police. I personally think it is an annoyance for people to suggest what can, and cannot be asked here. Honestly, this is what a thread is a host of questions, information, pictures, ideas. If anyone feels the need to step away because, people are asking questions they don't like by all means step away. Now if Gambee has a problem with locating cabins. Please Gambee let us know. Raindrops keep falling on my head !!!!!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars7816 Posted March 26, 2013 #2558 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yes, as I recall it was $19 or $20 each, which included 2 drinks per person. We really did have a good time and stayed over the 45 minute limit -- no one asked us to leave! We may just have to do it again.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tops of the cars must have been about 19 feet as they all instantly became convertibles! :) (totaled before they were even unloaded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roe2ship Posted March 26, 2013 #2564 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The Epic aft looks better than the Breakaway....looks as though the view straight down to the water is also better on the Epic aft balconies too. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enpasfltdll Posted March 26, 2013 #2565 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Am I alone? I like the Breakaway better.:o:eek::o Nope, I think the back end of Breakaway looks much better than Epic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j603 Posted March 26, 2013 #2567 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I think they updated the deck plans on NCL.com. It now looks like I can't access my room in the traditional way I am used to but will have scoot all the way around the starboard side of the ship to access my inside stateroom, 10443, via the interior corridor. Unless I can truck through the studios. Little disappointed considering my friends are just up the hall in 10188. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngestof9 Posted March 26, 2013 #2569 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I had also heard that some insides weren't directly across from some balconies, which isn't good for those families who book one across from each other - you can't access them without going around to the interior corridor. I would double check if I had booked a balcony/inside combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicnkojo Posted March 27, 2013 #2573 Share Posted March 27, 2013 The Epic aft looks better than the Breakaway....looks as though the view straight down to the water is also better on the Epic aft balconies too. Oh well... i have to agree with you a little on that. I keep looking back and forth at the 2 pictures and notice no one has mentioned one aspect of the epic compared to the breakaway, the epic looks more "solid" and strong in the rear, while the Breakaway.. well it looks a little fragile in the back, and the boardwalk wrap a round (is that what that is) I think I will be nervous to be out there. Unless that is not what im seeing on the back of the ship. The breakaway looks beautiful on the back, just not as strong as the epic. Well, im on the 9/22 sailing, so we will see !! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may just have to do it again.:D We were on the Epic and went to the Ice Bar...we loved it and I am from MN! It was great fun with the other bar patrons and was not at all about 'being cold'. Outside in the winter in MN is not the same thing at all compared to the Ice Bar on a cruise ship.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
