Dining at night on the waterfront. Moon, stars, gentle breeze just perfect.

Very informative-thank you!

[CruisinPandora]

The Waterfront was our favorite on the Breakaway. Can't wait to get back on her.

Now that my summer traveling is coming to a close, I am looking forward to my Breakaway cruise in April. It will be our first time sailing on one of the supersize ships.

I thought it might be fun to get some input in a different way. Give me your best thoughts, tips, ideas and observations in 10 words or less in regards to the NCL Breakaway.

Thank you for all of your feedback!:)

 

Vibe, Rock of Ages, buckets of beers.

No, I got that part of it, but thank you anyway. I was just curious why the poster I originally quoted suggested seeing Rock of Ages during an At Sea day rather than a port day. I'm just curious what the difference would be.

 

I'd prefer a Sea Day for RoA too. Partly because you'd have to rush back to the ship early to clean up and get ready for the show, and since BA docks for 2.5 days, it takes away from activities you could be doing in Bermuda at that time.

Just read your entire review of the Breakaway - great job - loved all the pictures. I am seriously contemplating getting to the port early so we can buy the Vibe passes, based on your review. We were on the Breakaway last year in April and it was hard to find chairs. I am figuring since we are traveling in August with (hopefully) warm sunny weather, the Vibe will be a great perk to our trip.

Just off the 8-9 sailing...no more fireworks. Many disappointed children and adults. Still tons of fun and tons of stuff to do, but yea. .disappointing

Safe sailing

When we were on the Dawn they cooked out by the pool. Do they do this on breakaway?

[tymike]

1. Lobster Roll from Ocean Blu on the Water Front. (Only open for several hours in the afternoon and only on sea days...check your daily)

 

2. If you go to the spa for a treatment...don't accept room #15 as it's directly below the weight room and shakes and booms with every weight being dropped on the floor above.

 

More than the allotted words...but I couldn't help it! :o

Breakaway = cookout = Uptown Grill

Deck 16

Breakfast and lunch

Good stuff.

[conandrob240]

It's not so much the "things" ( although it has great things), for me Breakaway is more about a "feel". It has a fun, cool, hip, lively peesonality. You just feel like having fun on her. Great vibe.

I usually go to the spa for a treatment- so this is very helpful. I wouldn't want my "drooling" to be interrupted during my massage! :p:p:p

After looking at some of the videos of the Breakaway, I think I can understand what you are talking about. I looks fresh and new. Thank you!

[workingmom200112]

RIvactiongirl, sorry to change the topic but I saw on a previous post I was reading that you have taken Academy bus. How long has it been since you used them? I don't know if I should drive or take academy. My cruise leaves on a Friday and the breakaway is still out so I'm worried about all parking being fill. The other option is academy, and all I can find about them is negative. I have never been so indecisive in my life! So if you can tell me about your experience I would appreciate it.

[RIvacationgirl]

Good morning fellow Rhode Islander!

We used Academy on our first cruise in 2012. We had a very good experience. We will most probably be using them again this April. They have changed the route now, we had picked them up in Pawtucket. But now they go to Green Airport, and the last time I checked they only had four stops along the way to New York. For us, as soon as we gave them our bags and got on the bus we were "on vacation". It was a reasonable price and they were on time.

 

I am not sure about the parking situation in NYC, but I believe I have read there is usually enough parking. We have never driven.

 

Good Luck, and tell me about the Breakaway when you come back!

Thanks for the Info RIvacationgirl! I am just going to go ahead and book the bus, and let my hubby sit back and relax for the trip to NY and back. And I'm going to stop over thinking this and just enjoy :D

 

I was on the BA a few years ago (my Nov cruise will be on the Gem), Make sure to visit Howl at the Moon...great time. And make sure to attend the parties that have in the evening in H20. We missed them on the BA because by the time they would have them in the evening I would be too tuckered out to attend. But last year on the Getaway I made sure I made it, and we had a blast.
