I think I brought them all home and will try to get them uploaded sometime this week! :)

Hi njhorn!

Another tip I would suggest would be to join the board for the April 26th Roll Call:

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2021646

It includes all the other Cruise Critic members who will also be on your sailing (including me!) and sign-ups for various activities (see Post #11 for the link to the sign-up sheets)

Wolf River - yes! Cirque show, if you go the first night, is included in the UDP. And from what I've read on other posts, with the UDP you can go to as many specialty restaurants in one night as you want. So, for example, if you wanted to go eat Appetizers at Le Bistro and then a Meal at La Cucina and then Dessert at Cagney's - you could. Or, in my case, you can go see Cirque included in the UDP the first night and spare yourself from eating there and eat at Cagney's later on! :)

Hi all! :)

After hearing that the food in the Cirque show is not so great, I am thinking that we will go to the 5:15pm early show and then make a late reservation at a restaurant to actually eat dinner in.

Does anyone know how long the show runs? I know the late show starts at 8:30pm but I am curious as to how early I can make our dinner reservation.

Thanks!!

jmv - YES! That is one! Thank you!

I recently booked an April cruise on the Breakaway and couldn't be more excited to check out the ship! :)

I was looking at NCL's Pocket Guide for the ship and noticed that it said there were 28 dining options on board.

(http://www.ncl.com/sites/default/files/18559%20Breakaway%20Pocket%20Guide_05302013.pdf)

Even counting non-traditional dining options (ex: Wine Lovers Lunch which is really more of different menu at the same dining location as other meals - Cirque Theater), I am still only coming up with 26.

Rock Chick - Thank you so much! Jenn.gibbs@live.com

Rock_Chick: Is there any way that I could have a copy of that Word Doc with tips that you have compiled in an e-mail or posted in a link? I am trying to create one for my wedding guests and am sure it would be helpful...

Hi everyone! Sorry it took me awhile to get back here - life has been busy.

Here is the link to the newly updated Power Point with pics/menus/etc.

http://www.4shared.com/file/h-g-YFT3/_2__EPIC_NEW_PICTURES.html

Be forewarned, it does take awhile to download as there are HUNDREDS of slides and pictures - - but for those of us who can't get enough of Epic, the wait should be worth it! :)

I went ahead and also transcribed the menu for Wasabi from the link to the pictures CannonFodder posted (Thank You!)

sdmike - Unfortunately, we have to wait until January 1st to board the Epic...but if we were on the 7/24, your reception crashing would have been welcome! :)

No problem everyone!

I actually had already typed it all out to go in the Cruise Manual I am mailing to all of our wedding guests coming on the Epic with us, so it was easy - just cut and paste!

For any of you who may have downloaded the Powerpoint Presentation I posted awhile back with all of the pics of the Epic organized - - I have updated it with new pictures and with the new menus I have. If anyone is interested, I would be happy to post the link to download it again...

Yes, I meant to post that one as well!

As I said earlier, I have yet to see any pictures of the Teppanyaki or Wasabi menus from the Epic...but just so you have an idea - here are copies of the menus from similar restaurants on other NCL ships. If anyone has a picture of the actual Epic menu though, please post it!

I have seen various pictures everywhere but I think it would take longer to find the links then it would for me to just copy and paste the menus from the Word Doc I have saved with all of them.

The only ones I haven't seen confirmed yet are Teppanyaki and Wasabi. If anyone knows where there is a pic of either of these - please add to the list!

The following are the rest of the specialty restaurants (Cagneys, La Cucina, Shanghais, Moderno, Le Bistro, Cirque, Noodle Bar) plus the menus for Epic Club, O'Sheehan's and Room Service.

Still would love more info on the rest of the included restaurants. Anyone know what the menu is at the Spice H20 grill? Great Outdoors? The always available side of the menu at Taste and Manhattan??
