NCl Epic - Sep 2015 / Oct 2015

[jimmybog]

Anyone know why the EPic is unavailable to book between Sep 20th - 2015 and Oct 18th 2015. All booking sites I have checked show it unavailable between these dates. Surely it cant be full over this 4 week period?

Strange!

 

Even on the NCL site today, they are not available -- and we are already booked on the October 5th sailing from Barcelona!

 

:eek:
