DaveBo Posted February 20, 2017 #51 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Kevin. I have noticed, and it does seem different than what I have noticed in the past. I have a feeling you are right. From what I could see, there are only 8 rooms (spa and haven) open today, so we'll see if those other rooms open back up as soon as those last 8 are filled. We booked the Jade last year 3 days before it left Houston and there was still quite a few rooms left to choose from. (though the Haven was sold out at that point). On another note.. I realized the other day that in 2011 we had a Facebook page for our LGBT Epic T/A. I still have the link to the group on my FB page. I had forgotten all about that!

jpa34 Posted February 23, 2017 #52 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Darrell and I just realized that we were also on The Epic crossing in 2011, spring, going over to Dover. We had a huge LGBT group on that one. Looking forward to a repeat. Allen Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(my memory is not what it use to be) Since last weekend the prices and availability seem to have changed by the hour. Late on Tuesday there were no studios available but plenty of inside and balcony cabins at good prices were. This afternoon a friend in Chile suddenly showed an interest in doing this crossing. In Chile on the .com NCL there was no availability showing but when I looked on the .co.uk NCL there were two studios showing available at good prices. Three hours later there is now only one studio showing available and no inside or balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was your friend able to book the trip? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have now found out that a further friend of mine had attempted to book this crossing. One was told that there was only one Haven Suite available at $6000 for two sharing and the other has been put on a waiting/standby list. When I looked at the NCL .co.uk website earlier this crossing does not appear any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnael Posted March 9, 2017 #56 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hi all! Andrew here with Alex, my husband. We booked this cruise over a year ago and finally it's a little over 3 weeks away... can't wait! The Epic was our first cruise, did a TA April 2012 from Miami to Barcelona. Kevin, I think I remember you from that trip! We're in a mini suite, but were offered an opportunity to bid on a Haven suite and we did. I've been monitoring the cabin availability, (to determine our chances of getting the upgrade) and also noted strange variations on a day to day basis, today the us site showed nothing at all available! Anyway, looking forward to the trip and hopefully meeting everyone on board! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as other have mentioned, there is no certainty about how long this will be there. I noticed this offering a couple weeks ago. But between then and now there have been periods when this cruise did not show up in search results on the US NCL site.

scott85255 Posted March 12, 2017 #58 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hi All, so sad that I am not on this cruise :mad: with all of you, but have a question about the Spa for those that have been on the Epic. Does it have a steam and a sauna ? Is it co-ed, or is there a men's section and a women's section ? Thanks a million, and have a fantastic time together.

amspinner Posted March 22, 2017 #61 Share Posted March 22, 2017 This is our (David and Peter) fourth or fifth crossing on the Epic. Does anyone remember when that computer company cancelled 800+ rooms and the ship was quite comfortable....remember the nude sundeck....remember the Miss Epic pageant.....remember Terry, or Jay and Rod?

ordnael Posted April 30, 2017 #67 Share Posted April 30, 2017 @scott85255 Hi there! Got off the Epic about 3 weeks ago, and to answer your question, there is a small steam room and a dry sauna in the men's locker room, but access is controlled by the spa's front desk staff. To gain entry, you will need to purchase a spa pass on board or before your cruise starts. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
