Great time on the Norwegian Epic to the Eastern Caribbean

Additional details
Went on the Norwegian Epic on the April 6 sailing -- had a great time, even didn't mind the bathroom setup. It was a lot of fun -- would definitely recommend. I think having sea days made us learn the layout of the ship better. Went with a friend.
Quiet place/ tip -- we were on deck 7 and saw these doors near the stairs going outside on deck so went to check them out-- each time we went outside on the deck it was virtually empty -- starboard side saw a few people playing shuffle board and on the port side is the running track. The outside deck goes most of the length of the ship. Life boats block most of the view - but in the center there is a section without lifeboats you have a great view of the ocean. **Also a good way to get from one end of the ship to the other without having to walk through the casino or shops --
We got a mini suite on the 10th deck, not too far from the elevator on the starboard side. I was amazed at all the storage -- we didn't even use close to all of it. All across the top above the tv is storage -- we had 3 closets. bottom across the tv is all storage. Above the sink -- there are several shelves, the mirror/medicine cabinet opens with more shelving and below the sink there were several drawers including a drawer for dirty towels. There are a few towel hooks along the shower area. Also storage behind the couch (and we learned this on the info channel) -- there are storage bins under the couch. We put our luggage under the beds. The balcony was much bigger then I expected -- compared to Pride of America it seemed wider and deeper. Even next to each bed are small shelves. You can also press the light button on the phone to turn off the screen at night (there is an info channel on the tv that describes info about the cabin). Didn't see many people from the balcony - talked to our nice neighbors a few times- but not many people were out on the balcony around us for most of the cruise

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Would recommend you bring a multi plug/outlet-- as there are only two US plugs under the counter under thr tv and another plug that looks like a European type plug
Also didn't mind the bathroom setup at all -- maybe because we read mixed reviews we were expecting it to be worse. We had a bathtub and I want to warn people who have mobility issues that it's hard to climb in/out -- if that's an issue, make sure you have a shower -- as the bathtub is pretty high to climb over. (I took plenty of pictures -- but will post those later)
Toilet isn't bad either -- both the bathtub and toilet have frosted glass walls that close off and the curtain separates this area with the rest of the cabin. You have plenty of room to move around. No problem with the sink either. Our couch was next to the sink, beds were closer to the balcony which we had requested to be separated.
The rooms seem very quiet/pretty soundproof - never really heard our neighbors and I think once heard some loud people in the hallway late at night.
