Pleased to report the NCL Epic is still my favorite NCL ship. The refurb looks great. This was my fourth Epic TA cruise, sailing in Haven - 16016, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath suite. This was a 13-night trip. I was traveling solo with a roommate, and part of a larger group of friends.

Embarcation in Barcelona was a breeze. Disembarcation in Port Canaveral was disorganized and chaotic. Even the port ride\bus pickup area was a crap shoot of disorder.

The suite was very comfortable with room to spare. The balcony was compatible to other cabins on the ship - with 2 chairs and a small table. Haven offers a room steward, a room butler, and a concierge. All were pleasant, attentive, and approachable. The Epic Haven excels from the other NCL Haven spaces. Epic offers a large and proper cocktail lounge, a large dining room, a casual snake area and bar, a wonderful gym, sauna and stream room area. There are 2 hot tubes and a pool If you never want to leave Epic Haven, you would be in a good place. Read more
