Norwegian Epic cruise ship - Blue man Group, 21 restaurants and Nickelodeon at sea
The battle for domination in the cruise ship world just heated up a bit more - as Norwegian revealed some more details of their newest ship - the Norwegian Epic.
The amenities on this ship are quite simply mind boggling - 21 restaurants, a Blue Man group show, Nickelodeon at Sea, bowling, a sports club, an under-21 nightclub, the world's largest at-sea spa, a water park with multiple slides and the world's first tube slide, an ice bar, The Second City comedy club, the Cirque dreams and dinner show, a rock and roll piano bar and 15 different bars and lounges.
The lineup of restaurants is equally impressive with highlights like the first Brazilian Churrascaria at sea and whole-ship pizza delivery (yes - you can order a pizza for the pool, or in your room).
Other dining options include a noodle bar, bistro, tapas bar, adults only supper-club, Irish pub and a Latin-Asian fusion poolside eatery.
The Norwegian Epic sets sail in 90 days, on itineraries out of Miami. Her maiden voyage starts in London heading to Miami. In the summer, the Epic will also make trips from Barcelona through the western Mediterranean with stops in Italy and France.

That ship looks amazing and can't wait to get on it. I wonder if it'll have limited destinations at the start due to it's size and not being able to port in certain locations. I believe the Oasis of the Seas has had that problem.
The tube slide looks like a lot of fun and I hope the Cirque show is a good one. Now, trying to decide which cruise is most appealing. The Caribbean area or the Transatlantic offering.

Hi Pat,
I have sailed on the Oasis a couple of times, and I must say your decision of The Caribbean or Transatlantic is a tough one to make. On one hand, you have five or six sea days to make the most of everything the Epic has to offer, yet risk getting bored. Or do you cruise the Caribbean and only get three sea days and don't get a chance to experience everything onboard. Well to answer you honestly, there's a reason we went back to the Oasis for a second cruise. Once just wasn't enough. Have you been to the Caribbean before. If not, I recommend doing the the Caribbean cruise. No matter what ship you're on, two many sea days without a port can be too much and a bit boring. One of the best parts about cruising is seeing new places as well, and St Maarten and St Thomas are very nice. I've done many Transatlantics, but give me a regular cruise anyday.
As for the Oasis not being able to port in certain locations, yes you are correct. And not being able to tender also limits it's port of call options. Trying to get that many people off onto tender boats would be a logistical nightmare.
Anyway, which ever cruise you decide on, I'm sure you will have a ball. The Epic does sound exciting and something I'm looking forward to myself.
Take care and smooth sailing.
