ddakrt Posted December 8, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2009 It seems like the last batch of Epic pictures were from the float out, did anyone find other new pictures since? The only thing new seems to be the renderings on the Epic's main site, the front half of the "hat" is now painted in dark blue as oppose to white, perhaps in an attempt to hide the mass of the Courtyard area from the exterior. Dunno personally what I think of the dark blue, it's no worse than the white before but I didn't find the Epic to be that ugly as some people think it does anyway. Here's the pic: Anyone have other new pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2cruise1 Posted December 8, 2009 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2009 There are a couple on the website for the Epic TA rollcall. Link in my signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought the "Mad Hatters" was a reference to the villa complex lol.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesboat Posted December 12, 2009 #4 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Looking at the picture....epic is probably going to get even worse fuel economy than a regular cruise ship. It's not aerodynamic at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtalum Posted December 12, 2009 #8 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Looking at the picture....epic is probably going to get even worse fuel economy than a regular cruise ship. It's not aerodynamic at all. Aerodynamics are completely irrelevant to fuel efficiency in ship design. The fuel efficiency is completely based on hydrodynamics, because water is so much denser than air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured that a giant flat wall = huge air resistance = more fuel needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured that a giant flat wall = huge air resistance = more fuel needed I know nothing about hydrodynamics neither, but I can't imagine the flat front of the Epic helps any. I've stood on the front of ferries without a barrier and the wind was wicked; it was very very hard standing in one spot, let alone walk forward.

familyof4cruising Posted January 29, 2010 #15 Share Posted January 29, 2010 From that picture I can see the bump outs on the larger balcony rooms. I didn't realize the side profile look like that. Or is that something else I am seeing? My room is so far from the Villa complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time2cruise1 Posted February 12, 2010 #18 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I can see my balcony so exciting!! Some facebook posts from onboard Melissa On the Epic - this baby has one really smooth ride! Melissa Lots of exciting things really. We turned up our phone system for the sea trial and it's working well - and we also turned up the satellite as you can see since I am posting from my crrew cabin here aboard. It's cold out here but sunny today after yesterdays blizzard - we are looking forward to more successful tests in the next few days. The inside spaces of the Epic are really starting to come together and it's going to be gorgeous. 21 minutes ago · Report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea-trial Posted February 14, 2010 #21 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Just off sea-trial and must say I was well impressed with the comfort on board Even as the ship was being put through its paces at no time did I feel it was uncomfortable At max speed in a straight line it was as smooth as a baby..
