Breakaway - New Forward Design

[KJE Atlanta]

I just noticed the new forward cabin design on the new artist rendering of the Breakaway. The old artist rendering showed balconies; the new one shows what looks like portholes instead.

It is similiar to Epic. Since these ships travel at a fast pace, it is not wise to have balconies in the front of the ship. The suites at the top appear to have floor to ceiling glass or a solarium.

Good catch OP. I thought something looked different but until I saw your post I couldn't quite figure it out. Its probably for the better that the ship only has port holes out front because they are less likely to break than a solid door in the case of a large (dare I say rogue wave) similar to what happened on the Norwegian Dawn many years back now. Since she's going to be in the open Atlantic it is probably a much better idea then having to batten down the hatches every time there are rough seas like they do on the Jewel class ships.

Great catch. I kept thinking that "something" looked different but couldn't put my finger on it. :)
