Breakaway July 1 -10 photo blog/review

Chesneygirl · July 11, 2016

I was so excited to see your post this morning. Your photos are wonderful and I love your vacation videos! I've been following your videos since I stumble on to your Dawn 2-bedroom suite video on YouTube years ago. We're doing the breakaway next month in a Haven H4 also, so this is like a sneak peek!

Also we must have similar taste, because just like you we were considering doing a pre cruise night at the Marriott Marquis. What were your thoughts on the hotel? Location seems perfect as we hoped to do Times Square, The Empire State Building, and possibly a dinner at Keen's Steakhouse. Any input (or photos) would be much appreciated!

Anxiously awaiting the rest!

The Marriott Marquis is perfectly situated right in the heart of Time Square.

We were literally just steps away from anything we wanted to see and do.

I was originally booked at the Double Tree because the Marriott was a little pricey when I first started looking at hotels. About a week before the cruise I happen to check prices and saw that it had dropped significantly. So I cancelled the Double Tree reservation and booked the Marriott. I think we paid something like $286 for the night. The revolving roof top restaurant/bar is really neat to see. We didn't eat there but we did enjoy a couple of drinks.

We would definitely stay there again!

Next port day was St Thomas. We were so torn between taking a ferry over to St John or staying on the island. In the end we decided to stay and go to Megan's Bay.

Sun coming up over St Thomas.

Great review---pics are outstanding--was there a Pullman bed (came down from ceiling) in the second bedroom?

Chesneygirl · July 11, 2016

I should mention that the Escape was in port with us as well. Here are a few of the Escape as it is getting ready to leave St Thomas.

The sun setting over St Thomas as the Breakaway says good bye.

Yes and both of my kids 17 and 20 years old stayed in that 2nd bedroom. They were fine and said they never slept better!

You can see the pull down on the ceiling in this photo. Once I do a video tour of the suite you will see it all set up for them.

Hi

We have been on the breakaway 4 times and agree with you. In the Haven was Ren the attendant? He is the best. We are going in Aug in the courtyard.

Thanks

This was my 4th time on the Breakaway and just when I think the next cruise can't get much better, it just does! We are huge fans of NCL. They have the best crew at sea and that really does make a difference in the experience.

I did not run into anyone named Ren in the Haven courtyard.

Do you have copies of the Dalies

Thanks

Sorry I do not. We threw everything out thinking they wouldn't be of any use to anyone since the itinerary was a unique one time thing.

We arrived in Tortola very early the next morning. The Escape was already docked.

For an excursion in Tortola we did Escape to Jost Van Dyke. This was definitely a great time and one of many highlights from our cruise. We sailed over on the Rebel Yell catamaran. Tip: don't sit in the very front unless you don't mind getting soaked. We sat in the front both ways. Coming back was much worse. People were feeling the effects of their alcohol and begging the Captain to go faster over the waves which she happily obliged. It felt like we were on a wet roller coaster ride! Lots of fun!!

Being a huge Kenny Chesney fan, I have always want to visit Ivan's beach bar that he made famous in his music. It was an easy walk over from the Soggy Dollar but make sure to where your shoes. The walk over gets a little rocky.

Your pictures are so beautiful! If my husband liked tropical weather, I'd be looking for jobs in any of these places ASAP, ha!

We lived in Cambridge, MA for a time and it was his favorite place ever. Too cold for me and I hope I never have to dig another car out of snow again! :)

I can't wait to hear about the rest of your unique trip, thanks for the great review!

Chesneygirl · July 11, 2016

Back in Tortola. Some photos of the Escape and Breakaway together.

Up next will be some sea day random photos before moving on to Bermuda.

This was the last glimpse of the Escape and Tortola before heading out to sea again.

Ha I feel the same way! Unfortunately I'm stuck with cold winters for awhile longer. My husband isn't retiring anytime soon. [emoji4]

The ocean was incredibly blue and silky smooth. The ship felt like it was just gliding along.
