If you are thinking of taking a family trip, and the time you spend on board is really important to you, because the ship is one of the issues that make the difference, Let me recommend a cruise aboard Norwegian Epic.
This ship is one of the most modern of the Norwegian Cruise Line company, it will make routes through the Mediterranean from next April. Every 7 days this ship leaves the port of Barcelona and reaches cities such as Naples, Rome, Florence, Pisa, Cannes and Palma de Mallorca.
If I recommend this boat for a family cruise, it is because Norwegian Cruise Line company has developed a complete program of activities especially for babies, children, adolescents and young people up to 17 years of age.
- Guppies, is the space for babies, every day they have two hours of fun of nursery rhymes, crafts and different toys.
- Splash Academy, for the little ones between 3 and 12 years old, with games and team sports, themed parties and creative tasks.
- Teens have their place in Encourage, with a movie theater, an afternoon disco, parties, video games and theater workshops.
This does not mean that adults and children can enjoy the water slides, including the Epic Plunge, 61 meters long ... I personally do not see myself able to enjoy it, but I am able to enjoy the other entertainment proposals. In fact The Norwegian Epic ship has been awarded the Frommer's Best Cruise Entertainment award, on it you can see two Broadway shows: Ballroom Blitz and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. You can get more idea of ​​the quality shows that you will find on board by reading here. All this in terms of entertainment, which is essential if you are going to spend many hours at sea.
But also to travel with the family this boat offers different types of accommodation, in double and triple cabins. And to satisfy the tastes of the whole family there are more than 20 different menu proposals in two main dining rooms, self-service buffet, bars, cafes, grills and food options on the go.
If you want me to give you some technical data, I'll tell you that Norwegian Epic sailed for the first time on Thursday 24 June 2010 from Southampton to New York and when its capacity is full it is capable of carrying 4.100 cruise passengers on board, plus 1.753 crew members.
