I had the Chinese specialty meal but the front ‘noodles’ is great and you can sit at a bar and watch food prep as you eat

As a big fan of NCL EPIC, we have one last sailing in August 2027 and the child price is very good at £565pp (when sharing with 2 adults) this date is currently out with a group but if you would like to register interest, if they do not proceed, then let us know

Have you wondered how it’s done: Balcony cabin for 4 people, in the foreground the double bed, which can be split into two singles, in the background is the settee made up as a single bed and the above it the Pullman bed (it’s raised and lowered by the cabin steward)
I took this photo whilst walking along a deck and the cabin steward allowed me to take it, I’m also showing a Birds Eye view of the same cabin. Also an inside cabin (no window) showing the two Pullman beds lowered from the walls. NCL allow us to book these cabins for up to 4 people in all categories (inside, window & balcony) allowing families to choose a cabin to suit their budget

Left my cabin this morning at 7.45 and I was off ship by 8.00. You’ll see the luggage waiting for you laid out in colour order (corresponding to your colour luggage label) transfer to Rome Ciampino on a Sunday is around one hour 15 mins. You can organise a coach with your groups or private Taxi and Ponders are more than willing to help with this

If you’ve never left a cruise ship before here’s how,l: pack your bags at night (leaving clothes for the morning) then place suitcases outside your room on the last night with coloured tags, you’ll receive a letter detailing when your getting off. Once off collect your luggage , according to the colour label, then catch your transfer. I’ll be taking the option of carrying off my luggage (walk off) so won’t need label or to leave luggage outside

There are various speciality restaurants onboard NCL Cruise Ships and las night I tried out Le Bistro a French offering ($60pp) service was great and the food another level up from the already great standards, you can use your drinks package in the restaurant - I didn’t eat all this food and forgot to photograph the escargot starter
