Cool as Ice on the Epic
Fancy a really cool experience and something completely different???? Then the NCL epic maybe the ship for you. Inspired by the ice hotels in Scandinavia they have the Svedka Ice Bar onboard. The Ice bar is one of only 14 in the world and the only true ice bar at sea. The temperature in the bar will be a chilly 17 degrees , but don’t worry they don’t expect you to go in there in your shorts and flip flops they kit you out in duffle coats and gloves so you actually look like little Eskimos. Once inside the atmosphere is fantastic and literally everything is made from ice the stools, walls, table, and bar.
You even get your drink in a glass made of ice. There are life-sized sculptures made of ice too so you can have your picture taken and show your friends how you cooled off on your Caribbean cruise holiday. The bar isn’t free to enter its approx $20 but this will include two signature cocktails, and there is lots of vodka on offer to so you can warm up pretty quickly. There will also be a time limit on your stay, which is a good thing as the last thing you want is frostbite on your jollies.
My family and I haven’t been on the Epic , but we have been to an Ice bar in Egypt. It was absolutely brilliant and something really different. My four year old wasn’t massively impressed as you can see by his face below.
So if you are going on the Epic give the Ice bar a try , I really recommend it , it’s great fun.
