MUST SEE-BRAND NEW Norwegian Epic Cruise Liner

Nope your not seeing things, this is one of the largest cruise liners in the world, the Norwegian Epic, operated by Norwegian Cruise Line. The same cruise line that operates the Norwegian Gem, the ship I went on for spring break. This ship is much bigger than the Norwegian Gem, the Gem is 960 feet long, the Epic is 1,081 feet long!! The best part is, its here in NYC for the July 4th weekend after sailing from the shipyard in France, then calling to Rotterdam and Southhampton UK, and then making a transatlantic crossing to the US. The Epic will leave July 5th, and then proceed to Miami, Florida, where it will be homeported. As far as the elevators and escalators, they are KONE Marine!!!! I noted that the some of the lifeboats were off the ship, this was because if the lifeboats remained on the ship, the boats could possibly strike the berth.

Jon, I hope you did get to travel on the EPIC. It was a "wow" experience! I was able to travel in August of 2010 and I enjoyed every minute of it. I actually was on the 'Maiden Voyage' of NCL's DAWN - A Christmas Cruise... that was out of this world! I do hope to go one the GEM this coming November.

@alejandroomi The EPIC was amazing, but I have no plans to travel on her. I am booked for the Oasis of the Seas in April 2012.

I cant call this a ship... Dont tell to freak wave that this ship exist. She can eat this ship alive!

[JonElevator]

@Vessel87 Shes quite large indeed, 1,003 feet long. A freak wave actually damaged the Norwegian Dawn, and I sailed on the cruise right after, only suffering some broken windows and minor cabin/hallway damage that was repired quickly.

[TITANICLUSITANIA]

My opinion

Greatest Cruise Ship(s) Ever

Norwegian Epic & Celebrity Equinox

Greatest Ocean Liner(s) Ever

Queen Mary 2 & SS Normandie

Greatest Tanker(s) Ever

Knock Nevis & Batillus.

[DEVASTATOR478]

OASIS OF THE SEAS AND QUEEN MARY 2 AND FREEDOM OF THE SEAS AND AND DISNEY DREAM SHIP AND MSC FANTASIA ARE MUCH BETTER !!!

@JonElevator yes can be large but with a design like that she can capsize... and is ugly... is sad that almost ships are giant boxes.
