FreestyleNovice Posted January 29, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Breakaway will be back in NY 31 Jan 0800 and leaving again at 1800, will it dock side to side with the Getaway aka Superbowl hotel or any chance we will see them together? Would love to see the photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see the photos! I'm waiting for this as well. I have seen photos of two NCL ships going thru the Panama Canal together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutley chick Posted January 29, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Yes they will be together. Getaway will be back here tomorrow until Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Bruiser Posted January 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would guess that the NCL publicity department will be taking advantage of the opportunity with photographers at every vantage point. Probably a drone or two for aerial shots. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestyleNovice Posted January 29, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm waiting for this as well. I have seen photos of two NCL ships going thru the Panama Canal together. Hopefully NCL will take advantage of the 5ht of Feb, both ships will be near GSC/Nassau, some coordination and it would be a great photo op! The Pearl is also around at the same time.

antsnanny Posted January 29, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well be sailing on the Breakaway on Sunday, were looking forward to seeing the two ships together.. It's too bad they both wont be at sea at the same time, now that would be a great picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob brown Posted January 29, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Since the Breakaway is doing a 2 niter, it will be back on 2 Feb for another chance to see them together. And the Gem will get a chance, too....later today..... Incredible to see 3 ships from NCL in New York in mid-winter.... haven't seen the likes of that since Cunard staged their "Three Queens" rendevous in New York Harbor a few years ago. Too bad NCL couldn't have staged a similar publicity stunt........:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutley chick Posted January 29, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Strange, The Gem just pulled in and went all the way down to the pier and made a u-turn. Where is she going to dock. Looks like she is leaving again. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatball_nyc Posted January 29, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Getaway. Back from her CTN.

Zoey Posted January 29, 2014 #15 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Strange, The Gem just pulled in and went all the way down to the pier and made a u-turn. Where is she going to dock. Looks like she is leaving again. :confused: Funny...I almost posted the same question early this morning. I noticed Getaway coming way out in the harbor around 6:30 then noticed the Gem had pulled out and started moving towards open water and I thought she had to move for Getaway. Then she went back to the dock where she originally was. I was confused too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted January 29, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 29, 2014 it looks like they are lifeboats in the water? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted January 29, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The Gem's lifeboats are in the water. ~Robin Norwegian Breakaway July 2014 Carnival Miracle 2010 Carnival Legend 2006 Every Day at Sea is a Great Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoey Posted January 29, 2014 #18 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Could they just be testing them out to make sure they're operating as they're supposed to? OR maybe they're just trying to get you fired for sure :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted January 29, 2014 #19 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Haha.

Me either. I meant from your job. Didn't you say early this morning while we were watching Getaway come in that you were going to get fired? Or was that somebody else like me without a life at 6:30 a.m.? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnacle_boy Posted January 29, 2014 #21 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The Gem's lifeboats are in the water. No, those are Getaway's lifeboats. Only Pier 88 Berth 2 (north side) is equipped with specialized gangways (specifically brought in for Breakaway) that allow enough clearance for the overhang of Breakaway/Getaway's lifeboats. Breakaway is going to be taking Berth 2 for her normal operations, so Getaway will be at Berth 1 for the Bud Light Superbowl festivities. This will also have the added advantage of putting Getaway directly across from USS Intrepid, which Bud Light has also taken over for the party. Since Berth 1 doesn't have the appropriate gangways to accommodate the overhang, several of Getaway's forward lifeboats had to be removed earlier this morning prior to docking.

meatball_nyc Posted January 29, 2014 #22 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I stand corrected. Thank you! Makes sense now. ~Robin Norwegian Breakaway July 2014 Carnival Miracle 2010 Carnival Legend 2006 Every Day at Sea is a Great Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob brown Posted January 29, 2014 #23 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It was similar to when the Epic debuted here...she also had to drop some lifeboats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
