“Norwegian Epic’s CHOICE FOR DAYTIME ACTIVITIES will appeal to all those who like to STAY BUSY ON HOLIDAY”
bit of ‘homework’ on all the options in advance and pre-book the ones you most like the sound of (which Norwegian’s online system is well equipped to do). Seven of them come with a cover charge, from $10-$30 a head, while three feature á la carte pricing (the counter-service Asian trio of the Noodle Bar, Sushi Bar and Wasabi) and the other eight are all complimentary. If you don’t want to pay extra, you can still take your pick of the Manhattan
Room and Taste, the two main dining rooms, with the same evening menu but completely different décor and atmosphere; the buffet-style offerings of Garden Café, the Great Outdoors and Spice H2O; O’Sheehan’s pub & grill; the snacks of the Atrium Café; and, for those in the Haven section of the ship (see Panel), the indoor/outdoor Epic Club. But that would be a shame, as you’d be missing out on at least four major dining
adventures. Norwegian were the first mainstream line to deconstruct the traditional cruise. They called it Freestyle, as it did away with typical fixed, two-seating dining and introduced a flexible approach, with multiple-choice ‘anytime’ options. And, on Norwegian Epic, they have taken Freestyle to a dramatic new level. Here, you can take your pick from the authentic Italian cuisine of La Cucina ($10/person); the stylish steakhouse of Cagney’s ($25); the extravagant South American churrascaria of Moderno ($20); chic contemporary French choice Le Bistro, a Norwegian signature element since 1979 ($20); exquisite Asian dining at Shanghai ($15); the entertainment cuisine of Teppanyaki ($25); and the totally novel dinner-show option of the Spiegel Tent, where the stunning Cirque Dreams show is performed while you eat ($20-$30).
