Every Day at Sea is a Great Day

[mking8288]

We arrived PC at 11:30 am, no engine problems n sea was calm to us. Crowds gone off the ship but plenty of folks staying onboard. Rope course is open n sun is out, a but chilly but no snow to deal with, we heard. Food is good and no wait for 6 of us at Manhattan MDR with reservation, right after Rock - a 60 min. show. Jungle fantasy dinner show was well worth the $30 p/p charge. Booked Le Bistro for Friday already since we got extra OBC surprise n will do Moderno tonight. Day 2 was lobster tail in buffet plus seafood, not in MDR - but a bit tough n overcooked. We had pasta n salmon, both good for a late, light dinner. Going to GSC next, no words about skipping n with priority disembarkation, we will go if weather is good.

On our inside, we have two 110 volts 3 prong outlets to use, and two 220 volts outlet if you bring your own adapter to use with since it doesn't have a single cup drip coffee maker w mug like our balcony cabin. Room steward quickly emptied our refrigerator's content the first night so we are storing 3 1 liter soda and 2 20 oz. water bottle, and temperature for frig. is adjustable. Loved the Mango water in the buffet.

Let us know how GSC goes tomorrow.

We call the lagoon "Pirate Island Little Lost Lagoon"

Here's the "secret" map we made:

 

Happy Sailing!!

Thanks, Robin. Nice aerial map. Will see what's ahead for GSC as water temp is cool n NAssau in mid 70's both tomorrow n Thursday. NCL's iCon app works fine on iOS n Android to check account, book dinner n tours, etc Internet or WiFi is SLOW, download above app before leaving then activate once onboard quickly to use. Capt. Hoyt is running the ship, Dan is CC, great team of officer n crew, steward greeted us by first name n knocked to let us know our luggage was outside the hallway. Small M&G yesterday and officers attended n took some questions, and we chatted briefly with 2 of them in MDR at night as they walked by. Latitude reception is Wed. evening at 7:30 for silver n up. Loving it, regular balcony is bigger inside w sofa bed but outdoor is small. For easy packing, use packing cubes as they are great with open shelves, could use a small desk drawer but plenty of space inside bathroom for storage.

Inside cabins are narrower so space for a single airbed is very tight even if it can fit, stick with the upper Pullman bunks as I recall question being asked. Smoke inside casino wasn't too bad. The only problem thus far, too many specialty dining choices for 7 nights, LOL.

You're welcome.

 

Again, thank you for the tips and info! Did you or anyone you know get any of the wine packages? Wondering how they were.

 

Your biggest problem is which restaurant to eat in every night?? well, sounds like "meatball problems" lol.

 

70* temps sound like a heat wave. It was 18* here this morning, we're getting snow tonight and tomorrow.

 

Enjoy your Stay on Breakaway and bring her home safe and sound.

 

Cheers!

There are plenty of deck chairs for sunbathing, trick is to go forward n higher up, deck 17 or 18 as chair hogs are nowhere around. We are going to Taste MDR for 6:30 as booked n will check out wine package n post later if we get a cahnce . BTW, AT&T has a stronger signal vs T-Mobile, both LTE/4G on the ship in port, key is to find a good spot. We will bring some warm weather, sun n ship in good care when we return. Yeah, cold n snow, we planned it that way. lol.

MKING. Can you tell me who's playing in fat cats, since slam has left. Thanks a lot.

 

So glad you're enjoying the ship. Thanks for the updates

[mking8288]

Ebon. Will do.

Capt. Hoyt just gave update, plan is to sail toward GSC tomorrow forecast for island is mixed. If not good, plan to head for Nassau instead, overnight? Standby as some might be happier w this chilly wind of 70's. No cooking is good anywhere. Starting to pull up gangways n last trailer left the pier w fresh supplies. Lamb tonight in MDR was good, Indian style.

Did you guys skip GSC ?

Looking at the webcam now, and you're either late or going straight to Nassau.

 

Hope things ok.

Per the webcam now, it appears that the Breakaway might be in Nassua.

Looks like they may of skipped GSC today. I wonder if the waters were too rough to anchor out.

Must have been really windy.

That stinks. First time in quite awhile, too.
