jarz85 Posted July 1, 2010 #480 Share Posted July 1, 2010 dropping her lifboats (via CruiseMaven @ Twitter) : Is that how passengers get to shore when doing cruises in the caribbean etc when the ship docks out in the water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pateoreo1 Posted July 1, 2010 #481 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Is that how passengers get to shore when doing cruises in the caribbean etc when the ship docks out in the water? From what NCL says she will only make ports that she can dock in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcreek Posted July 1, 2010 #483 Share Posted July 1, 2010 You know, I was wondering about that - if they'll use the lifeboats as tenders. Thought that because they look so easy access, when on the ship... Guess we'll have to wait another week or so to find out! lol Hey - NCL - how about a very mini cruise for all of us NESS members??

Zlasmcruising Posted July 1, 2010 #484 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Is that how passengers get to shore when doing cruises in the caribbean etc when the ship docks out in the water? Not the ones I've been on. It's usually ones from the dock that they tender in on, but not the lifeboats. Again, someone corret me if I'm wrong. Picture of ship going under the V bridge. Got this from my cruise board from someone in NY that will be cruising with us.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got this from my cruise board from someone in NY that will be cruising with us.:) On the Pearl in January we did use the lifeboats twice as tenders. If I remember correctly they stated during one of the live chats that the Epic will only dock. Too many people to tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maja Posted July 1, 2010 Author #490 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I'm really getting hyper now thinking that at this time tomorrow I will be getting onboard. The first thing I plan on doing is checking out the cabin & then exploring the ship. I'll be doing the ultimate stalk! NCL has lots planned for the travel agents so I'm sure I'll be busy & trying to absorb as much as possible about the Epic. Promise to come back here with a full report Thanks everyone....you're always there when I need you! I finally gave up on the TV coverage (nothing!). What a shame. Thanks to all for the great updates & pics. I've sailed out of NYC probably 30 times and never saw anything like the photo of the lifeboats in the Hudson as pcreek put here. Love it!

Maja - have a WONDERFUL time! I'm sooo envious! I'll try to check in over the weekend..(we're celebrating the long 4th weekend in Philly.) If you get the chance...I'd love to see photos of the Spa Suite area going into the 'private access' to the Spa. If you don't have time/opportunity -no worries!

Maybe when the QM2 leaves she will drive past the epic! QM2 is docked in Brooklyn and wont come anywhere near the piers in Manhattan when she leaves, sorry. However the QM2 was docked here on May 21st and here is a merger of the webcam grabs I got from then, and today of the EPIC: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmwnc1959 Posted July 1, 2010 #496 Share Posted July 1, 2010 According to cruisecal dot com this is the only date in 2010 AND 2011 that these two will be in the same port at the same time, anywhere (even though QM2 is in Brooklyn and EPIC is at the Manhattan piers).

Rare kjquilts Posted July 1, 2010 #499 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Join in here at the N.E.S.S. (Norwegian Epic Ship Stalker) Here you will find support & comfort knowing that you're not the only one! The only help you'll get here hopefully is MORE information from fellow stalkers! My name is Maja & I'm an Epic Stalker.:o I spend way too much time searching for the latest news, photos & videos on the Epic. How do I know I'm a stalker? I searched the video links for familiar crew members faces ( I think I saw Anshuman dining in La Cucina?) Are you a NESS? Tell us why! Maja, did you think tomorrow would ever get here? Your thread was fun - have a wonderful cruise ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
