LA_CA_GAL Posted May 20, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2016 We booked this cruise. And when it comes to planning, I am beyond ridiculous. Usually, when in Bermuda, the NCL Breakaway is also there. However, that week it is not. So, where is it? I went to the NCL web site, and nothing there for the Breakaway. I then went to the Roll Call. There is no roll call for that week. That is really strange for a ship of that size. I then started googling, and found the Port of Halifax Nova Scotia has the Breakaway there June 29. Strange, huh? Another strange thing, at least for me, is our cruise roll call is just about non-existent. Must have something to do with the “Bermuda Triangle”.

dkjretired Posted May 20, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Usually a quiet roll call means a group on a ship but who knows. Not strange that breakaway is going Nortn, Nest year Summit is going North for three weeks starting at the end of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prim8keeper Posted May 20, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 20, 2016 In my own experience both our Bermuda roll calls have been much quieter than others. Not sure why, but I wouldn't worry about it. On our previous Bermuda cruise there were very few elites and above so I suspect fewer people know about cc. We are going the week after you and it looks like Breakaway will only be in port on Friday and it doesn't arrive until 11 am! [emoji4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkjretired Posted May 21, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Just, curious..... what does it matter if the Breakaway is there or not?.....why would this be an issue? Less crowded, lots of people come off Breakaway especially first day when everyone is trying to buy transportation passes..

This is going to be fantastic.:D We will be the only ship. 5,400 less tourists to deal with. Buses, taxis, ferries, beaches, less crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn docking on June 26, Anthem docking on June 27, Summit docking on June 29. Dawn may have left by the time you arrive, but the Anthem may be giving you a little bit of company.;) Perhaps they leave the same day you arrive...it is only a 5 night cruise.

Those ships are gone when the Summit docks. The three days the Summit is in Kings Wharf are all by herself. http://ports.cruisett.com/schedule/Bermuda/338-Kings_Wharf/June_2016/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read on CC that the Breakaway is chartered that week and that's why it's not going to Bermuda. Just look at it with being lucky with one less ship in port! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabGuy64 Posted May 22, 2016 #13 Share Posted May 22, 2016 of course....

EStreetCruiser Posted June 2, 2016 #14 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I have not cruised in over 20 years and I only just discovered this site. So perhaps this Summit cruise also has a number of new cruisers who have not yet discovered this gem of a website and the generosity of it's members to share stories and information. Anyway - Looking forward to meeting people and having a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted June 2, 2016 #15 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hope you have good weather the whole trip. We got completely drenched on day 2 in Bermuda. We should've brought umbrellas but kept optimistically hoping it would pass. Boy, were we wrong. We were lucky to get a little sun on our first two sea days though. The absolute best day we had was with the day passes at Coco Reef Hotel. I would do that again in a heartbeat. Felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. Enjoy your cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
