Norwegian Epic Review

Additional details
My husband, my two teenage boys, and I just returned from our first cruise, a seven day Mediterranean cruise on the NCL Epic. We had a wonderful, wonderful time.
We arrived in Barcelona a day before the cruise. We took the Aerobus for 5,65 Euros to Plaza Catalunya. This could not have been easier. We then walked the four blocks to the Acta Atrium Palace in Barcelona. I was worried that we would be targeted as tourist with our luggage, but every other person there was toting a suitcase.
We left the hotel for the pier at 11:30am the next day. The taxi for four people and four suitcases was 21,94 euros before tip. The ride took maybe fifteen minutes. When we arrived at the pier, I saw the massive Epic and wondered what we had gotten into. The taxi dropped us off, we walked maybe 50 feet, and a porter took our bags. We used the luggage tags that were sent to us in the mail, so we just dropped the luggage off.
Cabin Review
Family Balcony
We enjoyed our cabin because it was easy to go up one flight of stairs to the buffet and to the pool. We took the stairs down most of the time, but it is a long way from deck 5 to deck 14. The door between this room and 14079 does not stay open. It is very heavy and is difficult to prop open even with a suitcase. It must be a fire door. NCL would not unlock the partitions between the balconies, so do not count on this. The bathroom did not bother us. The bed was comfortable. You get used to moving around the smaller cabin. I thought it was cozy.
