ugagrad97 Posted August 31, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Everyone cruising on the Epic in various different weeks of September are posting on FB that they're receiving emails a few weeks before their cruise that it's still closed and each cabin is getting $50 credit as an accommodation. So it sounds for sure like they don't expect it to be open at least for most of the September cruises. I'm late September on the Epic and haven't gotten this email yet. But the Sept 4th and 11th cruises sound like they did. The online chatter doesn't sound promising. Sounds like a fairly big issue with the smoke stacks and soot.

JustAPilot Posted August 31, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 31, 2022 It’s for the better, the radar domes near the smoke stack where H2O is was covered in this brown substance from the stacks. I don’t think you want to be breathing that stuff in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMT2568 Posted August 31, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Just would be nice to have an end date. Can anyone that’s been on tell if they are actively working on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jkbec101 Posted August 31, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I sail on the 18th and have not received a letter. Now that I have typed this up, I have jinxed it and will get the emailed letter later today. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenandJess Posted September 4, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 4, 2022 We sail on the 25th from Barcelona and have had the email to say it’ll be closed for our trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColaPepsi Posted September 18, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 18, 2022 We have just been on Epic, H2O closed won’t make too much difference to your cruise, pool bar is open until midnight & parties etc are located around pool bar instead of H2O…..enjoy… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you want to be breathing that stuff in. Just off the Epic about 2.5 weeks ago and yeah, the entire aft upper deck area including the sports court was closed. Got off at the first port of call in Ajaccio and looked up and the topside is just covered in this very unsightly and gross-looking brownish-yellowish stain. You can kinda see it in the photo below, but it's much more noticeable in person. Noticed 3 or 4 guys in Chantiers d'Atlantique (Epic's builders) shirts onboard, wondering if they were working on whatever's spewing out from the stacks. Another rather unsightly (and quite embarrassing) thing I noticed was that some of the LED lighting outlining each of the letters of the "NORWEGIAN EPIC" nameboard on the aft sundeck was either malfunctioned or just burnt out, so the entire week our name was the "NORWFCIA PIC". Didn't notice this until we disembarked the ship just before sunrise. Embarrassing because we had the gleaming new Wonder of the Seas docked in front of us and we sailed past her at sailaway. Wondered what they were thinking... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonchalant_muse Posted October 15, 2022 #14 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Following. I really hope the Spice H2O area is fixed and ready to roll soon, I cruise on the Epic in April. It's six months away so (fingers crossed) all will be fixed and opened up well before then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNews Posted October 17, 2022 #15 Share Posted October 17, 2022 We're on the Nov 3rd sailing and so far we haven't received a letter indicating it's closed. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made Epic look like scrap metal, the burned out logo is the icing on the cake though lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertDuff Posted October 20, 2022 #17 Share Posted October 20, 2022 On the NCL web site, I entered into a chat and asked when the H20 will be reopened. After asking me to wait so she can try to find out, she answered that October 23, 2022 H20 will reopen. That is good news for us as we will be sailing on her again in December and that was our favorite outdoor area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
