The two weeks on Norwegian Epic passed quickly by, perhaps because of how enjoyable the cruise was. Attentive service by a friendly and dedicated crew, a clean and fresh ship, and an amazing itinerary added to the enjoyment of the cruise. If I had to mention one aspect of the cruise that I know is on the list to be updated, it’s the lighting in the non-Haven staterooms. I definitely appreciate the low lights for a sleeping area, and the reading lights on both sides of the bed were useful. Norwegian Epic innovations started when it was first launched and many have been added to the newer ships in the Norwegian fleet.
Public Areas and Watering Holes
On big ships like Norwegian Encore, you’ll find a Broadway-style production and other shows performed throughout your cruise. If you have photos taken of you when on board this will be linked to your cruise card and you’ll be able to see them when you get to the photo gallery. The Whiskey Bar is located by the cigar lounge and you can also step out onto the waterfront promenade deck. On deck 8 you’ll find Cellars, a wine bar with hundreds of wines to choose from. Use this time together on board Norwegian Cruise Line to capture professional photos of you and your crew. Cruising brings everyone together and brings out those big vacation smiles, so why not capture the moment?
Atrium Bar – Deck 6
They are extremely beautiful and you can’t walk through a space that has one without noticing it. When you sail with Norwegian Cruise Line, you are cruising on the most innovative and accommodating fleet on the high seas. Our award-winning fleet was built for Freestyle, designed to give you freedom and flexibility. Choose your ship, choose your destination and step on board for the perfect vacation. Even without finishing touches such as tableclothes and tableware, it had an elegant ambiance.
Norwegian Breakaway
Q Texas Smokehouse is a speciality BBQ restaurant onboard Norwegian Encore. Many people walk through the casino to get to other areas of the ship as it has a central location, for this reason, I’m glad that smoking is confined to a smoking room. The local overlooks the atrium and has a bar too, many people sit here to watch sporting events which are shown on the big screen. That said, that’s the price you have to pay to see popular shows like Kinky Boots or The Choir of Man. Due to the size of the ship, the shows are repeated on multiple nights.
The District Brewhouse – Deck 8
In fact, these two bars are so popular that finding a seat during performance times may be impossible. Other specialty restaurants include Cagney’s, La Cucina, Le Bistro, Moderno Churrascaria, Teppanyaki, Yakitori and Sushi. Except for Moderno and Teppanyaki, which currently charge $39, the specialty restaurants are à la carte.

During non-COVID times, a host plans activities and events. A whiteboard serves as a message board for self-initiated activities or for requests for joining in meals, shore excursions, shows, or other onboard activities. Taken down to the steel, The Haven transformed into a light, contemporary space that exudes luxury throughout. Elsewhere throughout the ship, many carpets were replaced, including in the stateroom hallways. Take a look at the new fish design leading the way to the front of the ship.
All furniture and fabrics have been replaced to create a space that is both welcoming and luxurious. Even table settings and linens have been replaced and the staterooms have also been updated. Norwegian’s famous fish carpet helps guests navigate the stateroom hallways. Fish swim forward, so getting your bearings is simple enough.
Enjoy a night of gastronomic proportions at one of our many specialty restaurants. Sip your favorite cocktail as you select from choice cuts of Angus beef at Cagney’s Steakhouse. Enjoy delicious pasta made with the freshest ingredients inside our rustic and chic Italian eatery, La Cucina. No matter what you choose, our specialty dining options feature the tastes you’ll crave. Norwegian Dawn offers the ultimate freedom and flexibility for your cruise vacation.
The Haven includes a variety of staterooms within the actual keycard-access-only area, along with some staterooms outside of this enclosed compound. Recently updated, The Haven’s contemporary look is fresh and soothing. Curvaceous staterooms are the norm for the inside and balcony categories. There are elevators fore and aft, but no middle elevators.

Drop by The Cellars, a Michael Mondavi Family Wine Bar for a wine tasting. Or take Lady Luck for a spin in the expansive Dawn Casino. Offering a wide range of spacious accommodations, there are staterooms to fit every family size and budget.
A Norwegian executive at Friday's event said there were more than 3,000 shipyard workers working on the vessel as we visited. Among the venues from earlier Norwegian ships that are making a comeback is Cagney's, the line's signature steakhouse, and French eatery Le Bistro. In both of the latter cases, though, the restaurants have striking new contemporary interior designs (see below). Perhaps most notably, Norwegian Prima feels more spacious than many of Norwegian's 17 existing vessels. It also has a higher crew-to-passenger ratio than many Norwegian ships. Headliners Comedy Club has been a popular lounge on other Norwegian Cruise Line ships, and past cruisers are happy to find this venue on the Norwegian Escape.
As you can see below, finishing work continues for the venues in the Indulge Food Hall. TPG didn't get to see the latter three eateries during our tour on Friday. Both measures are often used as shorthand for the luxury level and service level of a ship. As the largest fitness center in the fleet, the size of Pulse along with plenty of equipment lessens the chances of having to wait for a certain machine or weight. SWIFT Delivery on Demand is a new concept and is available 24/7 and brings cocktails, wine, beer, soda, and snacks to your room. The Studios are located in the middle of the ship and take up two floors.
Guests choose from colorful insulated hooded capes (no evidence of the original silver capes) and spend as long as they can tolerate in an icy bar. There are several decks for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying the hot tubs. On the 18th deck, there is a quiet area for relaxing and enjoying the fresh sea air. Deck 15 is the place to be to enjoy pools, slides, and the rock climbing wall. Late in the evening, the venue holds themed parties and dancing. It is the only bar open to all guests that serves the Sail and Sustain cocktail, a special concoction created to use some of the usually discarded parts of food on the ship.
Experience a once-in-a-lifetime moment you will never forget whilst witnessing the icy-blue glaciers and unique wildlife of Alaska. Walk through Greece's enchanting, sun-bleached streets, or find your own paradise in a secret beach in The Caribbean. Our award-winning ships are designed for you to enjoy as you choose whilst cruising to the most beautiful destinations around the world. No matter where your dream holiday takes you, feel free to cruise your way.
The ship features an unusual, three-deck-high main theater that will be able to transform into four different configurations for performances, thanks to movable seating platforms. In one configuration, the seating will disappear entirely to allow the space to turn into a Las Vegas-style nightclub called the Prima Club. The Penrose Atrium offers central access to more than a dozen restaurants, bars and entertainment venues that spread across the three floors to which it connects (decks 6, 7 and 8). Within the atrium itself, you'll find several venues for food and drink including a Starbucks coffee shop, a whiskey bar and the Penrose Bar — the latter featuring video poker machines.
