Ilivetogo Posted September 21, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'm not much of a writer, so I do my "reviews" in photos. Many seemed to enjoy my food thread showing pictures from the NCL Star, so I said I would do another one after cruising on the NCL EPIC. All the food we had was very good. We stuck mainly with the main dining rooms, but as you will see, a couple of the other possibilities are featured. I will feature everything by WHERE we ate. Enjoy!! (There are a lot of pictures, so bear with me.) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilivetogo Posted September 21, 2010 Author #2 Share Posted September 21, 2010 First will be featuring just "random" places on the ship ... not specifically a dining spot. In the atrium, you can get different coffee drinks ... here are the menu boards posted. You can also get assorted pastries here - for free! (Note: The Orange/Chocolate marble was really good!!) .

Ilivetogo Posted September 21, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Up in the main buffet, there were always several pizzas available. They were pretty good! One of the chocolate/mousse desserts - this was really yummy. Outside at the poolside bar, they had the yummy frozen drinks all set to go! Mmmmmm. .

miamitango Posted September 21, 2010 #19 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I've been weighing either cruising the Epic (a studio on the Dec 18, 2010 sailing) or one of the Carnival ships (I cruised on the Valor and the Freedom this past summer). Your food pictures are pulling me toward the Epic! (You should get a commission from NCL when I book.) Thanks for sharing! :) Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerDave Posted September 21, 2010 #23 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Wow!!! Hungry doesn't begin to describe it!!!! You know, I look at these pictures, most of which are from the free restaurants, and I am just amazed at how some people come back and just trash the food. I have been on 6 cruises, all of them had food that looked similar, and in fact I would say these LOOKED better than average. Obviously they could all be clever forgeries, but I think ILIVETOGO would confirm they tasted as good as they look... So many reviews that say they feed you crap in the free restaurants to get you into the pay ones. Looks like Epic lives up to what I've experienced on my other two NCL cruises and that is that the free main dining room food is what you would expect on a cruise, and you have the option to take a step up to a bit finer dining in the specialties. I for one USUALLY eat in the specialties, but I just plan on that up front, put it mentally into the cruise fare when I plan my cruise, and thus don't feel the least nickelled and dimed, I've just made some choices that affect my cruise ticket price...

Just Jo Posted September 21, 2010 #24 Share Posted September 21, 2010 WOW!! Thanks SO much! I've been wondering how many food pics I'll be able to get away with before I annoy my DH and friends. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
