In my last blog, the US market voted the NCL Epic as having the best entertainment onboard. But in the UK, who came first? Well, here at www.cruise.co.uk we had our passengers’ rate who they thought had the best entertainment onboard. The Independence of the Seas came in at number eight 12 months ago and now has gone all the way to number 1. P & Os’ Arcadia came in a very close second which is a new entry in this category. In fact, the NCL Epic did not have a place in the TOP 10!!!! What a contrast between the US market and the UK market!!!
This is what the NCL Epic has to offer, “The 4,100-passenger Epic -- Norwegian's largest ship ever -- is the first cruise ship to boast a performance by that icon of the Las Vegas Strip, the Blue Man Group (appearing eight times a sailing in the ship's 685-seat Epic Theatre). Epic also is home to Cirque Dreams & Dinner, a circus-themed extravaganza featuring dazzling aerialists, acrobats and contortionists performing around and above passengers (tickets, $20 to $30 a person). The show takes place in a specially built, tent-shaped theatre billed as the first "big top" at sea.” How did the voting pan out? “Nearly 10,000 of you voted in our online poll in which we asked which ship you find the most appealing for entertainment, and 50% of you cast your lot with the seven-month-old Epic. Another 42% voted for Royal Caribbean's much-ballyhooed, one-month-old Allure of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship. The remainder voted for Disney Cruise Line's new Disney Dream.”
