We sailed the Jewel prior to the Epic, altough we loved the Epic- the FOOD- outstanding( we ate at 6 different restaurants) - we did decide for us - we liked the intimacy/closeness of the Jewel/Sun class ships. We love NCL and the Freestyle and we booked while on board the 15-day Panama Canal cruise with the Cruise Next promotion on the Sun. The staff were awesome.!! For sure once again, NCL slam dunked an awesome cruise for us. We had 7 cabins for our family and everyone had a blast. I'm ready to organize another one on NCL ! Having to leave was a sad day. None of us were ready. What I would love to see is the photography option to prepay on line prior to the cruise include the flash drive too. I assumed it would be, so I ordered prior to departure. This should be a perk to get more people to purchase ahead of time. Something to highly consider
