![]() ![]() If you have never been on a cruise before and are not sure whether you would enjoy a formal setting, I definitely think travelling with Norwegian Cruise Line is a good option. Everything was set up to be flexible, from dining times, to dress codes to just hanging out by the pool. It really did feel like you could cruise on your terms without all the pomp and ceremony that you find onboard some other ships. If you liked to dress up, you could push the boat out (pardon the awful pun) but if you wanted to dress down in jeans and a t-shirt you would feel equally at home. ![]() I loved that you were able to wear what you felt comfortable in. In that respect, it felt like the perfect cruise holiday for me and my family. My favourite aspect of this cruise was just how relaxed it was. The Norwegian Epic definitely ticks the box when it comes to choice. Every bar and restaurant displayed it’s own unique style and ambience so that you really do feel like you are eating or drinking somewhere different every night. Most of the places were quite small and intimate so you soon forgot that you were onboard a ship carrying over 4000 passengers. I loved the amount of choice that we had for places to eat and drink. It always feels busy on an embarkation day, but things soon settle down. The ship is modern and very spacious, so don’t get overwhelmed by your first day onboard. I thought it would help me get my bearings, and also a lot of photos without capturing unsuspecting holiday makers in them. Any sensible blogger would have gone back to bed at this point, but I saw the perfect opportunity to explore the ship while it was quite. Catching The Sunriseĭid I get up? I even surprised myself by making it out of bed and joining the other sunrise chasers to enjoy ‘Here Comes The Sun’ on the top deck. Then it was off to bed to prepare for a busy day at sea exploring the ship and to make it up for a 5.40am sunrise. We made a snack stop after the show and tried some delicious nachos with crispy bacon, the perfect side for the cocktail of the day. This is where you will get tasty snacks 24/7, and you can even go bowling. Thank goodness for O’Sheehan’s Bar and Grill. That being said the steak was delicious and the prawns were perfectly cooked, I just wish there had been a little more of them. I don’t think one piece of broccoli is considered a portion of vegetables by anybody’s standards and serving prawns with gravy was a whole new concept to me. Now, the food was lovely, but I was left feeling a little short changed in the portion department. In fact all you need for effective communication in this setting is a kazoo, and you are bound to get a lot of laughs.ĭinner was served to us during the show, and as you already know I was expecting great things. It was perfect for it’s multicultural audience, as no words were needed. Cirque Dreams was a magnificent show, full of great costumes, amazing tricks and plenty or acrobatics. First Night On The Norwegian EpicĪfter a little cruise bonding and getting to know each other, it was time for a quick change before reconvening for the evening’s entertainment in the Spiegel Tent. It made for a much needed change from the weather back in the UK, and the journalists and bloggers on the press trip were all in good spirits. The sun was shining and the sky was the bluest blue. I was looking forward to dinner already.Ī quick ship tour and a glass or two of prosecco later and everything was set for a great cruise on the Norwegian Epic. It definitely set the tone for the rest of the cruise, when it came to the food. The cod with spinach, sautéed mixed vegetables and potatoes from the buffet hit the spot perfectly just before having to go to our musters drill. After a a few hours sat on a plane and cooped up on a bus, the Garden Cafe sounded like the perfect place for a weary traveller to refuel. I checked out the ships plan, and felt drawn to the Garden Cafe. The one thing you can always guarantee onboard a cruise ship is there will be somewhere to get some food. All that travelling had made Amanda from The Ana Mum Diary and myself a little on the hungry side. ![]() When we arrived onboard the Norwegian Epic we were a tad peckish.
