Live from Norwegian Breakaway (Western Caribbean) - December 17-24, 2023

@HoosierShipmate, really enjoying your descriptions and the pictures!  If you can make it into Syd's, the show is definitely worth it.

 

A tip from me, if you don't like the dessert in a specialty restaurant....it's perfectly OK to go back for dessert in the MDR!  Did I tell you I love the MDR Soufflé😉

@Sand and Seas Very good tip - I think at that point we were in carb overload and I was just trying to make sure nobody fell asleep and we could make it to the Glow party! Lol. And the soufflé- you may have mentioned that haha.  Sorry I didn’t get a pic of one to make you drool!

[HoosierShipmate]

Glow party night was last night. @PaperSniper4 and @RocketMan275 I am now firmly in the ‘cruise director useless’ camp more than ever before I think. 
 

I don’t really get into the nightly theme parties but enjoy the glow / white / rave party night.  I consider myself an ‘elderraver’ and much to my family’s chagrin I love EDM music and DJs etc. - usually glow and the white party type events are the closest they get to this while keeping a ship full of all ages and demographics happy.

 

We stayed for maybe 20-30 minutes and if I heard the words ‘glow party’ one more time I was going to go take his microphone away and throw it overboard lol.  Yes you should hype it up and get it started but at some point we know where we are -  just let us enjoy it!

 

 

 

My weird rant is over now 🙂

Good morning from somewhere in the middle of the Gulf on our last full day. Sad but we will be sure to make the best of our day!  Forecast is in the low 70’s today.

 

 

This position is just a bit behind and we are slightly north of this.

If you end up bowling, I’m curious how much it costs. We haven’t done bowling on a cruise yet so we might check it out on our upcoming trip. Thanks for posting the menus, I would have ordered the coconut shrimp and baked brie salad. 

If I remember correctly $6 per person

Not yet… and ‘get to’ is more like have I been ‘coerced into’ playing 🙂.

Some folks earlier asked about casino limits.  I have not seen them get a poker game running other than the tournament. Blackjack seems to be $10 minimum at all tables. Roulette was a $10 minimum with $2 chips. Let it Ride was the only $5 table I saw. Plenty of slots in every denomination even keno with a decent pay table if you’re into that.

Savor for breakfast this morning - and @RocketMan275 I ordered my eggs specifically for your enjoy  Random food shots from the table with my main entree first:

look at those yolks @RocketMan275!

 

 

 

 

Grits for the first time this sailing - slightly runny but delish

Eggs look great.  I made over easy this morning.  Dogs got one.

Grits look fine but need some salt and pepper.

You might try a couple of over easy eggs in the grits.

BTW, do they have biscuits and gravy?

There wasn’t B&G on the menu, but they had it on the buffet the other day.  I added salt and butter to the grits and they were pretty good.

It’s warm and sunny now and all chairs are taken.  We were lucky to find two and two earlier right after breakfast. The Those at the end of the second pic have been empty since we arrived at the pool. If I wasn’t in a chair I would have already removed the towels and acted innocent when they finally arrive later this afternoon! 
 

 

 

 

[HoosierShipmate]

Still empty.

@Cruzin64647 Yes - we will be at Cagney’s tonight so it may be slightly different but will take and send.  May have photo from earlier that I took but didn’t post will look.

Lava Flow in the sun. I haven’t posted many drink pics this week…if I do this again on our next cruise do people like seeing various drinks?

 

[HoosierShipmate]

The depressing mail finally arrived at my cabin while I was at the pool….maybe if I’m really quiet they wouldn’t notice if I stayed on board tomorrow?

NCL is hiring.  A job would keep you aboard for as long as you like.  I hear the tips are good.

Only if I can be in charge of cooking eggs.

My hubby was wanting to know if they have Jameson Orange on board.

As long as you adhere to my standards.  Otherwise, I would have to throw you overboard.

 

Sorry you have to disembark tomorrow.

I've enjoyed your review.  Reminded me of my last two cruises on Breakway.

We'll be on Prima in Feb.
