seadog67 Posted October 24, 2017 Author #226 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Perfect port for a Cinderella story. Sent from my SM-T810 using Forums mobile app I have not even looked to see if they offered the Disney Shuttle this trip, but since we arrived late it may have made that excursion problematic.

seadog67 Posted October 24, 2017 Author #229 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Orleancruiser got the reference data above ... Hush ... nothing is going to happen to jinx the BA again anytime soon until she goes into drydock ... next year or what not. It happened to her on the way back to NY back in 2014 when she was relatively new ... sensational media headline that she's stranded on the Hudson River. Tug boats had to go out & help steer her into the berth, delaying arrival, etc. - news in Seatrade Cruise News: http://www.seatrade-cruise.com/news/news-headlines/norwegian-breakaway-delay-in-ny-due-to-caution-on-azipod-currents.html The question came up again last year as Q&A with the captain at a gathering, might've been the Latitude reception for Gold/Platinum at Fat Cats ... might've been about the bow thruster. Think positive & let's focus on positve news ... karma, chi, etc. That rain poncho reminded me of ours, when we're in Taiwan 2 years ago & brought them, just in case ... never used it and pack it along for Bermuda last May due to forecast - going to put them in the bottom as our guardian, to ward off mother nature's evil spirit (it worked before, LOL.) Only positive thought from me!! :) All systems are go! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadog67 Posted October 25, 2017 Author #236 Share Posted October 25, 2017 A few of the Officers Cruise Director, Was listening to Some people are very talented... others not so much, but fun none the less. Now we are out on deck 7 promenade to watch sail away. For all who have visited Port Canaveral, what are your thoughts on it as a stop?

Rare mking8288 Posted October 25, 2017 #237 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Watching the ship move away, sideway from the pier ... turning around to head out the basin & channel to sea. Everyone accounted for & back onboard, no pier runners to deal with - that is good. Last time we're there, delayed by almost 90 minutes & eventually unloaded luggage. PC stop isn't bad, problem is the time there is way, way too short - especially for those trying to visit the theme parks with children/kids. KSC, based on the present schedule, whether it's the BA or the Gem, is the only other worthwhile shorex of interest. One can only go to Coca Beach and Coca Village so many times without getting bored. Just my nickel's worth of thoughts, FWIW. That casino should be coming to life pretty soon, right ... SD67.

We feel the exact same thoughts on PC as a stop. The one visit on Quantum arrived at 6:30 and stayed until 9 so had plenty of time for the theme park excursion. That was an 8 day to be fair. You say the casino is opening? I will check and report back ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCapn Posted October 25, 2017 #240 Share Posted October 25, 2017 For all who have visited Port Canaveral, what are your thoughts on it as a stop? We like going to Ron Jon's and Cocoa Village, so the stop is just fine with us! Do wish it docked earlier so we could do a full day at Kennedy Space Center.

Do wish it docked earlier so we could do a full day at Kennedy Space Center. We enjoyed Ron Jon as well as the beach near there in good weather. We have been fortunate enough to have done this route many times along with Cocoa Beach area, so looked for something different this time. Guess we have to come back again and give it another go :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Lol. I was actually referring to Bill Murray in Caddyshsck right before the reverend in the pic you post grabbed him to caddy. I am surprised that this sailing docks so late in Port Canaveral. I already think it is way overpriced to go to any of them Disney, universal or Seaworld. Then to tack on the ship mark up. And for ony 7 or 8 hours including about 2 hours of travel. Just not worth the expense to me. Obviously a whole lot of people feel it is worth it or they would not be selling bus loads. But I just feel any of those parks are better served as a land based trip. The exception would be if I had park passes already (maby season pass holder) and only had to pay for transportation.

Sorry I cannot answer definitively as Mrs Seadog eats no seafood so that limits us going to OB. I can say I have orderd multiple apps in La Cucina and in Cagneys in the past. Hopefully someone else can give a more definitive answer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G935V using Forums mobile app Missed the reference, and at one time I had that movie memorized. As for the parks we rushed when we arrived at the park at 9 am and left at 5-5:30non quantum. On the current schedule you are probably right that it is at most 4 hours of park time. We will leave that to the younger folks to book :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue1260 Posted October 25, 2017 #249 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Great review I love the video's!! Breakaway is my favorite ship we have sailed her twice. Last time was this past May and we were in HC accessible AFT balcony on deck 11. We called NCL when booking and were assigned this cabin. Then were shocked that it was an HC accessible and the balcony was huge. Definitely could feel more movement but found it relaxing. Did you try to get a Vibe pass? We got lucky and got the last 2 really made our week great[emoji4] Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
