When has this to be complete and is it on schedule??

 

We are on the first cruise from Southampton to Barcelona leaving on Oct 19.

If the crew is correct the dry-dock will end on the 17th of October.

 

Not sure if everything is on schedule but the new water mini golf seems to be finished and the hull paint job is moving along nicely.

I am also on the 19th cruise. Excited to see the new changes (have sailed the Epic 4 times so far) and that "finished on the 17" would make my cruise! Those of us who booked this sailing very early out have had so many changes to deal with that I hope once we board it is all wonderful. I decided that the reason we have to leave on the 19th rather than the 18th is that Paul & Ringo have to come on board to christen the new Cavern Club. They obviously had an engagement that Sunday. ;) Now wouldn't that be nice!

Hello

Seems to be impossible to book any cruise on EPIC for the next 4 months:(

When you goes to NCL.com website there are no cruise available on Epic till may or June 2016!

Any link with actual dry dock?

Or any bug in NCL website

I am having the same problem - makes me a little nervous since we have a cruise booked for this coming January!

I don't know how to embed the video here, but here's a link to a 30-second (time lapse) video showing the removal of one of the diesel generators on the NCL Epic...

was still showing on the UK site last night, and as prices on some trips are cheaper there anyway, if you know what you want and don't mind the cancel penalties worth considering

It works but you have to use the drop down for show by dates.. for some reason it wont show them from the main page (Insidecabins correct as well, there are some bargains to be had on the UK site)

try this one

 

did not work. (was a link to a list of epic EU cruises on NCL.com).

 

Just hope they are adjusting the prices down on insides with UBP, missed getting a deal last month in the UK which no longer has UBP on insides.

I sail out on March 16th on Epic, On checking the NCL website Jan - April of 2016 are not available for booking anymore...Curious.....

[Proud Grandparents]

We are on the same cruise. I also saw what you saw....contacted my TA who looked into it. I have already purchased our airline tickets, and trip insurance so you can understand my concern. She was able to book that cruise so nothing to worry about.

[gxduns]

You are correct. I looked today and there are no Epic cruise until August 2016. I hope it is a bug with website. I just emailed my NCL rep to see what's going on.

Thanks for posting the link, Carl. That' a pretty impressive operation they performed.

I can now see Epic prices for Nov 18, my cabin dropped $300 plus now offering bonus credit this week.

Are there any more photos showing the progress anywhere?

Spend an Hour to find something new. Found the following updates:

[Cruiser Bruiser]

Awesome, thanks!

[GUEST080219]

I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of work they are doing in different public areas all over the ship. Curious if they do similar for the staterooms or just basic cleaning.

[AlicanteMac]

Great pics - thanks!

Me too. Looks more like a re-fit than a 5 year old dry-dock.

[zounds]

Wow. just wow.

[kirsty_r]

Its amazing how much work is going on! Initially it seemed it would just be a few carpets and general paint work, but this is amazing!

[mingo]

I'm getting excited - we are on the 11/18 sailing in the Haven :)

[Cully1953]

My wife and I are on the Nov 1st sailing out of Barcelona, we are getting quite excited as it will be our 1st sea cruise. Thank you for posting the photos
