Sail Date: Dec 2012
Cabin: Family Balcony

We arrived in Miami and stayed at the Doubletree Biscayne Bay. It's a short cab ride to the pier. We had a water view and were given an upgrade due to Hilton Club status. The walk to Bayside Centre was perfect for an early morning stretch.

Embarkation in Miami was very easy at 12:30. Their dockworkers are efficient and their cabs know they have to stick to the rules. With five boats in that day, the port didn't seem overwhelmed. We liked the fore and aft embarkation on the Epic. It went smoothly, although we noted the Latitude lines were just as long as the regular lines.

Our cabin was ready and our luggage arrived by 2:30. I find that to be a major stress factor on embarkation day and so appreciated the fast service. We bought a mid-range 6 bottle wine package. We found the sommelier selling them to be helpful. She asked what we'd likely be eating and had two good suggestions for wines we hadn't tried.

Cabin Review

Family Balcony

Famous split Epic bathroom. Pro: good shower size Con: No privacy

The curve in the room looks pretty, but leaves little room to move around furniture.

LOVE the waterproof bin under the sink. It's perfect for dirty laundry! I give it huge bonuses for innovation.
