Hey all. I will be on the breakaway next Sunday..traveling to Bermuda for my wedding. I wanted to book some spa services (a massage) as a surprise for two friends and myself the day of the wedding. I cannot find any prices or booking info online, does anyone have a spa services price sheet from a breakaway cruise?

Oh man, thank you so for telling me that! I had planned to make decorations for our entire groups stateroom doors on the Breakaway :/

Thank you! :)

Random question, on all of the Carnival and Royal ships I was on we were able to make magnetic signs and they stuck to the stateroom doors.

Has anyone used a magnet on the Breakaway cabin doors?

If you stay in the Newark or Secaucus area, try Independent driver - 888-816-0973 for a no frills service. Talk to Abdul.

Thank you! I will be calling all of these places in the morning!

We are paying for the bus that will take us into NY so we are not paying for everyone's rooms. We might plan on paying the transportation to the port depending on how much it is. We were hoping to get a larger bus or van to keep everyone together on the way to the port. I really appreciate everyone's suggestions.

Are you flying or driving? If you're driving, are you parking at the pier?

 

Tell me as much as you can about how you envision your trip. Hotel budget? Number of people/room? Type of beds? NY sightseeing plans? Arrival time?

Wow thank you so much for your suggestions! We will arrive in NY around 4pm on Saturday, and then Sunday we will head down to the NY port for the cruise. I am getting married in Bermuda so I will have a group of 16 of us taking a bus from Ohio to NY. We figured some couples would double up with a room with 2 beds so we planned on only needing 6 rooms for the group. I am not sure everyone's plans to sightsee on NY that night before the cruise. We had looked into hotels that were walking distance to sights in NY to make the evening more fun for the guests but they were way to expensive. I was looking for rooms $150 and under for the night. Price is our main concern at this point. The hotel has been the most complicated part of our planning!

Thank you markeb!

We are coming from ohio on a charter bus. The bus will drop us off at the hotel and then we will need to find other transportation from the hotel to the cruise port

We are even willing to do a NJ hotel if anyone has a suggestion!

Hey all, cruising on the Norwegian Breakaway on July 26th out of NY. We are traveling with a group and would need 6 rooms. I know we are late in the game here, but can anyone recommend a cheaper hotel? We've done a lot of looking, and now we are more worried about price than location. Thanks!

So if I just order coffee to be delivered to my room in the morning I will have to pay the $7.95 convenience charge?

I'm cruising the breakaway in July and had a question about the drink package. I have it, but another couple I'm cruising with doesn't. Will I be able to get drinks for them? How strict are they with this?

Hey there. I plan on getting my invitations out in the next week or so. That will be three months ahead of time, which I heard was good for a destination wedding. The cruise leaves July 26th so we put the rsvp date as July 1st. We figured anyone booking will have done it by then.

So far we have 10 rooms booked on the ship and 3 couples booked on the island.

My friends and family have been excited for the most part, but a little frustrated with the prices. Bermuda cruises are significantly pricier than Caribbean cruises so some had a hard time understanding why the room was so much...

Love the nautical decor! Yes, my wedding is this July. 3 months (!) eek!

So sorry to read about your mom. I look forward to the rest of your review! I am also taking the breakaway for my wedding in Bermuda in July! It's a great ship!

Thanks so much for the replies! The inflatable tubs...if you use them on the deck as a pool, how do you fill them?

Hello, wondering if anyone has cruises with a 2 year old before. Any suggestions/tips? I just saw that the child care is for kids 3 and up. Can anyone tell me their experience cruising with a 2 year old?

That is a good idea to just get the favor while I'm in Bermuda. The ship docks in Bermuda at 8am and the wedding isn't until 6:30...didn't want to get my hair done too soon and mess it up. And I'm guessing im getting of the ship pretty early and not getting back on. I'm having a realllly hard time planning out the hours before the ceremony!

120 days...eeek! Starting to get a bit panicky..... So much to do!

thanks! What did you use as favors? I've been looking everywhere for something that is relevant to Bermuda. Maybe little rumcakes or something. And I'm trying to figure out if I should get my hair done on the island or ship...which did you do?

Hey cruiselove87! Haven't talked to you in a long time! This is all finally coming together...4 more months!

Let me know if you have any other questions! I've been looking into this Bermuda wedding for over a year now, I'll try to help as much as I can!

I'm working with Kathleen, who is from Bermuda Event Solutions. So far, she had been very helpful. We are expecting about 30 people. 20ish on the cruise and the rest flying in.

The wedding is at Casos Point which is a huge two tier deck overlooking the ocean, and the reception is at Coconuts, which isn't exactly indoors, it's also a desk and the sides are all open. I went to the Reefs in August and it is stunning!

We aren't going through the cruise line because I really had my heart set on getting married on the island, and because we have people flying in that aren't taking the cruise.

When we were in Bermuda looking for a spot, we went "resort hopping", checking all of them out. As soon as we saw the reefs we stopped looking. The other resorts were soooo fancy, and mu finance and I are too laid back for such a place. The reefs is stunning! The views are seriously gorgeous! Good kick in where you decided to go with, let us know here what you pick! :)
