I have looked at the pictures and the seating does not look comfy. Is this the sort of place you might go and read a book for an hour or 3 comfortably?

Can you tell me if the Breakaway Gym has TRX system of straps? Is there a cost?

Last minute deal. 12 days, Norwegian Spirit, leaves Aug 25 from Barcelona, going to Venice. No solo supp in any category.

 

Inside $699, tax $172, tips $162, total $1033 (or less than $900 if you take the free grats package - the drinks package is also offered). $75 bucks a day, all-in, for a late summer Med cruise sounds pretty good.

 

 Choose between
-Five meals of Specialty Dining for first two guests
-Ultimate Beverage Package
-Free Stateroom Gratuities
-250 Free WiFi Minutes

Oceanview $200 more, balcony $500 more. No residency discount and bookable direct with NCL if you like.

 

Last minute air from the US is, of course, expensive. But there seems to be reasonable award availability on United and American if you've got miles and can stay a day or two after arriving in Venice. Delta, not surprisingly, has worse availability, but it's not impossible either.

 

This cruise sure has come way down in price.

CRUISELADY-

where did you find these NCL listings indicating no supplement?

So I called exactly at 9 am and waited 27 minutes to talk to agent. We spent 37 minutes on the phone. she could not switch me to 12 day cruise on dae at same time as original Epic cruise. So i went with the same cruise 9 months earlier than I wanted in February. The cruise confirmation showed a $45 increased cost of cruise in taxes and cruise costs. Now I have been on the phone 26 minutes and still waiting to talk to "special group".

I was sailing 11/16 in a studio. Does this mean I can only look at sailings for a studio room? I can't sail before 4/16 so I guess that is the end of being able to do a med cruise@#$%^&*()!!

I have parked on the NJ side at the Weehawken ferry. Taken the ferry acress and either take a taxi (or walk if the weather is good). It is more resonably priced and you avoid city traffic and GWB tolls.

I website is NJ/NY Ferry I believe.

I was on line looking at Epic cruises for 2016 and found $0 listed as the cost of a Studio room. Does any one know what this means?

You get snacks, coffee, tea, expresso, water, juice all behind locked doors that needs swiped to get in or jimmied with a chair to hold open for those that can't access during regular hours especially for the solo meet (Usually those in other room categories that is not the studio room). Speaking of which, that when the bar is open, during the solo meets which is listed in the dailies, usually between 5-7 pm. the solo coordinator (the concierge) hosts these events and arranges activities plus group dining for those that want to participate.

 

Special note - the lounge on the Breakaway is tinier than what the picture shows. Hope this info helps!!

With regards to group dining, is this in the MDR or specialty restaurants?

I am new to studio concept. What happens in the lounge? I read that children run through it, yet the NLC literature indicated it is keyed. What hours are the bar open? What does the concierge do?

This will be my first time solo on NCL. I booked a Studio on the 1/3/16 Breakaway and am looking to learn as much as possible about how the lounge system works. I gather there is a barf, when is it staffed? Should I make dinner/show reservations or wait until the cruise for staffer to put groups together?
