  1. The other day I posted a picture from my computer and was able to see it. I clicked the paper clip, selected the file from my computer and then closed the window and it appeared just fine. Do you have the option of posting a link here to where the file resides on flickr? I would love to see the menu as we are headed out this Sunday for b2b cruises on the Breakaway and will be in the Haven. We haven't been on the BA since last November so I'm sure the menu has changed. Thanks.

     

    Let me try again. I'm usually good with this kind of thing. Get the duck. It was amazing! Yes, I was on The Breakaway last Oct. and the menu has changed. I feel the lunch menu is a bit too "sophisticated" and has more of a dinner type menu. I prefer the pool area menu for lunch. The chicken Caesar salad wrap was delicious and so were the hot dogs. Breakfast is wonderful inside and outside. The upper deck butler was amazing. He brought us snacks, drinks, and sprayed us with a water bottle when it got hot. He got my vote for "Vacation Hero"

  2. :) Ok. I obviously need help with uploading photos from Flickr. I tried uploading the photos from my computer but they were way too small to see. Thought an online service would be better. Not so... :D Can anyone advise me as to how to post quality photos, large enough to see, either from my computer or an online service??? Thanks.

  3. Hi. Couldn't find the menu on the forum search and thought some of you may like to look at the latest Haven Restaurant dinner menu on The Breakaway. I've included a photo, albeit a bit blurry, of the lamb chops and duck. Both were great but I preferred the duck. Our server was so nice and just brought the duck out because she had overheard me say that I had a hard time deciding between the two.

  4. "Most" would rather go to Canada, where it was in the 50s today, and not somewhere warmer like they thought Bermuda would be? Not sure you can say "most" would be "pretty happy" with Canada, as it seems like the complainers just want money back for having their plans change. I for one (if I had been on that particular sailing) would have paid them EXTRA to not go to Canada. LOL

     

    I would NOT be happy going to New England. I just want sunny and warmth, even if it means staying on the ship the entire time.

  5. Well we are going on the 14th from Boston and I am not expecting any change as the storm will be long gone so not sure why you are expecting a change.

     

    I guess I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst. This storm is looking more ominous. Cat 3 possibly. The Weather Channel said they have never seen a possible direct hit on Bermuda like this. Still, they have a great infrastructure and deal with hurricanes well. My main focus is that Bermuda will be okay and no one will be hurt or left homeless.

     

    Any time on a cruise is a great time. :D

  6. Cagney's is my favorite. Service at Le Bistro is hands down the best and the food is delicious. I'm a meat and potatoes girl so that's why I prefer Cagney's. I have been on the Gem, Jewel, Pearl, and Breakaway. The Breakaway had the worst service for Cagney's by far. Rushed, forgot drinks, apps, etc. I just think the Breakaway has too many guests for the amount of personnel. Overall I love NCL. The MDR's are really good as well. Had an excellent chicken Cordon Bleu in the MDR and the turkey lasagna was great. La Cucina, was by far the worst meal. We wanted to get to a show and got there 2 hours early. Since the lasagna was so good in the MDR, I ordered it. Burnt on the bottom...I mean truly burnt. It was 1/2 layer of burnt. The manager came back and said he could bring me another dish. Too late. We had to get to our show and I was totally turned off to having another lasagna. I also noticed that those at the next table barely ate their meals. The manager also asked them if he could bring another dish and they said no. We all like different things. It's all perspective. Tip...O'Sheehan's has the best mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders. Fish and chips are good but they use cod which is very flaky. Kind of falls apart. Just my two cents....maybe a lot more than that. :) Either way, there is always something great to eat on an NCL cruise.

  7. We're leaving on The Breakaway on Sun the 16th. I'm fully expecting an itinerary change, which I'm fine with. Rather be safe. I'm just happy to be on a cruise!! Nicole is now a cat 2 and going to hit Bermuda directly on Thursday. The Royal Gazette stated: The storm’s slow movement could mean Bermuda will suffer 26 hours of tropical storm weather, with hurricane force winds for nine hours. Let's hope Bermuda comes through this ok.

  8. Horseshoe is a definite must see, even on crowded days if you walk to the left past the rock formations yoi can find tranquility. I am not a big fan of crowds, that's why I don't suggest going Day 1. If you want see something unique and nobody has mobility issues, there is a really cool place called 'Glass Beach' about 1 1/2 mile walk from the dockyard. While glass beach is not a good beach for swimming, it is an excellent snorkelling beach. There is also 'Snorkel Park Beach' justva couple hundred yards from where you dock. It is everything I dislike in a beach; crowds, bars and loud music- butvthe snorkeling there is outstanding because the depths vary in a short distance. If you have any more questions let me know. And you are right, you may save a few dollars paying as you travel, but having the passes are nice. Just make sure you ask the bus driver before you get on if it is going where you want.
    We were on the fence about Horseshoe because of the crowds but decided to go. It's just too beautiful to miss! I went 15 years ago and thought it was one of the prettiest beaches I'd ever been too. We also got a day pass at Cocoa Reef. The pass includes a three course lunch, one alcoholic beverage, beach chair, umbrella, use of the facilities and pool....all on Elbow Beach!!! So excited!
  9. That has been discussed on this board fairly often. Don't know why you could not find it. They are good on buses and ferries like the tokens. Problem for those whose ships dock at the Royal Navel Dockyard is that the ticket books are not sold at the Dockyard.

    You are now on my ignore list. How dare anyone ask a question!!

  10. People come on here to seek information ... What is the saying? If you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all. Maybe they don't know how to navigate the board.. If you can't help someone, don't bother responding...

    Ascott, exactly! Charles would rather demean people for not understanding his world or reality!
