2012 Epic Transatlantic?

[erdoran]

I didn't see how/when Epic was going to go back to Europe from Miami in 2012..did I miss something?

From the press release:

 

Norwegian Epic offers two options: an 11-day Transatlantic from Miami to Barcelona on April 14, 2012 and a 13-day Transatlantic from Barcelona to Miami on October 21, 2012.

thanks--I guess they aren't available yet for booking on NCL's website, just the regular sailings are.

The press release says the itineraries are on general sale tomorrow so hopefully they will have the transatlantics up then.

The Epic 2012 transatlantic itinerary (Oct. 21, 2012 Barcelona to Miami) is now on NCL.com, but the fares are considerably higher (particularly the suites) than the 2011 cruise.

[erdoran]

thanks. Does anyone remember if fares for the 2011 TA were initially high and then went down, or were they always those bargain prices up until NCL increased them? When I booked studios were $899 and CVs were $3000, and that was around July 4, 2010.

We booked our Aft Penthouse suite back in February 12, 2010 at the price was low at $1,949 pp. Now the same room for the 2012 TA is $3549 pp! Right now studios are $1199 and CV's are $5,849

 

I'm glad our 25th anniversary is in 2011 and not 2012!
