The inaugural voyage of Norwegian Cruise Lines newest addition to their fleet is about to begin over the July 4th holiday. Appropriately, the EPIC will sail from New York after hosting a 'fireworks spectacular' on July 2. It will begin its Caribbean rounds with a 7 day roundtrip, Eastern Caribbean itinerary, from Miami, Florida on July 10, 2010. Incidentaly, I am booked on the July 24th Western Caribbean itinerary. I'll be able to check it out, firsthand!
