Epic questions

[Erwende]

My dh, me and ds (3) are on the 12/11 Epic in an aft balcony. Any suggestions on what the sleeping arrangements should be? I am getting nervous about this curved couch? Does it pull out to a bed?

 

Are any of the specialty restaurants open for lunch?

 

Thanks

I'm sure the couch pulls out as an extra bed just like it does in the other NCL ships. I just looked at some pictures of the room and that got to be it! Bon Voyage!

The couch will be perfect for your son. My 9 year old slept great on the couch in our room, and my 13 year old slept like a log in grandma's room on the couch. Just FYI, the couch pulls out from the seatback providing a bed that is plenty large.

 

You can see it made up in this picture

Thanks for the pic. Mind resting easier!!

 

Anyone know if specialty restaurants open for lunch?

[sdmike]

just looking back on my dailies, and it appears that on any day you can hit some of the ala carte places (Noodle Bar, Sushi Bar), but none of the specialties were open for lunch. They open at 5 (a couple) or 5:30 (most)

Taste, Garden Cafe, O'Sheehans were all open for lunch

Can you suggest a nice quiet place to read?

On deck amidships in the center there is a covered area with chairs instead of loungers. Depending on the time of day it was very quiet. Also back behind Shakers martini bar there is a pretty secluded living room area. Also, on Deck 7 where the shuffleboard is there are chairs that most people do not find...

the public sun deck on 18 is another good place, as is your balcony. I think Bliss is a library during the day as well. Also, don't forget the spa loungers :)

went on 9/11/10...the bed DOES NOT pull out..it is curved and was NOT comfortable....my husband is 6 ft and did not fit in the bed....we had a handicapped unit so it was much bigger than the standard aft room #13286. we visited a standard room with the couch...what a strange little piece of furniture...

o'sheehan was the best for beakfast or late night ..after midnight...

depends on how tall the 3rd person is....my husband didn't fit in the bed..let alone on the couch....

Just got off the Epic on Oct 9th and the last week they had opened Shanghai's for lunch on sea days. The fee was only $7.50 each. More of the 5 cents 10 cents (nickel and dime) that NCL is famous for.

I suppose it would be better if they simply did not offer an Asian restaurant at all...like almost every other ship. As I recall, no one was forcing anyone to go there for lunch. Passengers could eat in the main dining room...as they would on almost every other ship.
