Do'nt like the construction of the Epic. Viewing the exterior it needs some imagination to recognize the traditional ship shape. Seems as in the beginning there was a ship and afterwards strange constructions were built upon it.
Neither like the open decks, confusing, chaotic ... no style.
The interior design seems as ten different designers made each there own thing; some were nice, some were not, so many styles mixed together makes this ship has no soul.
+ spacious. excellent bed, large shower, separate toilet, nice design, large balcony
- irritating noises, tv not working for 3 days, small table on balcony
A little bit our second home ... one of the nicest and most attractive cities in Spain.
Funchal is great but do'nt forget it's a lot "up and down" .
Have a coffee or a glass of Portugal wine on "The Ritz" terrace and enjoy the atmosphere of another Champs Elysées.
Also great for shopping !
3rd time we came here and it remains one of our favorites.
Santa Cruz is a nice city worth visiting !
Were here before, no great things to see,on a sunny day just stroll around on the long sea promenade or go swimming.
Good walking trail to the center.
Make an island tour is much more interesting than Arrecife city.
The Medina is short way from the ship.
Take city shuttle (cheaper than NCL) or just walk 15 minutes to Ramblas.
As for many cities best to be discovered when walking.
