I'm on Breakaway right now. Any questions?

[MACE]

 

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

 

JoAnn:

 

Thank you so much for your feedback!

 

Being Saturday and a day at sea, hope you're all enjoying your last sea/cruise day! Don't know if you partake in the Casino, but if you do: we wish you luck @ your game of chance and that you have a safe journey home!

Thank you. I don't gamble much but I did come out ahead on the slots. :D

This cruise was wonderful! It was the best family vacation yet. The staff were always happy and helpful and really took time to talk to all of us.

[ncklhaus]

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

 

I've got them all. I'll do that.:D

[ncklhaus]

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!

 

There is a bartender on board that calls himself Big Al. I think his nametag says Alejandro though. He's at the bar Maltings on deck 8.

I know Al wasn't his full name.

I hope he isn't planning a vacation in the next month so we can see him on 11/16.

 

Thank you so much for checking.

If I see him before we leave tomorrow morning, I'll ask about vacation. You're very welcome.

Oh I did not mean to imply that you should do that, that is very kind of you.

 

Enjoy your last night!

Welcome home! I am dying to see a copy of the dailies for this Bahamas cruise!

[ncklhaus]

Is this him?

If possible, please post the dailies. Thank you :)

Hi, Thank You for all the info. I want to know if there are some discounts/specials for specialty dining once on board besides UDP. Thanks again.

[ncklhaus]

I'm currently working on it. :)

Not that I am aware of, but as I post the dailies I will review.

[bsblindab]

when you boarded, did you go to the buffet or the dining room? Is the dining room open on embarkment day? My sisterinlaw and brother leave on the 26th. He has issues walking and I think the dining room would be better for him. they still allow soda on board don't they?

[sbt518]

Is this him?

 

I can't get the facebook link to work. Can you put the picture on here?

If one wants to make a change to dining reservations in the MDR, where do they go at boarding? Do they go to the MDR?

[conandrob240]

? How would you make a change to MDR reservations? They are all open and freestyle-no ressies needed. Unless you are with a large group?

We went to the Main Dining Room. I think it was Taste. The scallops prepared like escargot was amazing! We brought a case (36 cans) of Coca Cola and 2 12 packs of Poland Spring water with us. They checked our waters to make sure it was not alcohol. I only know this because it was brought to our room after the rest of our luggage and a few bottles were removed from the packaging. Apparently, when you shake bottles of water they don't make bubbles, but alcohol does.

Either go to the Guest Service Desk or when in your stateroom , call the reservation desk. Easy peasy.

Reservations may not be needed but they are available for the MDR and I did make them online, but need to make changes. I'm used to traditional dining and like the ability to make reservations in advance.

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

 

 

Where do you fall in line to buy the pass? Thanks

It should work now. I had to change the privacy setting. Oops.:eek:

We have sailed the Breakaway twice this year (Me and DH) and we are boarding her again this Sunday. We take the Unlimited dining package and always have reservations for dinner. If you are planning on eating in any of the specialty venues, you should make advance reservations. Additionally, one night we walked past the MDR and there were about 200 people on line at the hostess desk. The hostesses were walking the line suggesting people go to Taste or Savor. People were not budging.

 

Make those reservations...... if you can. Freestyle is not quite as freestyle as we imagined it to be!

 

Enjoy!

Hi. I have been going through your first 2 days of dailies on your other thread. Thank you. Very helpful. We will be on the November 30th Breakaway sailing.

 

Just a question about the UBP. It seems the literature you are posting only makes reference to the $59/day package that includes liquor. I thought there was also a corks and caps package that was just beer and wine for about &44/day.

 

Have you come across this corks and caps option? Just wondering as we might get it for our sailing but the package would not be worth it for us if we each have to pay $15/day extra for the liquor option we would not use.

 

Thanks a lot!
