aka Bud Lite Hotel

Rumor has it that there’s an event in town this weekend . . . and this is temporary housing that’s been made available . . . .  Pete Genovese of the Star-Ledger got an invite to a racy party, but somehow tugster’s invite got lost in the mail?  Bravo, Pete.

Oh well . . .  these fotos of the two 146,000 ton identical ships in the same place at the same time are special enough.  Many thanks to Phil Little for these.  And as of this writing, Breakaway

has already left nearly 24 hours ago.

Getaway leaves after the weekend.  Click here for some views behind the scenes of this nearly-4000 passenger vessel.

Again . .  thanks much Phil for these views.  Maybe next time there’s a big water-borne bash in town we’ll get invites too.

Jewel

All eyes peeled . . . rumbling means something approaches from outside the Narrows

carrying passengers.

It’s Norwegian Jewel.  An insider’s view was featured here on this blog a few months back.

Seeing the flashy scene around this lifeboat puzzled my naked eyes.

Any week now, Norwegian Breakaway will be replacing Jewel.

All fotos earlier this month by Will Van Dorp.
