Absolutely stunning pictures! Thank you!
Great photos, Dave. Rotterdam came up trumps again just like for Epic. Pity Southampton didn’t have a fireboat welcome but then Independence of the Seas had no fanfare for her maiden! I think Breakaway’s a lovely ship. Corrected and enhanced Epic’s mistakes (though the Studio cabins I heard were worse and I saw the Lounge which is rubbish) but there are still some design flaws such as cabins above Fatcats one couple told me they were moved from. They said Getaway won’t have those. The Waterfront is a wonderful addition, as is the forward observation deck which Epic lacks except for Haven dwellers.
