Norwegian Epic Review
Rating by category
Additional details
My husband and I just returned from a 7 night Caribbean cruise aboard the Norwegian Epic, and it was fantastic. As this was our first cruise we were really not sure what to expect. I had read some reviews here and was a bit concerned, but our travel agent assured us we would be happy with our choice, and she was right.
Embarkation was a breeze. Our carry-on bags were quickly scanned, and the registration process and production of our pass cards went flawlessly. We made our way up to the holding area, received our group number for entering the ship and sat and relaxed for about 30 minutes.
Once on the ship, we wanted to drop off our carry-on bags in our room instead of storing them with everyone else’s. We easily found our cabin, which was in the process of being cleaned, and the individual doing the cleaning was very accommodating and allowed us to put our carry-on bags in a closet out of his way.
Cabin Review
Mid-Ship Balcony
We opted for a balcony and were so happy we did. We were surprised by the amount of room there was on the balcony itself; and even though it did not have a “roof,” we enjoyed every minute of it. In fact, the lack of a “roof” allowed us to carry on conversations with travellers in the rooms above us when we were outside and we met some really nice people. The room itself was great. We had no problem finding room for all our clothing along with our luggage; I would say we only used about 50% of the storage that was available. The bathroom set up worked really well for us. It was great that I could be using the sink at the same time my husband was showering and we were not in each other’s way. The layout was a non-issue for us.All in all, we thought the room was fantastic.
