So, I'm reading all the reviews about the Epic, some positive and some negative.
Don't really get it, so I'll give you my Spin.
First of all we booked a mini suite on deck 13, but a few days before NCL called us an offered us an upgrade to the HAVEN. We received a 2bdr 2bth suite with butler and concierge, worth every penny, and maybe worth the card rate if you can swing it.
location is great if you use the pool. the door to the pool is just steps from the cabin door, but since your door is passed the entrance nobody bothers you, since not many cabins past your cabin door.
Make sure they show you how to use the special lighting panel in the room, i figured it out myself.
Make sure you bring something to play your ipad/ipod/music. I brought a skullcandy tube and good thing i did. Or no music for me, as there is nothing to play any type of music.
Good coffee maker one of those big ones. (expresso, K-kup type)
Portable phone in the room so you can take it on your balcony.
Balcony was basically a standard one the width of the living room. Not bad, comfortable, but not as big as i thought it should be for a 2bdr/2bth suite
