Rare mking8288 Posted March 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Breakaway just went under the VZ Bridge a few minutes ago, doing 18 knots - super early arrival, must be an Easter Sunday special or something else ... for those curious & others tracking BA on a regular basis. Disembarkation should not be a problem later on this morning, I suppose. Surprised that nobody onboard posted any news - perhaps, most of them aren't aware or asleep at this hour. Just checked the NY Harbor cam, she's approaching SOL (now) still running about 18 knots - those living near the waterfront with a balcony view nearby can probably spot her moving up the bay (at Red Hook, Brooklyn at this moment) Final note - @ 1:50 AM, coming up the Hudson, passed the WTC / Jersey City waterfront ...

Rare mking8288 Posted March 27, 2016 Author #2 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Per posting by pax onboard BA earlier Saturday evening - there's a medical emergency, patient is stable but needed to be taken/transferred to a hospital. Ship has made the turn toward the pier, approaching terminal 88 now for docking (watching it on BA's live webcam) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Just got off the Breakaway, yes there was a medical emergency on board last night, we arrived back at midnight. Was an awesome cruise had a great time despite not getting to the private island (weather to bad to get tenders in) spent extra time in Nausea though which was nice. Enjoy your trip everyone. I hope you get to the Island. it looked like it would have been a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted March 27, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2016 My daughter was on this sailing and texted me @ 9:38AM this morning that they were in their car and driving home. Yes, they did miss GSC due to high winds preventing tendering, but they saw an Atlas V rocket liftoff from Canaveral the night before . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proll267 Posted March 28, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 28, 2016 We were in the haven restaurant when we heard of the medical issue. We then watched the BA run down Anthem in a drag race. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite CC typos ever -- the thought of calling Nassau does induce nausea for many experienced cruisers, including yours truly. :p Jk. Glad to hear you had an awesome cruise! :D Edited March 28, 2016 by Dave85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted March 28, 2016 Author #13 Share Posted March 28, 2016 ... when you got into Nassau were you able to get off the ship at night time? We've missed GSC 3 times over the years and once docked at Nassau - cleared by local authorities, pax are free to go ashore & stay out. There's no "curfew" - just check the ship/local time clock and return/be back on the next day for the scheduled all abroad & sailaway time ... or join the pier runner's club :eek: as your names are announced over the ship's PA system. Last 2 unscheduled mid/late evening arrival - most if not all the shops around the piers are closed (bars & restaurants still open) and there's not a whole lot to do unless one hop over to Atlantis for some action or wanted to exercise sea legs on solid pavements. :D Or, take some nighttime pictures right on the pier & not go past the gates or into the terminal.

We were lucky enough to get there (GSC) a couple of weeks ago so I was curious if you could leave the boat at night. Going to the bars at night might be fun! We enjoyed the cruise very much! Good to know as I have a friend sailing in April! She asked me what happens if they miss GSC and now I know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilpum430 Posted March 29, 2016 #15 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Out of curiosity, when you got into Nassau were you able to get off the ship at night time? Hi There, Yes, as soon as we cleared customs they opened the doors and you were free to come and go as you pleased. As long as you had your key card and passport/ID I was up on my balcony and heard local bars blasting music and watching people walk around on the pier. There were several other cruise boats their with us as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
