Big news, Norwegian Cruise Line's newest ship, Norwegian Epic, was put in the water for the first time on July 11th, 2009. Now I know I'm going to get a bunch of comments that say things like "That ship is SO ugly!" and "Just another ugly ship in a long line of ugly ships." But I think Epic and all NCL ships, are very good looking. I think why everyone thinks they are so ugly is they just aren't very traditonal looking. They are more retro and perhaps people don't really like this style. I also like the Freestyle concept NCL follows. I've cruised on NCL, Carnival, and Royal Caribbean and NCl is by far my favourite. I plan to take my next cruise with them. Here are some pictures of the new ship. You've heard my opinon on Epic and now I'd love to here yours. Perhaps instead of just saying if you think the ship is ugly or not maybe say why you think they are ugly or not. This might make for a more intresting discussion.
