On December 18, 2010, ten of us—all family members celebrating a few birthdays—cruised to the Caribbean on the Norwegian Epic.
Having done numerous cruises to date (both as employee and passenger), initially my concern was that the ship would be too big, but the call of the humongous water slides was—for the kids—just too much for us to ignore. Eventually, I began to think, "So what if the ship is too big? We're traveling with family; losing them every once in a while couldn't be a bad thing. Right?"
Well let me fill you in before you make a decision to book a cruise on the Norwegian Epic. This particular ship is not for everyone—at least not if you enjoy your privacy. So you're thinking, "Privacy? On a ship the size of Europe?" And my response? I like to have a private bathroom in my cabin, at the very least!
Read my review. Closet space was good but needed more hangars. Overall space was not bad, but lack of a private bathroom will keep me away forever.
