Norwegian Epic makes its first visit to St. Thomas

Boasting a focus on "Freestyle Cruising" the 4100 passenger Norwegian Epic from Norwegian Cruise Lines is the newest ship in the Caribbean. Some features on the Epic include performances by the Blue Man Group, Ice Bar, a dueling piano bar and a wide selection of night clubs. Want an impressive display of dinner and  a show? The Epic provides a casual dinner experience during their Cirque Dreams and Dinner show which aims to fulfill your mind and stomach.

Enough about the ship, how are travelers going to react the St. Thomas only a few days after a gang shootout took the life of fellow cruiser? I would imagine the usual festivities are going to be shortened and the typical exploration of the island will be kept on the ship. Even though St. Thomas is a great place to visit and sight see, the incident may be too fresh in the mind of most tourist.
