Do you happen to remember which dock/pier the Epic was at in Civit for Embarkation/Disembarkation? Is it the long skinny one with the Roma Cruise Terminal on it? Trying to figure out walking to the shuttle buses that get you to the ship and which shuttle bus stop we should plan to go for pick up. We'll be walking over with our luggage from our AirBNB about 10 min away on the seawall.

Anyone know which pier/dock, NCL usually docks at in Civit? Is it along the long Roma Cruise Terminal pier (Docks 10 to 13)? We'll be walking over from our AirBNB on the seawall for our sailing in May and I'm trying to figure out which shuttle bus stop makes most sense to wait at ... the Fortezza stop on the traffic circle just outside of Forte Michelangelo (10 min walk with luggage along the seawall) or the Largo della Pace stop (20 min walk with luggage along seawall and then a few typically Italian streets).

We were on her during the 3rd week of March, last year. It wasn’t noticeably busier than we would have expected. The only time we felt the crowd the entire cruise was directly after muster. We also have 4 kids and Splash Academy was never too busy either.

We’re doing the 11-18 this year (our March Break in Ontario). We’ll have to see if it feels busier.

How much for floats? Do we need cash for them or just our room card?

Anyone know if the beaches in the coves in front of the large and small cabanas are for everyone's use? I've read they are quieter than the main beach but don't want to head over there with 4 kids if they are for cabana or haven use only.

When did they leave NYC? Were they late getting into Canaveral or just late leaving?

It was no longer on the menu on the 3/5/17 sailing :( Neither was the lobster for upcharge! Sounds like you were on one of the last sailings to offer both.

The tomahawk steak was on the menu last night. Maybe they don't always have them due to availability?

There is a space between the 2 pools that I think may have been planned as a BBQ space but it sat unused the entirety of our cruise last week.

We were on the same cruise. We also did self assist but decided to go down about 7:20 and literally walked right off the ship and through customs. That was a pleasant surprise after the nightmare of the marathon screwing with traffic on embarkation day turning our 15 min drive in from our hotel in Jersey City into a 3 hour game of NYC street Tetris.

We'll be sailing in a couple of weeks and for the life of me, I can't find an actual price for doing the Dig at Atlantis. We'll be 2 adults, 4 kids and would like to do it on our own (water taxi over, walk along the shops to Coral Towers, get tickets for Dig). We are not interested in the beach or the Aquapark.

Thanks in advance for anyone who has current prices for 2017.
