Norwegian Epic
On the 21st June 2010, Norwegian Epic returned to the Port of Rotterdam after the first inaugural.  NCL love inaugurals, though I think Gem holds the record for two months of them before naming then more.  But the jolly was called inaugural, as was mine, the two night jolly from Southampton, transatlantic then one in New York.  My friend Ben joined me for her arrival.  Dutch media stated 8.20am but the portt had been 8am.  It had rained a little and was a bit miserable even though the forecast said sunny.  Epic rounded the Hook of Holland at 5am and emerged into our view just after 7.05am with a fireboat welcome even though it was her second visit.
