Crander

Any one else on the St. Kitts Scenic Railway tour?  If so, did you notice the ship now departs before we get back!  Now just trying to figure out if NCL is cancelling the tour as they said the might in the schedule change letter or if they are just going to adjust the times.  Nothing heard  yet.

Hey folks on this particular cruise... your e-Docs are ready to download and print.  Log on to your NCL account or the app to access them.

Hey Ohio!

Thanks for the beer updates (and all the rest as well, but I have my priorities!  So... are you saying they don't even have Heineken in the little UFO dispenser in the Garden Buffet or at the lobby bars?  If not... guess I'm doing bottles and Stella.  I didn't realize Bud Light was actually considered beer...... nor will I drink it.

Cheers!

Thanks for the information!  We will be onboard on the 15th.  We were last on Epic in 2019 in the Med and didn't mind its little quirks.  

Looking forward to your comments on your experience!  Have a great cruise!

Could you post back on your check-in/boarding experience? We're on the week after you.

 

 Thank you!

Will do!  At this point, we are just going to show up and roll with the punches!  I figure no matter what, we will get on the ship in time!

Nice!  I'm hoping to a TA soon as well!  This trip pretty much completes my must see Caribbean list so on to the rest!  Have a great time!

Crander - The Epic has very few options for a “decent pint”…. few draft options and what you will find are an uninspired (think Heineken or a light beer of some type).  I was able to find a Goose Island IPA at O’Sheehan’s.  I will personally attempt to sample each beer…… just for you…. And report back.  There is no brewpub or microbrew on board….. lots of bottle options though. 

Thanks much!  Yep, I am aware of the uninspired options.  I think the other light beer is likely Stella.  Last cruise I lived on Heineken draft which they had in the Garden Cafe and a few of the other lobby bars, etc.  Figured it was the same based on the Epic as they don't have the Brewhouse.  Enjoy checking for me!  I'd do the same for you!

Thank you SO much for these current updates!  We are going on the 22nd sailing.

Two questions... I am a draft beer drinker....spoiled on the Joy last winter as they had the District Brewhouse.  Disappointed on the Pearl in April as they only had Heineken on draft.  I'll do a bottle if that's all there is but hoping for at least a few draft options!  If you can let me know, I would appreciate it very much!

Enjoy!

Pan Am for originating and termination of all NCL cruises.  Old San Juan is for port stops only.  We dida stop on the Breakaway and it is super convenient to walk the town.   Not hearing good things about the Pan Am terminal, but will let you know in a few weeks.  We board the Epic on the 22nd but have heard the check in process is miserable as the terminal is not much to speak of!

This may be a long shot but do you recall what DRAFT beer was available?  I’m spoiled because the Joy had District Brewhouse and The Epic doesn’t.  I can’t find any info on this for the Epic. Just a list of beers fleet wide.
