Not nearly as nice as the Jewel.See my review.  Read entire member review.

The courtyard villa we stayed in had a master bedroom with an oval tub and a shower with a floor to ceiling window (shade included!)the light in the commode was motion switched, A vanity, a very comfortable bed and plenty of storage space for all our clothes and essentials. The living room was spacious and the sofa converted into an extra bed if needed. I didn't find it too comfortable until I propped some extra pillows behind me. The dining area even included an espresso machine that wasn't functioning when we tried to use it the 2Nd day. But before I could voice a complaint, they were replacing it with a working one. there is also a 2Nd bedroom with its own bathroom, sufficient for a couple of kids or an extra adult. I can't think of any day we didn't find a plate of goodies in our cabin with the compliments of one of the officers that manage the ship, not to mention the champagne in our room on the first day!This was our fourth cruise with NCL, but our first time traveling first class. We normally get a cabin with a balcony because after we tried it we prefer it over just a cabin with a view. It is great to sit out and enjoy a drink and a bite to eat almost any time of the day or night. But when we decided to book on the Epic, we wanted to experience a cruise with all the trimmings,so we upgraded to a courtyard villa and our venture did all that and some!  Read entire member review.

Perfect layout for a family of 5, but a bit noisy from sundeck above.  Read entire member review.

17012 was a good location, but in the morning when they were setting up for the day, when we were traveling at a high rate of speed or it was really windy you could hear the movement of chairs (or something like that) on the deck above us. It was not so much as to wake you out of a dead sleep, but enough to keep you up if you were on the verge of waking up.  Read entire member review.

In the main bedroom there was a lot of noise from the ceiling for some reason. It wasn't in any other part of the cabin and we didn't bring it up to anyone as it wasn't a huge deal but just be aware.  Read entire member review.
