Too many required reservations, too stressful, this is vacation and reservations should not be required! As soon as we got to our cabin we tried to setup reservations for shows that should be "first come, first serve", all the shows were full, we had to ask the Conceirge to book everything, which was only available to Lattitude members. Then when you get to the show there are "gatekeepers" supervising whether you had a reservation or not requiring your room key from all passengers not just one from the couple! They built the ship with less Show seats so even offering two shows a night they couldn't accommodate show goers! Recommendation: Same show 2 nights each for everyone's convenience, not the Ship's convenience, cut out Reservations!
Many passengers complained about the stress of being on a schedule! We are on VACATION, have a "freestyle" atmosphere, don't talk about being "freestyle", be "freestyle"! A Cruise-Vacation should be relaxing and shows, restaurant's, tenders, etc. Should just be available NOT REQUIRED RESERVATIONS!
Other people we have talked to, not even on our specific Cruise, will not sail on the EPIC again due to the stress of Reservations required!
Fair, did not like new NCL configuration , felt smaller than other NCL Balcony rooms!
We know Rome from previous Cruises, enjoying seeing on our own!
