JustAPilot Posted December 6, 2021 #252 Share Posted December 6, 2021 What a pr disaster for NCL, either cancel the cruise or put these people in a hotel for the night while they investigate and contact trace. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmtx Posted December 6, 2021 #253 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Other than marine trackers that shows she is still in Port, are there any other updates as to her departure time and new itinerary? No offense, but I feel this thread is really off the track for those of us just looking for updates on Breakaway. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you but you can now see why I retired. People just want to argue for no good reason. I saw to much death and destruction from Covid and still feel the effects emotionally.

Ppl onboard are posting what they can , we just have to be patient and wait for more news. I wouldnt expect an update beyond what we got till they sail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's link to NCL Breakaway's live shipcam, usually in real time (check the date/time stamped on the upper ... - it's been known to freeze and sometimes offline for maintenance & maritime safety reasons) As of this moment, anchored & tied at the cruise pier, doesn't look like they are ready to sail yet - refresh it to check again.

That's okay, to each her/his own. Reminds me to pack some energy snacks, crackers & the refillable water bottle ... delays happened before, when there're norovirus cases onboard that exceeded the 3% - just like now, embarkation for the subsequent sailing were massively delayed. In addition to local health authorities with jurisdiction, I would not be surprised if the USCG and/or Edited December 6, 2021 by mking8288 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must assume NCL and every other cruise line has prepared exactly for this situation. On the Encore, they have a whole shoreside medical staff onboard just for covid testing. I presume all the other ships do as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted December 6, 2021 #271 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Just watching shipcam live update now, was offline before - lines released already from the cruise pier ... getting ready to push away from the terminal any moment now and get underway. Released by authorities and clear to sail (USCG & US PHS had to board & conduct a comprehensive inspection before clearing the BA after norovirus was reported onboard, I would not be surprised if this was conducted as well ... in addition to other measures per local health officials) I wonder if some of officials will remain onboard & sail down the River-Gulf Outlet Canal overnight before getting off. Have a safe one to all onboard, despite the delay ... Bon Voyage ☺️ And, washy washy, happy happy ! Edited December 6, 2021 by mking8288 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigrednole Posted December 6, 2021 #275 Share Posted December 6, 2021 It had to be agonizing waiting for everything, not knowing the restrictions, etc. The masks are no big deal. We wore them most places indoors on Carnival Magic the other week. Having to wait around with no information for so long had to be stressful. They should have allowed people to leave the terminal to at least get out and enjoy New Orleans. I would have been on Bourbon Street having a few cocktails while they sort things out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
