pokeypoke Posted April 20, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Just curious but are some of you who are booked on NCL's Epic, leaving out of Miami, also booked or are thinking about booking the new Epic Hotel as well? We booked a 2-night pre-cruise room at the Epic Hotel from LMT, prior to our Epic cruise for a total EPIC experience. A brand new ship = a brand new hotel = I can hardly wait:D!

pokeypoke Posted April 20, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Just had a look at website. Very nice, thanks think I shall book this. You can get a really good rate from LMT (lastminutetravel). We booked a city view which goes for $300/night off season, $400/night season, for $167/night. If you want to see the Epic coming into port, a water view is $223/night on LMT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2cruise1 Posted April 20, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The Epic Hotel was closed for a while shortly after opening. They had a problem with Legionnaires' disease http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1R2ADBF_enUS329&q=timothy+mcveigh&aq=0z&aqi=g-z2g8&aql=&oq=timothy+M&gs_rfai= When federal officials alerted the Miami-Dade Health Department that three tourists who visited Miami had contracted Legionnaires' disease, investigations quickly led to a luxurious new hotel/condo development in downtown Miami. Now, after a week of confusion, twists and turns, Epic Hotel & Residences still can't say when its hotel guests will return, and health officials are still trying to figure out whether the Epic's high-tech water filtration system was the source of the culprit bacteria or whether the hotel is only the victim of bad luck and timing.

Carole88 Posted April 20, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2010 We booked it for our pre-cruise stay too. We also wanted a totally Epic vacation! Hotel looks beautiful. We can't wait for our trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokeypoke Posted April 20, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted April 20, 2010 All rooms have a balcony and all rooms begin on the 18th floor. We also have an aft balcony on the ship so, this should be a great Epic land and sea trip. You can check out the rooms on youtube - they are the BOMB!

Bars7816 Posted April 20, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Oh, we thought about it. How cool would that be? The price stopped us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzmaven Posted April 21, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Funny how the room in the EPIC hotel has a window from the bedroom looking into the bathroom. Must be an EPIC conspiracy against bathroom privacy.:rolleyes: http://www.epichotel.com/miami-hotel-packages/aaa-members.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast747 Posted April 21, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 21, 2010 We booked the Epic Hotel for a 2 nights pre-cruise in November. We came across the Epic and said it must be fate - looks great, excellent reviews, views of the port........Can't wait for our total Epic Honeymoon!!

RickinNYC Posted April 22, 2010 #12 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Had no idea this hotel even existed. Where have I been?? Nevertheless, we're booked at The Strand for the two nights prior to our cruise. Never spent any time in South Beach before so we're looking forward to it. Plus, it's on the beach, and in the heart of the Art Deco area, with tons to do. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
