I had read the mixed reviews on the NCL Epic and had mixed experiences on our other 3 NCL cruises so was prepared for anything. We were amazed every day at how much we loved the ship, the food, her crew, the pool and slides, the entertainment and all of the little extras we experienced during our vacation.
The Epic is awe inspiring as you view her from the port of Miami. Once aboard we were a bit overwhelmed wondering if we would ever figure out the layout of the ship or if we would be lost over the course of our entire vacation. She is actually very easy to figure out and we quickly became pros as finding our way around.
We had inside cabins and were quite comfortable. The layout with the separate shower and bathroom near the cabin door and each with its frosted glass sliding doors is a bit odd but didn't pose any real issues. The sink in the vanity of the actual bedroom area is also a bit odd but again, didn't pose any issues. The bed was extremely comfortable and we did not find it to be short in any way. My Husband is 6'4" and had no issue with the length of the bed. We slept soundly every night.
