Posting this review on behalf of my parents :)
My wife and I have been on 5 cruises - second on the Epic, fourth on NCL. We sailed to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. In each port, we did a different excursion, which I will talk about below. The food was great - we had the dining package, so we went to Teppanyaki twice (Joshua the chef was amazing), Cagneys twice, Moderno and La Cuicina. We also dined in the main dining room once for lunch and mainly did the buffet for breakfasts - they even cooked my eggs through the way that I like them! As for our cabin, we had a balcony on deck 8 aft - 8196. We were right near the stairs and elevators - we could literally walk down the hall, down the stairs and we right at Cagneys! We did the Cirque show, blue man group, and tons of other entertainment, all were great. We found it kind of hard to find a chair close to the pool - but we eventually found some if you went a bit further away. Our room steward Ferdinand was fantastic tending to all of our needs. Overall the staff on board were really friendly.
We met some great people and had a great time on the Epic!
Great location - close to the stairs and elevators. Not too far to go up and down. Bed was closer to the door than the balcony.
