I will be sailing first time on the Epic February, 2018. I am booked into a solo cabin and traveling alone. I haven't cruised in years and feel a little undaunted, but am looking forward to a new adventure.

I think that's a great idea. If the lobster cannot be served as a "cruise staple", then offering it with a charge would be acceptable and everyone would be happy.

I guess I have been spoiled as I am a New England girl and have always enjoyed lobster whenever I wanted it. To me, it isn't a big deal. but I do see your point.

Forgive me for saying this, but what is with the lobster? People are acting like it's the end of the world not having it served on a cruise ship. I am grateful for all of the food served on a cruise. Nicely presented, prepared properly, and no dishes to do! If I can't have lobster for dinner, no big deal.

I just booked online a cruise with Norweigian Epic for 2018. The offer included a "free drink package" for the 11 day cruise. When I paid my deposit and received the invoice via email, I saw an onboard service charge for $156. Is this to cover the bar gratuities? Also, can you pre-pay tips for dining and cabin personnel as they do on other cruise lines?

Thanks, that is the way I interpreted it as well.

I am cruising solo Feb. 2018. I am wondering if I am allowed to bring 2 bottle of wine onboard even though it is just me?
