Rare shof515 Posted September 6, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2019 The breakaway is at GSC now delivering supplies and other things .maybe Norwegian might release an update later today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted September 6, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2019 GSC does not require much in supplies. Each ship visiting offloads the day’s food and drink when they arrive. We assumed that getting 1000 crew members to the island would speed cleaning up of debris, repair of any damage, raking sand, and resetting thousands of loungers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorious8 Posted September 7, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 7, 2019 So this thread had me curious of something since i misread the title. Do those who were stuck on Breakaway get extra loyalty points for their extra days at sea? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alatraveler1 Posted September 7, 2019 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2019 We've skipped GSC both times we were supposed to stop there. Never laid eyes on the place except through binoculars as we sailed right on by so i don't know how much damage could be done. Isn't that where they were constructing a mega pool and lounge amenity only available to Haven passengers at an extra fee $$? Regardless, without having to reprovision the island and just offloading many things needed for the day, hopefully things were able to be tied down and secured before the storm passed.

The same with us except we have gone there a couple of times: generally it was too windy to tender in. This has also happened to us on RCI and HAL Actually on one HAL ship some people did get to the private island for a few minutes but had to com back to the ship. We were planning on going later in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were planning on going later in the day I've heard that a lot and it's disappointing regardless of the line. ,I wish the money spent on the new Haven area would have been put towards a pier. Not to get into an old complaint, but you don't hear DCL missing Castaway nearly as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuliHuli Posted September 8, 2019 #10 Share Posted September 8, 2019 We are batting .500 on GSC; missed it the first past and had a great day the second try. Once ashore, it is a very relaxing beach excursion with all the food and drink you would want. We have a large cabana reserved for our November cruise and hoping for the best. 🤓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormynow Posted September 8, 2019 #11 Share Posted September 8, 2019 RCCL island next door is open, so GSC should be OK. We hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they would do the same with "all the food and drink you could want" at Harvest Caye in Belize, what a joke that was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted September 9, 2019 #13 Share Posted September 9, 2019 We surely hope, sending thoughts & prayers ... natural disaster assistance are heading toward those northern Bahamas islands flatten & for all practical purposes, many parishes wiped out entirely. Proud of the USCG to be among the first responders. See this article - http://bahamaspress.com/2019/09/08/the-people-of-abaco-are-really-hurt-by-the-governments-response-in-the-aftermath-of-hurricane-dorian-listen/ Basic & essential services hasn't been restored yet and telecommunications remained offline.

*Luv2Cruz* Posted September 12, 2019 Author #14 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Just read this online. As scheduled, the Norwegian Sky will call on Great Stirrup Cay beginning tomorrow. The private island is open and ready to receive guests.[emoji41][emoji16][emoji3][emoji111][emoji106] Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudo to NCL for the "Double Up" - raising its pledge/commitment to help Bahamas restore & rebuild, from $1 million originally to now $2 million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
