Norwegian Breakaway suffers damage in high winds
With only a few weeks out of the gate, Norwegian Cruise Line's newest luxury ship, the Norwegian Breakaway, took damage in bad weather and heavy seas over the weekend (May 25-26), the company confirmed in a news release.
Vanessa Lane, a spokeswoman for NCL, said in the statement that, while returning from Bermuda to New York, the Breakaway encountered winds exceeding 50 knots.
"As a result, the high winds caused some of the outermost sections of the forward balcony dividers on Deck 8 to become dislodged," she said.
No passengers or crew were injured and the company expects the affected balconies to be repaired and ready for the next cruise.
