With pre-sales of cabins sfor cruises aboard NCLs new 150,000 gt Epic open, sales are very strong, with the first week's bookings surpassing the first week number for the Gem and the Pearl.

I wonder how many of these early bookers will actually make final payment?

I windered the same thing myself - especially given the economic conditions at present
However, there's clearly a lot of interest out there

It's the novelty factor, I'm sure. It will also be interesting to see how many book a second cruise on the Epic.....what demographic it appeals to.

that is an interesting comment. i was also wondering who would it appeal to most and i can't decide either.

Well, it will be interesting to watch and see, won't it?

smitty · 06-05-2009, 07:14 PM

yes it will

One of the popular bloggers recently commented on the Epic vrs the new RCL ship, the Oasis of the seas. The final conclusion, book one of the existing ships, both of these are way too expensive!

i totally agree with you. plus who wants to sail on a floating office block.

Who wants to sail on a floating circus, along with 5,000 other attendees?
