beachmonkey Posted April 5, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 5, 2013 It dies sound promising! Fingers crossed that the weather and other factors remain favorable. Either way...it will be a great vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailingnut Posted April 5, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I sure hope it is ready! I have been to Bermuda three times and it is so beautiful! I am going on a 12-day Southern Caribbean on the Breakaway in January, it sure will be cold sailing out of NYC but warm very soon after that!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbag124 Posted April 8, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 8, 2013 When you you think NCL would announce a change in itinerary? I wonder if it would even be before the 1st sailing on 5/12?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are some of the must do's in Bermuda if you don't mind me asking... ;):p If you haven't checked the Bermuda Ports of Call board, you should. Lots of information there.

$hip$hape Posted April 8, 2013 #14 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Thank you BlueSea777 for those pictures! What are some of the must do's in Bermuda if you don't mind me asking... ;):p Thank you for your cup-half-full ironic humor (I think ?) I hope the politics in Bermuda doesn't make this paridise another Hati. *The expression is a term for self-destructive actions, motivated purely by anger or desire for revenge.

Don Haynes Posted April 9, 2013 #16 Share Posted April 9, 2013 When you you think NCL would announce a change in itinerary? I wonder if it would even be before the 1st sailing on 5/12?? If the wharf isn't finished in time for the Breakaway, in the same manner as the Dawn from Boston, NCL will tender at Bermuda instead. There won't be any itinerary changes to go elsewhere. The repair work is expected to be finished, but like anywhere else, bad weather can delay construction or repairs. As for politics, every country's politics is unique, but overall local politics is the same every where else as well. Politicians are more interested in scoring brownie points with their political dogma than they are in actually accomplishing anything. What bothers me more than anything else is that repairing the wharf is costing $22 million. That is a lot of money for a small number of steel pilings to beef up the wharf. Where does all the money go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneD Posted April 9, 2013 #17 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thanks for posting the pictures. Sure looks like no one is working though. Seeing as we will be on the May 10 Dawn sailing to Bermuda I've suggested in the Royal Gazette to let our sailing "dryrun" the new dock to see if it is ready for the Breakaway! After all the Breakaway will be there a day after we leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
