This week has produced some speculation regarding Norwegian Epic’s bookings. The vessel is hosting the annual CruiseOne/Cruises Inc. National Convention, with some 800 cruise representatives from travel agencies onboard Norwegian’s newest ship.

With a double-occupancy capacity of 4,200 passengers, having 800 travel agents onboard represents a significant portion of cabins that were not sold at a traditional rate.

And that leads to the question regarding the other passengers onboard, who may be feeling a little overwhelmed by the large group.

The convention is also featuring various panel discussions and roundtables, taking up public space areas on the vessel.
