My friend and I sailed last week on the Norwegian Epic. We both had Studio Staterooms and I continue to believe they are brilliant. There is plenty of room for one person and the Studio Living Room is a great meeting place to catch up with other solos or grab a cup of freshly brewed coffee. I only hope that more cruise lines add solo rooms to their ships.

Overall, the Epic is a good ship and it's big. Embarkation was not bad at all. We arrived at the port about 12:00pm and were on the ship by 1:00pm. There are two terminals for the Epic which makes the process fairly quick. We opted for early walk-off disembarkation and with the exception of a small elevator wait had no troubles at all.

We both opted for the UDP and had dinner in a specialty restaurant every night. Our favorite was Cagney's and Teppanyaki. Next in line would have been La Cucina and Le Bistro. Unlike other guests we met during the week, Moderno wasn't our favorite. The wait staff paid no attention to the color cards and were constantly interrupting to see if we wanted more. This was with our color card showing red and our plates quite full. The steak was not as good as we experienced in Cagney's. Read more
