Breakaway and Getaway on the move!

chengkp75, does a system you describe needs that amount of space also around the base of the funnel (in the old setup that's were the air vents were, where extra structure is added)? I assumed the whole exterior installation was for the scrubbers, I am surprised to see actually scrubbers/exhaust in the existing funnel. 

 

And great pics Cruise Wonderland! 

Now that I look a bit more, those scrubbers sitting on their side could be a two engine scrubber (the two "bumps" on the right side of the blue tarp are the inlets), and the dampers in the stack shown are to divert to the scrubber.

@Steff79 - I thought this video was well done, thanks for posting. Very dramatic sound track was a bonus, lol.

Getting closer to cruising!

Getaway moved to another slip on the east side of the marina.

 

Breakaway is out of the dry dock (which remained wet the past weeks) and has moved to the other side of the pier where Getaway was before.

"The technology group Wärtsilä will supply Hybrid Scrubber system packages, specially customized to meet the specific needs of two cruise vessels. The ships are owned and operated by Norwegian Cruise Line. The 325 metres long ‘Norwegian Breakaway’ and ‘Norwegian Getaway’ vessels will be fitted with Wärtsilä scrubber systems…"

 

The process is continuing on other ships also:

 

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) and scrubber manufacturer Yara Marine Technologies have reported the finalisation of exhaust gas cleaning system (EGCS) installations onboard eight NCL ships.

Is that a recess for the climbing wall to return on the new funnel housing? 

 

edit: mid Oct pics btw!

wonder if the climbing wall and the rope course are coming back?

cruisecritic needs  more members in Marseile ( and Venice ) for more pics for us 🙂

Great pic. Your son looks like a fine young buc (as in buccaneer)!

Thanks for posting this pic @FreestyleNovice. I'm assuming from your comment that NCL has changed the design of the funnel on the BA (& GA)? Do you have any picture(s) showing the funnels closer up?

They look taller .. they gonna fit under the Verrazanno-Narrows Bridge anymore?   It was pretty close already, if i recall! 😲

I bet they were careful about that! would be embarrassing to have a ship painted for NYC that can't go there.

Breakaway is over 18 meters lower than Oasis, which only had to retract the stacks by 3-4 meters to clear.

Quite a silhouette..

No NCL Emblem?

maybe extra large took longer time to build 

But next to the epic haven the funnel looks small 🙂
