Cruise Biz Buzz – Cruise News from Social Media for June 30, 2012: Crystal Cruises and Norwegian Breakaway top stories
A glance about what this week’s top stories are in the social media sphere.

The series will surely give cruise passengers a good reason to get a new iPad (or use the one they already have). The course teaches filmmaking techniques to create one’s own films, from pre-production to final cut. All I can say is “sign me up!” Learn more.
Norwegian Cruise Line Breaks Away
Norwegian Cruise Line made a splash this week by teasing us with the promise of a BIG Announcement followed by news that Norwegian Breakaway will be overflowing with entertainment that includes music, dining and new experiences. Check out their Top Facebook Post below that chronicles the new features on Norwegian Breakaway: ROCK OF AGES to BURN THE FLOOR to a completely redesigned CIRQUE DREAMS JUNGLE FANTASY Dinner Experience and the new partnership with Celebrity Chef and Food Network star Geoffrey Zakarian for Ocean Blue, the new seafood restaurant on Norwegian Breakaway.
