Europe (2) - Cruise on Norwegian Epic

We were so excited to cruise again!

Our stateroom was comfortable.  It had a balcony which is just about all that I need!  There was plenty of storage which was super helpful.  It was a good room to be in.
Norwegian sent some little goodies to congratulate us on 20 years!
There were several neat circus murals near the entertainment area that I really liked.
We didn't spend too much time out at the pool, but it was a nice area.  How fun to have 3 different slides!
There was a Beatles cover band onboard!  We went to their show in the big theater which was lots of fun.  Everyone was singing along and having a great time.
The ship has a Cavern Club in it which was really cool too.  The cover band played here a couple of times during the week, so we enjoyed watching them.  One evening they played the earlier Beatles music and another night they played later music of theirs.  It was a lot of fun.

We went to a Harry Potter trivia game one afternoon.  There were 20 questions, and the winner got 19 of them correct.  We got 17, so not too bad!  There was also a singer from The Netherlands.  She performed in the big theater one evening, and then we went to her smaller show at one of the clubs later in the week.  She was amazing!  She did a lot of Broadway and opera which was right up our alley.  
An illusionist named Daniel Ka from Spain performed in the big theater one evening.  I always love these kinds of shows!
There was no shortage of entertainment, especially in the evenings.  There was a singer from Portugal whose name I can't remember, and we didn't take a picture of.  He was pretty good though, so we enjoyed listening to him.

Of course, cruises are known for their food.  There were many good choices to consider!
We only went to the main dining room our first night onboard.  We enjoyed it but we really wanted to try some of the other speciality items onboard.  We had one evening at a Brazilian churrasco that was really good; we both especially loved some of the lamb they brought by.  We loved the Italian restaurant so much that we decided to go back a second night.  The spaghetti carbonara was one of the best we've ever had!  We enjoyed a noodle and chicken dinner at a Sichuan restaurant.  We ate a quick dinner at an Irish pub one night, and of course, one evening we tried room service.
This arugula salad had a simple lemon oil dressing on it and lots of parmesan; it was so good.
The spaghetti carbonara was outstanding!
Some of the fun desserts we enjoyed along the way.



Ready to set sail!
