Ncl epic - o'sheehan's 24 hr. Restaurant

Of the information that I have seen so far, O'Sheehans specialty restaurant on the Epic is the only 24-hour restaurant on the ship (excluding room service). It appears from the menu description that this restaurant will be similar to that of the Blue Lagoon on other NCL ships. The Blue Lagoon is one of my favorites and has been very convenient for us on past cruises.

The Blue Lagoon was always no-charge on other ships. I see that O'Sheehans has a surcharge however, I have not seen how much the surcharge is.

Does anyone know what NCL will be charging for this specialty restaurant?

Thanks,

I don't believe there is a surcharge for this restaurant.

I was under the impression and from what I have heard and read in the brochure that there is no surcharge for O'Sheehan's. I am hoping that is the case because I plan on eating there frequently.

O'Sheehan's does not charge for food/meals.

Only charge in O'Sheehan is for Bowling some drinks ie Alcoholic, pop, beer and speicalty coffees etc. The meals and your take out of food is free.

The OP is correct. This is from the NCL website -

This place is so inviting, everyone here really may eventually know your name. Dine on American classics as well as your favorite comfort foods, served 24 hours a day. There's even a three-lane bowling alley.

I can see O'Sheehans turning into quite the gathering place for those of us who would rather enjoy our cruise than sleep through it. :)

If you watch the 1 hour long Cruise critic tour on the Epic all these questions are answered, except the cost for bowling......

Bowling on other NCL ships that have lanes is $5.00/game.

Or when they run a special of $10 all you can bowl.

In your experience, do the lanes get so crowded that only a few people get to try them? My kids have said they want to bowl, but I told them to not get their hopes up with 6 lanes and 4000 people

We bowled on the Pearl and never had a problem getting a lane. There were only I think two allys there. I guess a lot of cruisers are not bowlers...but it sure is fun especially on a moving ship...I hope you get to try it.

Looks like same items as they had in Blue Lagoon hard to read but it's a photo: http://public.fotki.com/HeinBloed/norwegian-epic/2010-ncl-epic-22104.html#media the photo is around 389 for O'Sheehan's.

He has some terrific photos and new ones as long as his site doesn't get slammed with onlookers you should be able to access the pics.

Thanks for the great replies. I was very surprised when I read the info that I had seen showing the the cost for the restaurant. I doubted it mostly for the reason that it also said that reservations were required.

I got the info from my T/A's website:

http://www.*****.com/dining_ship.cfm?shipid=515&id=npfy

I might drop them a line to update their info.

Thanks for the good news. I love the Blue Lagoon(s) and I hope that the only difference on the Epic is the name of the restaurant.

It looks as though it will have everything the Blue Lagoon had and more. I noticed on the menu that it served breakfast all day which seems like a nice bonus.

Breakfast ALL DAY??? Seriously? Oh wow...that is the best news I've heard yet. :D hehe (I can eat breakfast any time of the day and on those days I'll want to sleep in a little, this is great news)

I love all-day breakfast and sometimes breakfast for dinner is a huge treat!

The one and ONLY thing I ALWAYS hate about vacations (no matter where you go), is that you have to be up by a certain time in order to make breakfast. I'm not a early riser to begin with because I usually stay up half the night. That's just my schedule. I will be pulling my hair out to try to get up early enough to be off the boat by 8am on dock days. Eeeekkk! :eek:

Thanks so much! I've tried to get one his website a few times before but never could get on. It was always closed down when I tried. But thanks for reminding me to keep checking, and letting me know it was there. It worked this time!!! :D I've never been on NCL before so I had no idea really what is served in the Blue Lagoon. My husband is going to be so happy. Breakfast all day! Wow.
