I feel for you! I had this exact thing happen to me last year. I left Fl to Rome for a 7 day cruise on the Epic. I got to Rome with just the clothes I had on. I had 1 day before the cruise. In Rome the shops were expensive and had trouble finding much. I boarded the Cruise the next day and told the ship what happened and they suggested I get right off the ship because the port had some great shopping. I was able in port to buy everything I needed. Just make sure you try everything on. Everything I could try on was fine. I couldn't the underwear and it was way to small. So just a warning about the sizes. Now when I alerted NCL about the issue they did paperwork for me. They gave me a toiletry kit and a free same day laundry bag and 1 t-shirt. Every day I would have a message from NCL that they contacted the Airline for me and could expect my luggage the next day. I heard that same thing almost every day. Well my luggage never made it the entire cruise. I ended up buying a little in each port. On night before the end of the cruise I was worried what to do about carrying everything off I went to guest services and they gave me a free piece of luggage! Asked if it was big enough and it wa I suppose if it wasn't they would of given me something else. NCL was amazing and it wasn't their fault. It just sucked being told every day that next port my luggage would be there. 2 weeks after I got home my luggage arrived with tags from all over the world. My luggage is better traveled then I am. I was able to get direct from my airlines right around $1,600. Have a great cruise! Make the best of it and was a good ice breaker and story to tell while on the ship.

Thanks

As a Lego fan, I was wondering if there was anything Lego related that's worth experiencing? I will be in Copenhagen in June.

OMG Hot buttered pretzels! That alone now makes this ship my top choice. I miss the ginger mojitos!

According to the US state travel advisory Sweden – Level 1: Exercise normal precautions

Code alpha = medical emergency

Code Oscar = man overboard

Code Bravo = fire

I would like this also as I feel the same when the bed is by the closet hard to use the closet. I have searched and still unsure which my breakaway balcony is I'm staying in 14726 and have gotten mixed pictures showing both ways!

You can have dinner in the MDR then a specialty then to one of the 2 smaller MDR and then the buffet then the other MDR followed by OSheenans and then the rest of the specialty all in a day!

I never saw gym showers on the Epic.

 

The spa does have great showers on the Epic, and I highly recommend the spa on Epic for relaxing with your wife/husband.

I had a spa pass on the Epic last year for my cruise. I used the Spa shower daily instead of the room shower. The spa showers are awesome as is their private balcony!

The Epic Spa has it's own Balcony. Even though not the newest ship I personally find it to have the best spa. My last epic cruise I had a stuido and even though lots of ports spent a lot of time in the spa and the balcony.

Please be careful selling things onboard. I had a friend who's daughter while on board tried selling magazine subscriptions for her school and they warned her no passenger is allowed to sell anything is against ship policy. Just don't want you to get in trouble selling any of those beautiful pins. I believe we met on the Getaway years ago!

Oh wow. I didn’t know that.

 

Do you know why they don’t have a casino? Is it because they don’t port outside of the United States?

Can only gamble in international waters.

Have a great trip!

Have a great trip! I look forward to your review.

Have a great trip. I was also on the SS Norway in the 80's. What a great ship!

$19.95 is the current cost of the mojito flight

With NCL if they're 18-20 they can only get a beer and wine package. No hard alcohol.

For my last cruise, it didn't seem any excursions were available until just over 60 days out.

Flights are not covered with ubp but you can order each flavor separately one at a time....

I also wanted to try the flights but ordered each flavor on it's own so wouldn't have to pay.

Hi first time on a Cruise on NCL Epic from Rome in August

I took that same exact cruise last year and it has been my favorite cruise ever!

Looking forward to your review! Have a great cruise!

I also have a question... Why didn't the wife just switch seats with her husband if it was just 1 passenger? Wouldn't that have been an easier solution?

On NCL I saw a little girl run up to her parents who were alone in a hot tub yelling she had to go potty, The parents pulled down her bathing suit and the girl peed right into the hot tub the parents were sitting in and they never moved or stopped her. There were many looking with mouths wide open in shock/ horror.

You have to take care of yourself and not expect others to do it for you. I have back issues and am tall when in coach if someones reclined their seat till it touched my knees it would add to my discomfort. Did I ever expect or think rude for that person to recline all the way or would I ever ask them to move their seat? Of course not. If I want to assure my comfort I take care of myself and book a proper seat. Call me selfish but I have enough of my problems to worry about someone who wasn't smart enough to take care of themselves. I personally find it rude if someone asks me to move my seat that I worked hard for and personally deserve to be as comfortable as possible in the seat I paid for and that for me is reclined. Call me rude but I would be the first to move seats for a family or couple as long as the seat was the same category. Also, do a ton of charity work. I am just tired of people expecting strangers to make exceptions for them because they weren't wise enough to plan appropriate travel for themselves and then call out others. I have a long flight coming up and to take care of myself and my own issues I booked business class.

Thanks, everyone. After reviewing the BA site and everyone's advice I will give myself 2 hours instead of the 3 I had originally planned.
