To give you some idea we are a family of six adults aged 42 to 70 and have all cruised on many ships before including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Thomson and Island Cruises.
The EPIC she this is a large ship but apart from the initial difficulties of navigating our way around you never really felt that is was that big, considering the ship was a full capacity for the entire cruise there was never a feeling of too many passengers. I also must add that contrary to other comments we did not feel any pressure to spend money on food, photo's, shows or anything else. One thing I must add is that this ship was the quietest and smoothest I have ever been on, it was very difficult at times to tell if she was even moving !
Embarkation - Very quick - Suite cases were delivered very speedily for most, Mine however was not and after calling Guest Services twice and speaking to our Cabin Steward twice I still have not received my case by dinner time. On the third occasion of actually going to guest services and asking where my case was I was directed to security who were holding it along with about 40 other cases because it had an iron in it which i removed and they kept until the end of the cruise. Why they couldn't have told me this when I made my first enquiry I have no idea.
Inside cabins appear spacious and well designed, although bathroom and toilet facilities are a little strange and do not offer much privacy
