Norwegian Epic Review

Additional details
Dec 2015 we took a 10 day cruise on the Norwegian Epic. My previous experience was on the Cost Concordia (before it sank) so this would be my comparison.
I did have a good time and would possibly return again, there will never be a perfect trip. The 10 days meant that we had some days at sea and it was more relaxing because there was not the hassle of getting up early and going ashore.
First impression of Norwegian Cruise company, From booking there was a general lack of information, we ordered a balcony with the drinks and gratuities package, to date I still do not have a breakdown of what the packages cost on top of the price. We sailed from Barcelona, and as there are about 12 docks in Barcelona I had to email Norwegian to find out which one to embark. Previous experience the taxi took us to the wrong dock.
Cabin Review
Balcony
The cabin was a touch narrow so that two people could not pass between the dressing table and bed, this is probably why they manage to fit 4,100 guest on board. There was no bathroom, the shower and toilet were 2 separate plastic cubicles/ pods at each side of the cabin entrance, I hated the wash basin which was mounted on the end of the dressing table near the base of the bed, it had a tall tap/faucet that leaned in to the basin and made it impossible to wash your face over the basin.
