david_sobe Posted May 11, 2010 #126 Share Posted May 11, 2010 The theater seats look really comfortable and an interesting yellow. The brochure had the theater seats as blue or purple. I am sure so many other surprises are coming our way as we see reality over the imaginary pictures. Cant wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdmike Posted May 11, 2010 #128 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Nice to see her painted! looking less like a construction project and more like a ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMaterial Posted May 11, 2010 #129 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Kris - Keep those pictures coming! :D I did notice that they had actually painted the portside of the ship which for the longest time didn't have any hull art on it. It was just before they took off the protective covering on the windows up top in the Villa area. Nice work! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boeckli Posted May 13, 2010 #135 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Rather a distinct "facial expression" ... It's good to see her surrounded by water again (even if it's still in the dry-dock) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimomiller Posted May 13, 2010 #137 Share Posted May 13, 2010 That is a very ominous sign. NCL has been all about showing off and announcing Epic news. I thnk they are probably canceling this webcast to avoid the hard questions re the fire that they do not yet have the answers to. Classic NCL. If they do not have anything good to say about themselves they clam up. Get ready for bad news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do not have anything good to say about themselves they clam up. Get ready for bad news Well what do you want them to say? What good would an announcement do? If and when they know the ship won't be delivered on time, you can bet that they'll announce it right away. It does them no good to hide the delay.

CruisinMaterial Posted May 13, 2010 #139 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Boeckli - Thank you for posting. Glad to know she's back floating again! :) That's really exciting to see that she's at least got water back around her again! Zimomiller - I doubt NCL would cancel any webcast just to avoid questions about the fire. They've been answering questions and have not changed their statement that the ship will be ready on-time. I believe in NCL and that it will be delivered on-time. I know NCL is probably waiting for the yard to slip up to some extent because while it would hurt NCL in the short run it would give them MILLIONS if the yard messed up. Trust me... STX is going to hand it over on-time. They're already losing money on this ship... to lose most of what the contract cost for a late delivery... um... yeah it'd cause this yard to probably never build another cruise ship again (and I say they shouldn't anyway)!! Have a little faith! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xangav Posted May 13, 2010 #140 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Just saw this on Facebook: Norwegian Cruise Line Hello fans - just wantee to let you know that we postponed it, so we could let you all know about a few more exciting Epic pieces of news that aren't quiet ready for release yet.

ddakrt Posted May 13, 2010 Author #141 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Another new day, another new picture (ok, 2 new pictures) on shipspotting. Links to full size here: http://media.shipspotting.com/uploads/photos/rw/1110864/Ship+Photo+NORWEGIAN+EPIC.jpg http://media.shipspotting.com/uploads/photos/rw/1110836/Ship+Photo+NORWEGIAN+EPIC.jpg If either the yard or NCL is hiding the delay, they're certainly not showing it with the exterior prep. Almost all protective tapes are gone from the windows and logos, the hat's painting is done, engines are started, the net is up for the sports court, and she's definitely floating again. The only thing I see that needs to be done is the painting of NCL logo on the bow, the tarps/covering for the lifeboats, remove the red tape from the port side radar ball thing, and a bit more tape on the spa and kids club. She looks good! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddakrt Posted May 13, 2010 Author #143 Share Posted May 13, 2010 One thing that I don't like like about this ship though, all the railings on the pool deck are of the tall glass variety; the only public area where you can look over and down into the ocean is on the sunning deck above the pool area (which will be packed with people and loungers) and a few spots on the uninviting promenade.

tntornadox Posted May 13, 2010 #144 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I find it hilarious that NCL altered their logo and font just after Epic had the old ones painted on it (or in the case of the funnel, installed)... why did they do that anyway?

jarz85 Posted May 14, 2010 #149 Share Posted May 14, 2010 This ship looks WAYYYYYYYYY better, like 10 times better in the photos than the brochures etc. Cant hardly notice the hat, the room we booked is in the middle of the ship, right where the yellow crane ends!

I agree... the renderings don't do her justice. She's not as boxy looking at her from the front. The aft end is even more rounded than the way it was pictured before but still has a box-like overall appearance. Real pictures are making her much more attractive! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
