Breakaway Semi Live: Oct 29 - Oct 5, 17 Halloween Storm Special, Take #2

[dexddd]

Did they switch from Aquafina to Acqua Panna?

 

Did they also have an "American" night at the buffet? I recall seeing the various themed nights last time we sailed.

MKing - I know you only have one more night but can you turn your balcony light off tonight? WWHH95's meds haven't kicked in yet.

 

 

 

Have a great rest of your trip home.

 

 

 

Hahahaaa!!!!!! Good one dexddd [emoji1]

 

Thanks mking for the buffet and menu photos.

 

Looks like a nice ride home.

Did not use the App for calling or texting, sorry - can't help w that. But the hidden iPhone & iPad trick use are largely blocked, best to have a plan b and c. Some loopholes still work w my Androids, explain those later on.

 

Aquafina is still the main deal, Mrs M got those on request only at the casino bar.

 

Taste was not busy at lunch time today until late.

 

Duty-free prices for smoking.

ROFL. Just shut the blackout curtains

 

Meanwhile, we smell sewage again near our hallway again, $250 for service call ... they've been warned again.

 

My own serious issue, those spring mattress are bad for sleeping & need to be replaced at 5 years??? Spoke w Guest Services the other day ...

 

Chilling out, tonight is the Farewell by crews & officers after ROA in the Theater ... early dinner.

Hey Dexddd, every night is American Night at the BUFFET, of hot dogs, burgers, fries, pizza, wings, meatloaf, and meatballs [emoji23] & pasta, etc. plus Indian & Asian choices. But I will look again, just for you. No problem.

 

Pork options are limited and variety of choices can be debated, food opinions being highly subjective ... can't say anyone is hungry around here, looking at waistline indexes.

 

There are some kids & teen tv shown free but no dedicated channel at all. YouTube is blocked but I can play videos on news link just fine, streaming isn't going to be easy, if at all.

For those sailing next week or soon, ship is in fine shape overall. Platinum & Gold, go to CruiseNext desk to show your KeyCard to get those special color luggage tags if you aren't in a hurry. We can stay in our cabin till 9 AM. Info below as FYI.

 

Down to about 300 MB now, but with us - this plan worked and SMS texting allowed us to stay in touch using our cellular plan, more when we get back.

I had forgotten that self walk off now needs luggage tags. Thanks for your live review. Which ship do you prefer, Breakaway or Gem? Even thou we enjoy both ships the Gem is still my favorite. Time for you to start planning your next cruise or maybe I missed it and you already have. Enjoy your last two nights.

[mking8288]

Gershep, you got ahead of Dexddd ... we like the smaller ship, Gem was great, hard to explain.

 

Today's menu from Taste, while in the Theater waiting for show to start

They do the farewell show a full 36 hours before the cruise ends?

yes. if they have other events/shows planned for the theater on the last night of the cruise. In some of the daily, it seems they do a magic show act 2 on the last day as the last show

[English101]

Thanks for sharing your vacation! Loved your review. Counting down the hours til I board.

[mking8288]

Ice carving.

 

GSC & laundry info.

 

From BA auditorium - theater, farewell.

Hey Mking, you said you had a room near the aft elevators, we will too when we sail in 3 weeks, just wanted to know how noises it was from people or elevator sounds. Maybe rethinking our choice to an Aft Balcony [emoji12]

i think it is so that people can adjust to the new time. If NCL changed the clocks on the actual day, people might get up late which could effect debarkation and other turn around day things

Not OP but we were in 9876 on BA and thought it was a fantastic location. No noise issues and very convenient to dining and activities.

[mking8288]

Good morning, 9:20 ship's new time. Line for MDR breakfast, need to use beeper but only waited 10 minutes.

 

Moderate Gale force wind, 8 ft. sea and chilly outdoor, slowly cruising at 13.5 knots.

Thanks - except I forgot MKing actually had 2 more nights.

[dexddd]

MKing - I just realized you've incorporated some of the hot topics here on CC into your review and it hasn't exploded into controversy. You talked about chair hogs, water, and smoking (cigarettes). Great job!

[dexddd]

I was half joking about "American" night in the buffet. You really didn't have one? Our last trip on Gem they actually had the little cards like you showed for the buffet but they said "American" night.

 

Also about pork, it seemed our last few trips a lot of pork and figured it was a money saving option for NCL. Interesting you aren't seeing much.

[mking8288]

Don't worry about noise around from elevators & stairs, and no serious vibrations - 9288. Assembly Station inside Manhattan MDR

 

 

Dexddd, they must be reading my blog ... more grilled items tonight. And, sadly ... we need to pack. But, gained 1 extra hour overnight.

 

Down to less than 100 MB so pix will resumed when we get land signal, unless it is priority.
