When Breakaway meets Getaway..?

[FreestyleNovice]

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!

I'm waiting for this as well.

I have seen photos of two NCL ships going thru the Panama Canal together.

Yes they will be together. Getaway will be back here tomorrow until Monday.

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

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.

 

MSC did a great duo sailaway from IJmuiden (Amsterdam) this year:

Yes, and I hope I can find parking at the dock! :(

I'm driving down to pier 88 just to check it out.

 

Cheers.

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.

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........:)

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:

[meatball_nyc]

She's there now!

Its 830 NYC time; what's that ship pulling in?

[meatball_nyc]

Getaway. Back from her CTN.

 

Correction: the new Bud Light Hotel.

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.

it looks like they are lifeboats in the water? :eek:

[meatball_nyc]

The Gem's lifeboats are in the water.

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

[meatball_nyc]

Haha.

Can't get fired cuz I haven't made final payment yet!!!!!

HA!! 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:

[barnacle_boy]

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]

I stand corrected. Thank you!

Makes sense now.

It was similar to when the Epic debuted here...she also had to drop some lifeboats...

Breakaway at the pier last Dec, quick shot from a heli tour.

[MissAQUAholic]

Hope there's no icebergs in the water this weekend with the few lifeboats missing = ) lol

 

Can't wait for my CTN on the breakaway this friday. Would abeen nice to be on that budlight hotel though. I can only imagine.
