GigCrusier Posted April 28, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 28, 2010 H20 zone? Adults only? 18 or 21? AND.... does "adult" apply to Posh too? Thoughts, guesses or.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddakrt Posted April 28, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 28, 2010 H20 zone? Adults only? 18 or 21? AND.... does "adult" apply to Posh too? Thoughts, guesses or.... Spice H2O is adults only, didn't specify age, but did mention they would show movies on the large screen (I guess they think kids won't like movies or something). Nothing much was said of Posh except that it is open strictly to suite guests. No clubs carry cover charges except for the ice bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMaterial Posted April 28, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Spice H2O is adults only, didn't specify age, but did mention they would show movies on the large screen (I guess they think kids won't like movies or something). Nothing much was said of Posh except that it is open strictly to suite guests. No clubs carry cover charges except for the ice bar. That's disheartening to hear about POSH. It looked like out of all the places to hang out at night that it would be the most like Ibiza and there is something to be said about that! If you've never been to Ibiza, Spain - it's the ultimate party destination in the WORLD. The look of Posh reminded me of the patio area at Space in Ibiza. :) Here's hoping they change it or do some sort of cover charge for it. I might be willing to pay it if the DJ was good. So much for different club vibes in different venues. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarz85 Posted April 30, 2010 #17 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Any idea what the date is NCL plans to leave NYC and head to Miami? Curious as I do not see that sailing available for purchase. I saw a post about this a Few weeks ago. Due to a US law, I don't remember the name of it a foreign registered ship cannot start a cruise in one US port and finish in another without having a stop at an international port. Hence the USA-USA relocations always visit international ports. However I believe they can do a 'cruise to nowhere' where the ships depart aNd return to the same port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I believe they can do a 'cruise to nowhere' where the ships depart aNd return to the same port NCL is granted the CTNs because of their operation in Hawaii being US flagged. :) I agree on the repo cruise though, it does have to call at a foreign port for it to be revenue generating (with pax). Let the crew have fun because they are going to be working their tails off for the pax in the coming weeks to really make sure the Epic rolls out with great reviews! I know a lot of crew heading that way and I believe they deserve the two day break to have fun! Hopefully they'll make sure H20 is spicy for the pax!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enyliram Posted May 4, 2010 #19 Share Posted May 4, 2010 re: the legends show. do you know if they change the cast and the legend they are doing or just the performer? for example, will there be a new performer doing elvis or will there be a different legend?

The way I understand it, the characters will be different every 4 months. As for the cast, I would think they would change too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intrepid_guy Posted May 4, 2010 #21 Share Posted May 4, 2010 So, am I reading this right? The Nick characters will be on every EPIC cruise?
