Sail Date: Mar 2016
Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony

We felt the Epic was far too large and we missed a promenade for a nice walk. We could never get a seat in the lounges for trivia or game show etc, as there was not enough seating for the amount of passengers on board.We did enjoy the dancing lessons but again there were too many people on the floor so not always comfortable.The Cavern club had too many people packed into a small space to enjoy the great group.It was very uncomfortable & not healthy.We also did not like having to book the shows and felt too regimented. The food in the dining rooms was not good compared to our previous NCL ship or other cruise lines.Also the service was very slow.The food in the buffet was very nice and also the service was good.

The itinerary was wonderful and we enjoyed every stop. Also the two tours we did from the ship were very good.

We loved Burn the Floor show and the dancers from there in the Manhattan.The comedians were good and the Cirque dinner show was excellent. ZUMBA with Martin Massuh was great and just what we needed!

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BA

Our cabin was excellent with lots of storage space. We didn't mind the unusual layout of the shower, toilet & sink. it worked well for us. The 3 drawers were very narrow but not a problem as we used them for smaller items and the many shelves for bigger stuff.It was a very quiet cabin with no outside noise at all.
