My wife and I have always wanted to go on the Epic. The Epic was my 24th cruise and 13th with NCL. We do always enjoy cruising no matter who we sail with. Just being honest The Epic needs to redesign the beds. If you're taller than 5ft 8 your feet may hang off the bed. The Epic seems to have a better lay out on the pool deck than other large NCL ships. Not as crowded. The food was good, The garden café on the Epic is the best layout of all the NCL ships we have been on. Many different stations to get your food. We ate at 4 of the special restaurants. The circus show was the highlight and we would do that show again. Comedy club is too small, The art auctions had plenty of room a plus for them. The ports, we have been to them all so can't comment of that. The casino is hard to get a drink at. NCL needs to hire more staff for that section. The service overall was great. The Ice bar is bigger on this ship than on the Getaway.
