There will be a letter in your stateroom when you arrive.

 

You can also find out by going to any specialty restaurant after you board.

I have FNDR booked for our Oasis December sailing. When will I know which restaurant we are given? I just checked my cruiser planner and it doesn't specify. Will their be a card in our stateroom?

Thanks,

Brad

Thanks everyone for the great info and ideas!

At port canaveral there is a separate suite waiting area and suite check in line that you get to use in jr suites.

 

She will know upon getting her set sail pass as it would be silver in color for js guests. If she is observant she might notice the difference upon checkin.

I recently upgraded us to a Jr. Suite. It is a surprise for my wife. I was wondering if there is a separate waiting area amd early boarding for suite guests, and if Jr. Suite guests are included.

Also would you suggest skipping the early boarding and check in to maintain the surprise so she finds out when we get to the cabin. TIA [emoji3]

From what I have heard elsewhere it is being changed to a new restaurant called Le Petite chef. It is currently on the Reflection.

Is the Epic studio area different from the Escape studio area? I had no noise issues at all on the Escape.

I just returned from my cruise on the Epic. As soon as I got on board, group 1, I went to guest services and bought a pass which was $50 for the 4 day cruise. Though the pass was not able to be used until the second day... not embarkation day. This is the video I took.

Yep, that door heading out to the elevator corridors was shutting quite loudly all last week. The one going into the living room walk-over was working well with the new hydraulic arm. I tried to be very careful each time I went through it.

Exactly

I have been in this room for 4 days, still currently on board. I will not book it again nor would I suggest it as a good cabin. The location is nice but the door to the hallway does slam a lot. It hasn't woken me up at night, but I hear it a lot each morning.

3 weeks from today I will be boarding. I will have internet access, so if I find any issues I will post as they happen. This way I went forget after 4 days of UBP. Lol

Are you in one of the solo studio rooms? I’ve booked in the Epic for October 28 and am in one. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the Epic. What are your thoughts on the ship?

The complaints that I have read about the Epic usually revolve around the odd bathrooms in the balcony cabins and the smoking in the casino. For these 2 issues... I'm in a studio so I don't care about the balcony cabins. Lol. And for the smoking in the casino it is no different than any of the other 5 ships that I have been on.

I went last March and I had a great time. though I do wish the ship had the waterfront like the getaway, breakaway, escape. But the pools are sooo much better on the Epic. Also the adults area at the back of the ship has a small pool which is nice. Do you have any questions that I can help with?

One thing, make sure to go to the studio lounge for drinks around 530, people will be gathered there every evening and we would all go to dinner together.

NORWEGIAN EPIC MARCH 3-7, 2018. This will be my second solo on the Epic. I had a blast the first time, met a lot of new friends that we all still keep in touch.

I wanted to make a seperate thread on this room because I just finished a cruise in the room. I booked it because it was close to the mini-suite my parents were in and didn't have a connecting door (which I had the first time I sailed the Epic and I felt like I could hear the tv in the next room the whole trip). About a week before I went I looked for cruise room reviews and everyone was saying how loud the doors were (its between the doors to the studio lounge and the doors the main hallway.)

 

I just wanted to let people know since then they have change the mechanisms on the doors and they don't slam any more. I think I heard one close 1 time over the course of 7 days. I would highly recommend the room because it was so close to the elevators and the lounge, so the location, to me, was great. I will say that often times the door to the hallway didn't close all the way - that didn't bother me, but if that is one of the reasons you are booking the studio - it is probably just something good to know.

 

Happy to answer any questions about the cabin.

Thank you for your review. I am sailing in March and had been thinking about switching to this cabin. I am a heavy sleeper and having easy access to my cabin is very appealing. I went ahead and switched to 12515 and I will come back and share my experience in 2 months. Thanks again!

Folks! Sorry I haven’t been posting, I missed a few days and never got round to providing the updates and just really couldn’t be bothered to carry on!!! So I’m not ill, injured, missing any tech items...just suffering from a bad bout of extreme laziness! I have had a ball, brilliant trip with fabulous people. Hilights include two bar crawls, the most recent taking place yesterday with some fellow cruise critic-ers. That was an immense day of booze and laughs and I highly recommend this pastime. It’s our last day today, GSC was cancelled so we’ve come back to Nassau where it’s a bit chilly to say the least.

 

So I’ll love you and leave you and maybe I’ll become a better cruise citizen as the cruise fam reunion is in July and will no doubt bring more crazy fun. In the meantime I’ll be giving Royal a go in April on the Oasis. And I’ll be doing a ‘side to side’ at Christmas (thank you Art for advising the correct terminology!) involving the Bliss and the Getaway.

 

Happy cruising y’all!!!

I'm just happy tou are ok and having a blast. Glad you focused on the experience.

What is GSC

Great Stirrup Caye

Where did she go?

Her last post was from GSC... Maybe she just decided to take up residence there.

I guess I should clarify that I am asking about the hibachi, not sushi side

I have read that some people have been able to book Izumi with their specialty dining package. I was wondering how you have been able to do this since I have read that it is not included in the package options on the Oasis of the Seas?

I haven't sailed on the Escape, but having a location close to the lounge is the best on any solo sailing.

Brad,

I think I’m correct in saying this may be somewhat outdated, but I could be wrong. I think the % went from 18 to 20.

 

 

Being Positive makes life better. Look for the Good not the Bad

I just took it off the website about 10 minutes ago, but it may be outdated. I don't know why you would suggest that I was looking for the bad?

I posted it to counter the spread of false info about a limit to the UBP being limited, nothing more. I love NCL and I am very positive about them since I have had nothing but great cruises with them. I am going on the Epic in 89 days... but who's counting LOL. Happy sailings everyone

Terms and conditions of the UBP. No limit.
