- NCL Breakway caught in US Bomb Cyclone during the Dec 29 to Jan 4 cruise from New York to the Bahamas.
It was a long 3 days of unpleasant vacation time. The captain and NCL could have wait a day before heading back and not risking everyone's safety.
Nice balanced video and I applaud your upbeat assessment of cruises in general =)
This was a great video - I sailed on Breakaway last year in Feb. on the 13th deck, so when I saw the videos, I checked my own footage. Wow - those are big waves!
I think what’s important is that as you said at the end - the crew did a good job with handling your situation. That’s what counts.
The first cruise for me and unforgettable! The night of January 3rd, through the balcony of my room(12 deck), I felt that the grey waves even higher than room ceiling! I didn’t know they were waves or clouds .
The big waves reminded me of the movie call the Perfect Storm :-)
Trust me the stabilizers helped. If there were no stabilizers there would have been A LOT more movement.
J.D. Schriber your lucky they have them
Yes true! My brother who work in this ship told me that the stabilizer were malfunctioned during that time the reason why the 7th deck were crushed by waves! He’s a Marine Engineer and one of the engineer who worked hard below to fix the stabilizers and Thank God it was fixed :)
A fine testament to the seaworthiness of the ship. Considering that we now know the storm was a powerful record breaker.
Wow! Glad everyone made it back to port. I can’t imagine sailing through that storm! Crazy!!!
You add valuable advice at the end. From what little I know, I thing the Captain should have remained at the private island until the storm passed, but hindsight is a very valuable tool. I think a decision was made from a corporate point of view. If the ship remained, then the schedule would have been off and the next cruise start time would have been delayed, translating in more pissed off people. Hopefully there will be lessoned learned from this. So, and initial bad decision, but crew did the best they could do under horrendous conditions
Agree, best safety decision would be to wait a day before heading back to New York but it would upset a lot more people and not to mention the chain affect thereafter. Definitely a difficult decision the captain had to make.
It would have been better if the cruise was delayed. Because of the damage not only will it be delayed but now they also have to spend millions of dollars fixing the damage.
I think NCL is wonderful I saw very caring , professional, observant and most competent staff and crew when I sailed on the NCL Breakaway in 2016. I would suggest some new Federal Maritime Regs, that make it mandatory that Captains divert or stop in a storm alert and situation as this, no matter what and no matter what the delay a mandatory rule that Captains are not allowed to bring the ships in a storm and/or storm advisory. I would like to see this in place very soon to protect the cruisers and the cruise industry.
NLC is the ONLY cruise line I will sail on. They are the best and they no how to make you have a great time. Look at my videos when we were on our 2nd cruise with them.
We will be going on the blitz to Alaska in June. Can’t wait!
brigantinecastle Yes! Totally agree. My family has been going on this cruise line forever! Basically my whole family is platinum. Going on the breakaway soon, hopefully this doesn’t happen.
Fiona C. The Breakaway was the first cruise we went on. It was the first cruise the did on that boat from Miami to Bermuda. We got married on the beach. That ship is sooo nice. You guys are gonna have a blast.
The ship left Great Stirrup Cay 4 hours early than scheduled due to rough sea and ended up about 10 hours behind schedule by the time we returned to port. Everyone was anxious to get off the ship after 2 days in the storm.
Simon Q, I can agree. I was on the sailing, too. Deck 12. It was CRAZY.
We left on the Breakaway on 1/6/18. It was a rough trip too, not quite as bad. Thank you for sharing.
Very well done video, thank you.
Stabilizers can't help when the ship is encountering heavy swells directly on the bow; you just have to ride through them. We had a situation like that -- heading toward a hurricane, but it was 400 miles away and receding -- and our ship (Carnival Conquest) was bucking fore and aft, kicking up some awesome spray on the front. I asked the Captain about it and he confirmed there was nothing they could do but head into the waves. It wasn't too bad; the waves rocked us to sleep like babies. :)
You think that's a bad storm, try going through Katrina! We were hit by the outskirts of it when we were trying to outrun it. Luckily, our tenders were smaller and they were sealed tight because the last one hit a wave so big it flipped over before flipping upright again. Everyone on the ship was sick. Thank heavens it was a summer storm though, so no ice.
I have seen some information about Caribbean sea, it shows cyclone always occur from Jun to Nov and seldom occur from Dec to may every year. Do anyone know why there is cyclone on Jan??? Is it abnormal?
This was a crazy time , i was jr.stateroom steward for ncl breakaway and i had more time to experience the weather bad, and i felt this was terrible, bad feeling. Good luck you
Minghao Wu. Yeah man, some guys worked in ncl breakaway for 5 years and this time was the first. Dont worry the terrible, focus now is better, i thought this is life
Minghao Wu 体验过了想想后怕
Half of the people
Beginning: Yay we’re finally going on a cruise ship
End of voyage: We’re never going on a cruise again
I felt sorry for everyone in this nightmare
We were on the 13th floor too I have never been so scared in my life and it was our first ever cruise, dont think I could manage to go on a boat again after my experience. Really wished the Captain made more announcements and reassured guests and staff, his monotone voice we are experiencing a storm ! no shit
Yeah, it would be more helpful to the average passenger if the captain voice sounded freakish as the storm.
Was this the same captain who sailed into that bomb cyclone a few years back?
i was experiences that always..i was one of the crew back 2 years ago..the wave can reach up to deck 6 level..always happen that on the month of jan.
at the end of the day, just glad everyonoe is safe and back home
Sorry to disagree. I have been a passenger on the Breakaway more than once. The captain of the ship for this cruise was a class A asshole. That ship should have been routed around the storm or kept away from, the storm. There was plenty of advance notice regarding the storm and its' ferocity. I figure the captain was more interested in keeping to the schedule and arriving back into New York as close to the planned time as possible. He may have also been worried about the extra fuel burn for taking a longer safer route. It was a very poor decision.
I agree with you. I went on the MSC Divina with Captain Scala , he is now on the MSC Seaside. He had an answer and question section and I remember him saying if there is or was a storm he would reroute and go around a storm. It should have been done in this situation.
I was on that cruise and I agree with Randi. Even worse: communication was very poor, only some boring updates from the captain but no real Information about the Situation. I am convinced the ship and the passangers were never in real danger but this is not the way to treat customers who paid a lot of Money. I am sure the captain got instructions from NCL to move back to New York as quick as possible because there were approximately 4.000 passangers waiting for the next cruise. It's all about Money....
Rupimovie Sorry you dealt with that. I hope you get money back because that doesn't seem like a vacation. It seems like the storm caused a lot of damage getting back to port..seems like it cost money anyway..plus bad press.
Norwegian's operations center would have been the ones who made the initial call to sail back close behind the storm, not the Captain. If the Captain had felt the storm posed a serious danger to his ship, he could have overridden their call, but he didn't. And despite a lot of leaks in ceilings and windblown rain through doorways, he was right.
Of greater concern is the tendering operation at GSC. They should never have stopped in the first place and the tendering back to the ship looked pretty perilous.
I just know on what Captain Scala said in person. He said he wouldn't sail into a storm...dangerous or not. MSC is a family owned company so it's run differently then other cruise lines.
How are you going to say ships stableisers did not help if you have never felt it without? They can only do so much...
very good video man !!! i hope you get soon to 500K views ! i would change the music for another style, but is matter of taste !! hehehe very good and informative. sorry ends so soon ...
Lucky you, you got to go on-the island . Our visit there was cut short
And THAT, my friends, is why I don’t ever intend to do a cruise.. Terrified of storms ay sea. Yes, these are built to hopefully rude such storms out, but there was a cruiser that sank in stormy waters nit long ago.. All were rescued..
Royal Caribbean gave a full refund and 50 percent off towards next cruise. The reason was a bad call of the captain and the sudden shift in the storms direction
Bro this was a Norwegian ship
Stabilizers didn't help? Without them, you'd be experiencing 30-degree rolls and strapped to your bunk. I agree with JD.
Personally, I feel NCL unnecessarily put people at risk but I wasn’t aboard so I don’t know how bad it really was. I’m hoping when we go on our next cruise we won’t hit such weather but if we do, maybe that Captain will be on some other ship.
I was surprised they were able to tender
They Should have tendered 2 hours before the storm arrived
Poor LifeBoats!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😡😡😡😡 i'll hope you're okay LifeBoats! ❤
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO (MEMORYSTAR)
THANKS AGAIN
just saw another vid of this and the damn ship was leaking water everwhere in side
The water looks cold out there
Idk why they came back when they can just dock in Miami and wait it out.
È così divertente come la gente si lamenta di essere su una barca in tempesta. Ciò che la maggior parte di loro non ha il buonsenso di capire è che spesso le tempeste sull'oceano possono anche apparire dal nulla e si può passare da un mare perfettamente calmo a un periodo piuttosto agitato. Sì, la barca con il rock, e così via. La gente presume che, poiché hanno prenotato una nave chitarristica, senza dubbio avranno la vacanza perfetta in mare che vogliono. Ciò che le persone dimenticano è che non possono controllare o prevedere sempre con precisione il tempo. Inoltre, se la barca non fosse in grado di gestirla, la barca non sarebbe stata lì. Questa tempesta non è stata certamente la peggiore che una nave abbia mai attraversato.
The Captain should have diverted or dropped anchor well south and east of the storm.
Look at the fog being generated by warm water, cold air
How much NCL paid for you? I was there,you probably not
Wow. Glad no one was hurt
We had that in half half moon cay
Our tender ride was worse though
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SHIP ARRIVED IN NY WITH NO CASUALTIES!
Ask Marie not even injuries people stayed in cabins and outer doors locked to
Keep people off balconies and off the decks
Dear Simon Q, I am an assistant producer at a Scottish TV company. We're making a new series for British TV about travel problems and doing an episode on sea travel. Were you really on that boat? If so I am glad you made it back to safe ground! I wondered if I could ask you about it and whether you own the copyright to this video and were you there? If so I wondered if I could ask you about it? You can reply on here or email me at lucy.egleton@terntv.com. Look forward to hearing from you!
Yes, I was on the ship with my family. All videos can pictures were taken by me.
Hi Simon, thanks so much for getting back to me. Would you be okay with us potentially using your footage in our programme? Where are you based?
Nous étions sur ce bateau quel supplice.
Georges Auger jai des gens que je connais sur ce bateau. Avez vous change de bateau?
The tender is a caterman
Honestly I had the time of my life IT WAS A BLAST
Music not necessary. Pretty much ever. Biggest problem on youtube,
but... do you kno the wea??
NOPE NOPE NOPE AND NOPE !
Hello fellow Cruise/Ocean lovers, I have been though worse, on the CUNARD QE2 in May 2002, waves were larger......but we survived, God is in control, so we always remember, to say, I love you God, Protect us!
But you were on a true ocean liner, as opposed to just a cruise ship. Liners are designed to handle heavy seas.
all these boats can take these kinds of storms the passengers cant take it ha ha ha including me
It's all about the money people.there a coporation.
looks fun
i'm serious
Oh big deal...
Good Lord cut that obnoxious music.
Hi everyone.If you read this message please read the Holy Quran the direct words and the final message from Almighty God..It will guide you to peace truth and happiness in this world and the afterworld with my lovely wishes....
Bad music
cox
Very very gay music.
Not very good footage. Kinda clickbait really
Captain should be fired!!!!!!!!!!!
For what?
It wasn't him it was the weather
Hehe, its normal in winter time in the north atlantic area. Nothing special. Say "thank you Mr. Trump, the clima change is just a fantasy ..."
Location of the place they were during storm: Great stirrup cay headed back to New York.
Awesome ride!
Without stableizers it would be worse
