Norwegian Epic is reported to feature several innovative design features. In September 2008 dispute over the price of the first F3 vessel (at the time approximately 25% complete) arose between Norwegian Cruise Line and STX France. Reportedly the sale of 50% of NCL to Apollo Management in August 2007 resulted in Apollo making several changes to the designs, resulting in higher cost for the first vessel. It was reported that the construction of the second ship was unaffected by the dispute, but ultimately it was announced that the first ship will be completed and the construction of the second ship will be canceled. The sea trial of Norwegian Epic occurred over four days beginning on February 10, 2010. During the sea trials, 300 technicians and engineers from Aker Yards France, along with 30 Norwegian Cruise Line representatives, checked more than 60 aspects of the ship's performance by running trials of the ship's speed, maneuverability, Norwegian Epic (wallpaper 4).

A second round of sea trials was conducted on June 11, 2010, which finalized all the aspects of the ship. In early May 2010, a fire broke out in a provisioning area aft on Deck 4; firefighters were able to contain the fire before it spread, with the only damage to an area of cabling. The conditions were found to be suspicious (there was no welding or other 'hot' work in the area, and the extinguishing system was non-operational), and the event was investigated by Saint-Nazaire police as an arson attack. Despite the damage, Norwegian Epic was delivered on time. The ship has an Aqua Park with three multi-story water slides, two main pools, five hot tubs, a wading pool and a kid’s pool featuring water sprays and a slide. The park also has the Epic Plunge, a thrilling drop through a 200ft-long tube. The Entourage lounge provides entertainment for teenagers. During the day teens have access to PlayStation3 consoles, pinball, table football, a video jukebox and nine flat-screen televisions. At night, Entourage transforms into a teens-only nightclub. The ship also includes a kid’s play area comprising a light-up dance floor, Wii and PlayStation3 gaming areas and a private karaoke performance stage that doubles as a state-of-the-art surround sound cinema.

Norwegian Epic (wallpaper 1). Norwegian Epic cruise ship images wallpaper gallery 1. Norwegian Epic cruise ship photos, pictures and images collection 1. Norwegian Epic, also known under the project name F3, is the third largest cruise ship in the world, owned by the Norwegian Cruise Line and built by STX Europe (previously Aker Yards) Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. Two ships in this class were ordered by NCL in November 2006, with an option for a third vessel that was not exercised. A dispute between NCL and STX initially resulted in the construction of both ships being placed on hold until a new agreement was reached in which the first ship will be completed and the construction of the second ship was cancelled. Delivery of the sole remaining ship was scheduled for June 2010. Norwegian Epic was delivered to NCL on June 17, 2010. She set sail on her Maiden Voyage on Thursday June 24, 2010 from Southampton to New York and arrived on July 1. Norwegian Epic (wallpaper 1). Norwegian Epic cruise ship images wallpaper gallery 1.
