I'm on Breakaway right now. Any questions?

[ncklhaus]

are you using the ship's internet to post here? what's the charge? Is it a fast connection? Does the iConcierge app work at all?

 

Thanks in advance.

The connection is very fast. It was $89 for 1000 mb. I've not used half yet.

I am using the app but without other people using it, I don't see that it is necessary. If your friends are on Facebook and/or have the Internet plan, it's not necessary. It us fantastic for checking your account and to see what's happening around the ship.

I second the Internet. I'm on this cruise also with the 1000 MB plan. It's prob 3G speed. We have three iPhones and an iPad sharing and still have over 400MB left.

What are your thoughts on the food? Have you tried the Main dining rooms or any specialty restaurants?

You mentioned Vibe so I'm guessing you were able to score a pass. Now that you're on the ship do you find that Vibe was worth the cost?

 

I sail in 2 weeks so I'm excited to hear your thoughts.

 

Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions!

We've eaten in Taste, Teppanyaki, Cagneys, O'Sheehans, La Cucina, Uptown Bar and Grill, tonight is Moderno. I cannot say one bad thing about any restaurant. Cagneys fries are everything you have heard and even better. We're going to try the raw bar and Shanghai tomorrow.

What deck do you enter on when you initially embark?

I'd love to know what day the laundry bag special is offered. We're on the next sailing and I want to know if I can cut down on my packing! :D

We are leaving Sunday, and I'm busy packing. Anything you did not pack that you wished you had :). Any last minute tips or things we should make sure to see or do? I am so excited!!

Not Julie anymore. She also got off last week. Its JC !

Just posted this question on the boards but I guess you would know first hand :). How much is a can of soda on board? Trying to figure out if the soda package is worth it or not but can't do that unless I know how much each one would cost if purchased separately Thanks

 

 

Bring your own case of soda on board. Porter takes it at the curb and it will be delivered to your room

Would love if you could hang on to the Dailies to post when you return!

I was just wondering if you'd run across a bartender named Big Al while on board. He was one of our favorites from the Star and he said he might be going to the Breakaway when we last saw him.

 

We're going to be on board in November, just wondering if he is still around.

 

Thanks!

Hello, I am interested in finding more about Vibe. What is the cost, is it true there are limited passes, is it worth it, and if I go for one is this something I can do before getting on the ship or should it be one of the first things I do? Thanks for taking the time to do this!

[conandrob240]

I'll help a little here. No jazz brunch. Vibe passes cannot be purchased prior to sailing, yes, limited number (50?). If you aren't among the first few groups to board and line up, you won't get a pass. Do a search for the price

JoAnn: thanks for being available for answering Questions!

 

Have a few more for you:

 

Did the Breakaway sail on time Sunday @ 3pm?

 

I believe there is a Welcome Aboard show on Sunday @ 7:30pm?

 

Water slides, Rope Course/Walk the Plank, and Zip Line: do you sign a waiver and get a wrist band and then the days you want to partake, just just get in line when they're open?

 

Thanks again for answering our questions!

Yes, we sailed right on time.:)

The welcome aboard show was at 7pm in the theater.

We did not sign any waivers for those activities, but you have to sign one for the Hippo Slide in GSC.

There was no waiting for anything! Just amazing. :D

I believe they sell 80 passes. They were $79 each for the week and worth every penny!

I'll ask around and let you know.
