My wife and i decided on this cruise for my 50th birthday. embarkation was quite easy and had been made aware before hand our suit cases would not be delivered to our room for a few hours so had a carry on bag with suitable cloths for the first day so was not an issue. the staff were excellent at all times and were always willing to help you out. the room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable, the shows also were excellent and the food was also very good. We went on 4 shore excursions and these were very well organised. it is possible to organise your own cheaper, but i liked the fact that we were in a group with an experienced guide and if an issue arose with our transport that the ship would still wait for us as we booked with the cruse ship. disembarkation was simple and you could walk off the ship if you were willing to carry your own cases. you could check your credit card statement on the tv screen in your room to make sure you were being billed correctly. (if you purchased in the shop or casino or excursions, photo's wifi etc ) . also as we had an interior cabin you could turn on the tv when you wake up in the morning. there was a live camera feed from the bridge and you could see the weather outside and decide what to wear before you leave the cabin.
one tip i would give anyone going on the epic is that the stairs and lifts are colour coded. on one side of the ship are red stairs and red lifts while on the other side have blue stairs and blue lifts. if you want to go back to your room and get n the wrong colour lift you will come out on the wrong side of the ship above where your room is. this can confuse you a bit but after the first day you will undertand it quite easy. i would have to say the staff were excellent and were always willing to help you. on the excursions the bus had free water for us and when we got off the bus to board the ship the staff were there waiting for us with a glass of cool water and fresh facecloths for our faces. even on the second last day the staff were waiting for us with a guard of hour dancing to music here we had to go through the middle of them and do your own efforts of a dance to big applause . excellent trip .AAAAAA
inside cabin. yes it is small but was very clean with comfortable bed. fresh towels every day . plenty room and not a lot of time sent in the room to matter. would rather keep the extra money saved from a balcony room and spend on excusions instead. seperate toilet and shower room.
Got off at the port. lovely little ton with beach and promanade for a walk, a drink or an ice cream,
