Norwegian Epic Review
First NCL cruise, probably not the last!

Additional details
This was our fourth cruise, first with NCL, having previously been with Costa and MSC.
Food was far superior with NCL, both the buffet and main dining rooms. Service was on par or better but there were some rude bar tenders that spoilt the atmosphere for others around the pool bar. Continental room service breakfast had very little to choose from and always arrived before time!
We were a little disappointed with the entertainment set up, would have preferred one big show a night but Priscilla was very good.
Cabin Review
Family Mini-Suite with Balcony
Cabin was clean and spacious. M2 family mini suite. I think the term mini suite is misleading as there are zero suite benefits, I think it should be renamed superior or deluxe balcony cabin to avoid confusion. The fourth bed was always lowered when we went to dinner and raised when at breakfast, never had to ask. Plenty of room to get past the fourth bed even for us larger folk! The kids loved a bed in the sky!
