joeski27 Posted February 22, 2013 #876 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Yeah guess they have to get her out of there - all those pieces of the Getaway are just sitting there waiting for room in which to be assembled! Kind of a "you don't have to go home, but you gotta get the heck out of here" situation for Breakaway. You can see there is still loads of non-structural work yet to be done with her though; all the balcony dividers have to be put in, including the ones on the huge M6 mini-suite balconies towards the front of the ship (which is what we have booked for 5/19). And not to mention all the interior stuff, which will at least take a couple of more months to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeski27 Posted February 22, 2013 #877 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Love the crew place in the front of the ship. No longer do they just get a small pool and have to sit in the sun. It looks like they added cabanas and a nice place to get out of the sun. Nice! What exactly are you looking at when you say this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambee Posted February 22, 2013 #878 Share Posted February 22, 2013 What exactly are you looking at when you say this? It looks like little curtains, I imagine that is what he means by cabanas. It looks like a nice place for them to be outside without the sun killing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbja99 Posted February 22, 2013 #879 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Has anyone been able to tell from the many photos posted here or from any inside knowledge that they have what the layout of the owner's suite cabins on the breakaway/getaway may be? It looks like a long and relatively narrow cabin on the deck layouts. Unfortunately, NCL tends to put the view in the bathroom in a multi room cabin like this. You don't that they'd possibly do that on an OS, do you? I can't find an OS on any other ship that doesn't have a view from both the living area and bedroom, but also every one of them seem wider than these two do. Thoughts?

dstewart1075 Posted February 22, 2013 #882 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I have a quick (maybe foolish) question. If we are supposed to dock at Heritage Wharf in Bermuda, why does my itinerary show Kings Wharf? Do they just list King's Wharf as a stardard thing?

They are the same thing - one end is called King's Wharf. The other end of the pier is Heritage Wharf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not that much time between the ships final departure from Papenburg until her arrival in Rotterdam, or around 6-7 weeks. Most of the interior, and especially the exterior work, will be done before she leaves the shipyard in early March (around the 8th-10th?) to head downriver on her conveyance, which is a HUGE high profile and high visibility public relations event. Outfitting of soft furnishings and heavier public room furnishings will be completed at Eemshaven after sea trials, before NCL takes delivery of her, and before she leaves (April 25th?) for Rotterdam to arrive on April 26th. .

goldens4ever Posted February 22, 2013 #886 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks again for all of the information about how this miracle of building a ship this size happens!!! Can't wait to see the interior pictures....and I hope some of you wonderful people will share pictures of your aft suites...and all other amazing cabins....with those of us who are balcony cabin folks....I am fine with my cabin...but I love to see what else is out there....so when I hit the lottery....:D....I'll know what I am getting!!!!

johnnypiano Posted February 22, 2013 #887 Share Posted February 22, 2013 So excited for the Breakaway! DW and I will be sailing on 9/8/13. So happy to see there are other people out there who are just as excited! So much useful information on this forum. I can't wait to see pictures once people start sailing!

Again...THANKS!!! This is awesome! Pumped!! But I will say, now that the float-out is within sight, I have officially decided that once interior photos start to emerge, I am going to go into a Breakaway/Cruise Critic blackout. We're sailing on 5/19, and for once I want to wait to be completely surprised by the actual interiors of the ship on the day we board. Not often that one gets a chance to do that these days, so I'm going to make the most of it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck...and bring back pics for those of us too weak to join you in the blackout!!!! Yeah, it is true, gonna take a lot of self control to pull that off. But the way I look at it, the real interior photos shouldn't come streaming in until late April/early May when the first official passengers are onboard (or very likely, not until they have disembarked and had a chance to upload photos). So really, I'll only have maybe 2-3 weeks of avoiding photos once they've hit the internet. Now if we were doing a June or July sailing, that would be a different story, LOL, and I wouldn't even bother trying to avoid the pictures. Of course, NCL will probably throw out a few teaser photos on the "Building Breakaway" blog between now and then, and maybe I check a few of those out, but after that I'm cutting it off! Either way should be a phenomenal ship, can't wait 'til May! :cool: Oh, and by the way I should, and have been meaning to mention, I'm very glad to have gambee on my cruise, takes a lot of pressure off of me (being a photographer) that not only will I have a top-notch photo-reviewer covering this ship, he'll actually be on our very sailing! Sure saves me from having to drag along my $10K worth of Canon DSLR camera gear, which I was actually considering at one point seeing as how this was a new ship and could get some never-before-seen photos. Very much looking forward to his anticipated coverage of the ship! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpelson Posted February 23, 2013 #892 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I am amazed how complex a cruise ship is, how it can be put together in pieces, how it can be done on time (assuming it works as planned), and done on budget, etc. This contrasts with ... . Way to go NCL and the shipyard! And way to go CC, I've learned a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect to see pictures well before that. The shipyard and NCL often open the Ems River conveyance up to travel agents (even Cruise Critic moderators and managers have been on them), shipyard VIP's, and media reps. It's not uncommon to even see some interior pictures of the ship just prior to the conveyance, and especially if Andrea Depping gets a permit for interior access. .

Fair enough, I don't doubt this either. So if nothing else, this means I'll just have to be on my toes that much more in order avoid seeing the interior shots, but either way shouldn't be problem. Well worth it in my opinion for this very unique, sparkling ship ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treacher1 Posted February 23, 2013 #896 Share Posted February 23, 2013 On deck plan does anyone have any guess what the area will be on starboard side of deck 15 Breakaway? Cabins on port side - left just says coming soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
