Just came back from the February 12th sailing on the Epic. (Note: this was our 1st cruise on NCL Freestyle).
The GOOD:
The ship was gorgeous, lay out was a little different than those of Carnival and Royal Carribean. Never had a problem making reservations or "dropping in" on a dining room without prior reservation. We did make reservations for Cirque, LaCucina, and Cagney's prior to the cruise; also reserved sitting for Blue Man Group, and Second City Players. We also frequented O'Sheehan's for lunch and late night wings. Buffet was always VERY good, breakfast,lunch, & dinner selections were always the same,but they did vary the Specialties area and at dinner the carved meat station did change daily. Don't miss the Crepe's station for dessert !
We were prepared for a shoe box size cabin, so we weren't surprised ! Separating the shower from the toilet wasn't as bad as some previous passengers let on. But the sink inside the room was the size of small shoe box ! Lighting in the room and space for the ladies to put on makeup was INADEQUATE ...hitting your head on the elevated refrigerator is no fun... Seemed to be adequate storage for 3 large suitcases and plenty of shelving/drawers. Bedding was very comfortable.
