Comfortably sleeps 2 adults and 2 children (one bunk bed is stored in the ceiling). The separate toilet, shower and sink can take a bit of issue but the curtain gives you some element of privacy.

Lots of storage. Store your suitcases under the bed (lift bed if required)...we fit 3 large suitcase and 2 smaller ones comfortably.

We found the cabin location perfect as the kids club, elevators were steps away and the main restaurant (Garden Cafe), pools, water slides etc were on Deck 15 so never had to wait for an elevator

We booked "Barcelona's Best" with NCL...worst experience ever. The tour is over-priced and had the worst tour guide imaginable. You have to be ready by 7AM and then you are drive to a Pearl "museum"...essentially a jewellery shop trying to sell you pearl jewellery...you wait there 45-60 minutes and then you go to the the Sagrada Familia...a quick sprint inside to see the stained glass and then you are LEFT ON YOUR OWN for 45 minutes. Hop back on the bus and go to the Latin Quarter and once again YOU ARE LEFT ON YOUR OWN for 2 hours. Then back on the bus to a "Spanish Village" read GIANT TOURIST TRAP where ...wait for it...YOU ARE LEFT ON YOUR OWN for 2 hours. Back on the bus to the ship...we did not even stop for a picture at Montjuic! For $120 per person I was hoping for a guided tour of each of these areas...if I wanted to be left on my own I could have take a taxi from the cruise terminal and saved a lot of money. TOTAL RIP OFF and I hope NCL will take note of this.

We were very worried after our terrible experience in Barcelona as we had booked this one with NCL as well...it was not cheap (around $110 per adult and $80 per child) but in one word it was EXCELLENT. Massimo our guide was knowledgable, entertaining (great sense of humor) and very patient...he was ready to answer all questions and gave us great insights into Pompeii as well Naples, Mt. Vesuvius and basic trivia. Excellent tour and would Highly recommend. Try to take the morning option as that way you are back at the ship by 1Pm and it leaves the rest of the day free for you.

We actually rented a car and went to Florence and Pisa...it is an easy drive and the rental cars companies (Hertz, Avis) are right where the cruise ship docks...very convenient. Take the GPS they offer as it is pre-programmed to the assigned parking garages (very important as parking can be a nuisance in Florence) so it is hassle free.

Florence (Livorno)

You use the tenders which is very well organised

Cannes

Marseille

We had stayed a few days in Rome prior to the cruise.

Rome (Civitavecchia)

We had some issues with the shower in the cabin (flooding) and laundry (ruined a shirt) but that did not detract from us having a great time.our family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids aged 10 and 9) chose NCL's Epic for our first cruise ever.
