What's your cabin# Ernie? I have a few partial pics of the starboard side of the Epic, you might be able to see your cabin on those.

On another note, check out cabin# 14118 in one of the full size pics (it's the cabin right before the spa on port side). It's a Spa Balcony cabin and it's got a gigantic balcony! The thing is as wide as 3 of the regular balconies below.

---

I'm in 14139. It's a Spa Suite. The balcony should be a little wider, but unfortunately I wasn't able to snag one of the deeper balcony cabins on the edge. They were already booked.

If you have a pic I would love to see it.

Thanks!

These 3 pics on Shipspotting should do it.

The pic is the easiest to spot, 14139 is directly 2 cabins forward of the scaffolding.

You can easily see your balcony here too as it's the last one before the "bump out" ends.

It's a little harder to see your cabin in this last pic, but you should be able to nail it down to 3 cabins that could be 14139.

I'm fascinated by this picture:

You can really see how NCL placed different venues at different areas of the ship by looking at the tinted windows. The bump "ins" and "outs" are pretty obvious too, same with the different locations of the exposed balconies on deck 8 and 9. Very interesting to say the least.

Thanks for the links. I can see the cabin, but I'm looking forward to more current, high resolution photos taken of the starboard side.

Her inspiration is definitely a

5000 passengers is a metaphor

I guess the choice cabins get direct access on and off the ship?

Epic's exterior from the front 1/4 angle is not great. Her villa complex is too square and at least a deck too tall... it overwhelms the superstructure. But from the side and stern view, I think she looks very nice. Not streamlined and flowing like RCCL ships, but powerful and purposeful.

NCL doesn't need to make excuses for Epic. Along with the Oasis, she's the most intriguing new ship to hit the seas in the past 5 years. Her design won't match Oasis, but I think NCL invested in the right places - cabins, dining & evening entertainment. On these 3 key selling points, Epic should give Oasis a run for its money.

Time for NCL to place an order for an F4 ship. Epic's been so much fun to debate... we'll need another to fill the gap after she launches.

I think it's a little premature to speak about F4 or the success of EPIC. EPIC has yet to prove herself. All the bells and whistles in the world won't mean a damn if NCL hasn't fine tuned the details. I'm talking about the logistics of getting people on and off the ship, the service, overall product consistency, and food quality and presentation. These areas have been lacking in the past. Also, the onboard passenger flow of EPIC is untested. Will there will bottlenecks? Excessive crowding of the pool? No where to go if it is raining outside? Etc. Etc. OASIS has proven herself to be exceptional in all these areas, and it took a ton of planning and $$ on the part of RCI to make OASIS one of the most successful newbuilds of all time. I'll be interested to see how EPIC stacks up. For the sake of NCL I hope they did their homework. EPIC *needs* to be a major success for NCL to thrive. They have had too many miss-steps in the past and it has curtailed their success. Lets hope the transatlantic goes smoothly, and then the first Caribbean cruises. Hopefully NCL did what RCI did, and that is limit capacity initially so the ship can ramp up to full performance.

I would also add CELEBRITY SOLSTICE to OASIS and EPIC as the most intriguing ships within the past five years.
