crowemommy Posted May 31, 2013 #601 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Love your review - and your fabulous pictures - much better than what is available on NCL website! We are sailing in less than 3 weeks - yikes - nowhere near ready!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journey11 Posted May 31, 2013 #602 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hi Gambee. My vocabulary is not extensive enough to come up with any new adjectives/superlatives to describe your review of the Breakaway. So I will just say that it is excellent, amazing, incredible and outstanding. Thank you so much for this invaluable contribution to the Breakaway information base. Also, I really like the large print you used for your review; it makes reading your review even nicer for those of us who use reading glasses. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmBeachOrBust Posted May 31, 2013 #603 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Is the special take home glass for $2.75 more the same every day or does the size/shape change every day with the drink. I love the fishbowl :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted May 31, 2013 #604 Share Posted May 31, 2013 ... They gave us each cards with all of the department head's cell phone numbers. ... I wonder if they stopped giving out the numbers because so many people from our cruise bothered them!!! LOL!!! I must have missed that - did they actually not give out their contact cards following your sailing? :eek: ... ...So sorry you had such an unpleasant experience. I think if you got to the right person it would have been rectified. ... Sad that one would have to seek out the right person in order to have problems taken care of (makes me think of people having to go to John Heald with Carnival in order for "stuff to happen" :(). It seems to me that such would be Guest Services responsibility - perhaps that's an example of poor training/staffing... :confused: Of course, I've witnessed significant weakness in Guest Services abilities on most every line we've sailed.

English101 Posted May 31, 2013 #605 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Sneaking looks at the review while at work. Had my boss walk by and ask what I was looking at. So I showed him and he started getting interested! I thought I was in trouble! Déjà ue... I honestly had to look at the date of your comment! I think I remember someone saying the exact same thing in one of Gambee's past reviews!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SissasMomE Posted May 31, 2013 #606 Share Posted May 31, 2013 We had similar issues with the customer service desk on the Epic. They had one sour lady that had a lot of difficulty with English. You couldn't ask a question from anyone without them acting like you were bothering them. We had the exact opposite experience on the Jewel, they couldn't have been more helpful. I did note this on my post cruise survey and to the HD but it fell on deaf ears. Had the exact opposite experience on the Epic, both times I was on her. Fabulous service!

gambee Posted May 31, 2013 Author #610 Share Posted May 31, 2013 So anyway back were I left, We continued walking in the lido deck and I took a few more pictures. Notice the palm trees. Well after that day they rope off the that area. I will get into that later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted May 31, 2013 Author #611 Share Posted May 31, 2013 These two water slides really have a kick to them, you gain a lot of speed by the time you hit that last loop. They are a lot of fun :). The water is heated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted May 31, 2013 Author #612 Share Posted May 31, 2013 After that time upstairs we decided to go back downstairs and go shopping before the meet and greet started. I took a few more pictures there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambee Posted May 31, 2013 Author #615 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I also went ahead and bought my model ship. While it feels much lighter than my Silli model, it is much larger. These models are not in the same scale. Also don't forget to ask for your latitudes discount. Then we walked around and I took some pictures of a few of the venues.

gambee Posted May 31, 2013 Author #619 Share Posted May 31, 2013 With the poor weather that we were dealing with, the casino was at full force! I never ordered a drink in this cruise, but I think if I did, Shakers Martini bar would be my place!. That's my model ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted May 31, 2013 Author #620 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Then we decided to do a little stroll by the waterfront To bad these lifeboats get in the way of the view. But in all honesty is not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambee Posted May 31, 2013 Author #622 Share Posted May 31, 2013 These are always fun. This area must be great for sail away if you don't have an aft balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted May 31, 2013 Author #623 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The balconies on deck 8 right next to the water front have ZERO privacy! You would never catch me booking a room here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted May 31, 2013 Author #624 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Back inside. Inside fat cats The crew was holding some kind of event. This by the chandelier, it leads to the Martini bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted May 31, 2013 Author #625 Share Posted May 31, 2013 We never made it to the ice bar, but from talking to people I gathered a few notes. It is smaller than the Epic one, it did not feel finished. It felt much like a big freezer. Others said that the best way to enjoy it is to go with a big fun group, it will maximize your chances at having a good time. I believe you can stay there for 45 minutes, but most last about 20 minutes. We wanted to do it, but then night that we were supposed to meet our CC friends there, I completely missed their message on the phone. And some cute fake orchid :). Since it was time for the meet and greet we started heading that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
