[inselvideo]

Really nice Video!Wow thats a huge Ship!In Germany was built at the Moment the new Norwegian Breakaway for NCL!With 144000 BRZ is the new Ship a little bit smaller as the Epic!Greetings from Germany!

[NJPhotographer62]

@inselvideo Thanks very much! I can't wait until Breakaway comes to New York in 2013!

[DreunParanormal]

Loved this, was good to see it from a different angle, as i was onboard her at the time. Thanks for posting

[NJPhotographer62]

@DreunParanormal Thanks! You're welcome! Haven't been on one yet. Maybe someday.

[dutchvincentvega]

nice video, you shot some very nice footage!

[NJPhotographer62]

@dutchvincentvega  Thanks!

[b0lsachica]

do you know if passangers are allowed on her bow? or is the bow restricted?

[NJPhotographer62]

@b0lsachica I don't know the answer to that question. Sorry.

[jmsrob]

@b0lsachica The Bow is restricted it's for the Crew only

[DreunParanormal]

@b0lsachica The bow was restricted as it was only accesible by the crew. I was on her for the maiden voyage from Southampton, and coming into New York was surreal.

[heath5115]

No, it's not a box on the top, it's a cruise ship version of a Bump-it!

[scullyy]

it's true, the exterior looks a big retarded.

[fredClaessen]

Dear Scoth are you on facebook?

[NJPhotographer62]

@fredClaessen No, I'm not on Facebook Fred.

[beirch]

dunno why they put that ugly box on top of her. could have at least made it look a bit better

[kandi911871]

This ship is indescribable!!!!!!!! Nothing but truly AMAZING!! Can't wait to take her Eastern Carribean trip this comeing summer! :)

[shipsbells]

No fire boats for a maiden arrival, shame. What is that about? Looks way too top heavy with that "box o' cheese" on top of her bridge.

[NJPhotographer62]

@shipsbells Don't know why there wasn't a fireboat.

[LucidDreamer65]

@shipsbells those are the suites

[siwel87assassin]

room was to small the arcade was rubbish and not the best cruise i have been on but the only one with a sweet shop

[DreunParanormal]

I'm in love with this ship i was lucky as was on her for the maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. And she is beautiful inside and out.

[TassyDevil04]

I'm in love with this ship.....it was an amazing experience arriving into NYC and the amount of us on deck thinking crikey i hope we clear the bridge...and to have the crew play Frank Sinatra's New York, New York as we arrived into port was fantastic...i have memories to last a lifetime and i'm taking her transatlantic trip back from Miami to Barcelona next year too and can't wait.

[NJPhotographer62]

@TassyDevil04 Cool!!

[ptlmdr]

Appreciate it!!! tough not seeing your kid for so long but through someone eyes like yours I felt like I did get to see him....brought tears to my eye. Thanks his MOM

[NJPhotographer62]

@ptlmdr You're very welcome!

[ptlmdr]

Thanks NJphotographer62. Our son at only 25 is a 1st officer on the Bridge. A 2007 graduate of Massachusetts Maritime Academy he has worked for NCL since his graduation. He was very excited when asked if he would go to the EPIC to be trained for its maiden voyage. He was sent to France in March for the final building process. We tried to get to New York to get a cabin on the ship for the 4th of July but MACY's a contract with the ship so we missed out. Our son said it was amazing. Thanks

[NJPhotographer62]

@ptlmdr You're welcome! Thanks! That's too bad you couldn't get on her for the fireworks. I shot the departure around noon today in the terrible heat and haze. I just uploaded it and it is processing now. Will make it public when it's done. Look for it a little later.

[Joaniepast]

Love it!!  Awesome!!

[NJPhotographer62]

@Joaniepast  Ty, ty, ty!!! :o)

[Banana88446]

[sanyo51]

[NJPhotographer62]

@sanyo51 Cool!  Glad you had a good trip!

[Tyneships]

Largest Cruise Ship to dock in Manhattan - some sight and great video as usual ;-)

[NJPhotographer62]

@Tyneships  Thanks!

[Lilyankee2424]

Very Great video! but just one thing was her disembark "chaotic" like how I heard the Carnival Dream's was?

[NJPhotographer62]

@Lilyankee2424 Thanks! I have no idea.

[fredClaessen]

Again very nice Scot. It was a very clear day that good to see make your shots beautiful. Gr. Fred

[NJPhotographer62]

@fredClaessen Thanks Fred!

[savvyshows]

Thank you for this video NJPhotographer62! I was onboard her when she was sailing in, and it is exciting to see her arrival from your perspective. If only you could zoom in and see the people, you could find me and my husband standing on our balcony as she docked (13th deck, midship). She is beautiful on the inside; that's for certain! We enjoyed our cruise from Southampton thoroughly, and future cruisers aboard her will enjoy theirs even more (we got all the kinks worked out for you)!

[NJPhotographer62]

@savvyshows You're very welcome! Glad you had a good trip!

[fleecey]

what's up with that marge simpson bouffant on her head? this ship is huge. new. but beautiful? people, lay off the NCL koolaid. it's clouding your judgment.

[Nokken96]

Cool! This ship is new and beautiful! :) Very nice filmed and edited !

[NJPhotographer62]

@Nokken96 Thanks! She just left. I'm still filming. Look for the video later today or tomorrow!!

[tcvolleyball]

You had the perfect position to watch the Epic come into NYC. I read that EPIC had only about 24 inches of clearance between her and the Verrazano Bridge. I had responded with my Oasis of the Seas video for size comparison. Both beautiful ships!

[NJPhotographer62]

@tcvolleyball Thanks!!

[pedrocooper]

Excellent work as usual! 

[NJPhotographer62]

@pedrocooper Thanks!

[WamsWarrior]

Very nice. I'm glad NCL was able to build this massive beauty. Is she suppose to have a sister. I think I heard that somewhere..... The only thing I don't like about epic is her bathrooms and she has no regular oceanview staterooms.

[NJPhotographer62]

@WamsWarrior Thanks! Don't know about a sister ship.

[WamsWarrior]

@NJPhotographer62 yeah i thought i heard something about it but i'm not sure

[dodge889]

nice vidoe i am going on her august 28th cant wate

[NJPhotographer62]

@dodge889 Thanks! You're very lucky!

[dodge889]

@NJPhotographer62 i know this will be my 5th cruise with ncl

[coolbeans1216]

[NJPhotographer62]

@coolbeans1216 I agree!

[DiamondBonz]
