smileysmiley Posted April 1, 2013 #852 Share Posted April 1, 2013 You are quite welcome! Thanks! :) . :) . I've been tempted to add some things to this thread, having been on Norwegian Epic twice more since then (most recent in late February) Some things would be 'stuff' that's either new or different from the first . . . including a re-visit to La Cuccina (I'd vowed to not return, but I did -- Yes, I lied :o). That last visit was majorly different from the earlier ones on so many levels, after overcoming a brief 30-second hurdle. And after my first experience for the onboard Blue Man show . . . much/most of which I don't remember . . . the third time was the 'charm', when unexpectedly becoming a part of the show. . I almost became a part of the show, but judging by my facial expressions I think they felt sorry for me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted April 1, 2013 #853 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I almost became a part of the show, but judging by my facial expressions I think they felt sorry for me. :) I was picked to come up on stage for a show (comedy show in Biloxi at the Grand). All that I can say is after that experience, I will NEVER allow anyone to coax me up on the stage. I don't care how much they pull on my arm or shine the spotlight. They'd have to give up and pick someone else (who will now also know that it's not a "requirement"!) ;) Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

didytak Posted April 2, 2013 #860 Share Posted April 2, 2013 You know it's a great review when more than 20 pages (and two years) later people are still thanking you for it! It was truly the most entertaining review I've read yet! Thanks for putting so much time and effort into it!

(Yes - I have "Vacation-ITIS") My Mom and I board the beautiful EPIC in 33 days to the Mediterranean! - first time to Europe - 3rd time on NCL.

glittaknitta Posted April 15, 2013 #862 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I have been trying to get my husband to cruise for years. Possibly the picture of the bacon and sausage might push him over the edge. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfun2fly Posted September 7, 2013 #863 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Thank you Don for the wonderful-awesome-exciting Epic review. We first sailed on the Epic less than two months after it's Inaugeration. We are sailing again on December 7th and your review brought back so many memories as well as things that we missed the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted September 7, 2013 #864 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I wonder if there will be a Breakaway review in the not too distant future... hmmmm ! :) Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooner61 Posted November 20, 2013 #865 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks for the fantastic afternoon reading. I will be on the Epic in January and it will be my first NCL cruise. I am not the prolific cruiser you are, but I love every minute of being on a ship. I must have been a sailor in a previous life. I am very excited about this ship. Thanks again for the swell review!

ghockley1981 Posted July 23, 2014 #866 Share Posted July 23, 2014 such a well reviewed and written piece Don, really enjoyed this and it certainly helped me in planning our trip on the Epic. Thanks so much for sharing and spending your time putting it all together, i thinks it shows this by how well it is received even after all this time. cheers mate :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGP1111 Posted July 23, 2014 Author #867 Share Posted July 23, 2014 . . . cheers mate :) Right back at you!! Enjoy your cruise to the fullest!! :D My 6th, and final, Norwegian EPIC sailing will be next February, prior to the ship heading off permanently to Europe. .

Froufie Posted July 23, 2014 #868 Share Posted July 23, 2014 So glad this thread was 'resurrected' - I remember reading it originally - but not that I will be sailing on the Epic in a few months must be time to 'review' it again? Thanks Don! (and yes feel free to add any other 'tidbits' of information that might be helpful? ) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrobstad Posted July 23, 2014 #869 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I haven't reread this thread, probably contributed to it years ago, so here's my two cents: try the speciality restaurants, O Sheehans is free and not bad for pub food, don't miss the Legends show, and good reliable entertainment can always be found in the Fat Cats Club.

Rainbowgurl Posted December 21, 2014 #874 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Well hey! I found you! :) Now I see why everyone raved about your Epic review :) It was so nice meeting you on GA! I hope you had as great an experience as you did on the Epic, and I hope you have a new favorite ship ;) Take care, and I hope we will cross paths again soon! In the mean time, I'll be waiting for pictures in my email, and watching for you on TV... :) ~Julie~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncoldwater Posted December 27, 2014 #875 Share Posted December 27, 2014 That was very good. We're leaving next week. I just starting using ship mate recently. I didn't realize so many people already knew each other before the cruise. I"m learning ! Thank you for sharing that info.
