So this was our first ever cruise and what a great introduction, I can recommend the Norwegian Epic for families and couples. I was travelling with my wife and 12 year old son.
First impressions are the enormous size of the ship, its impressive. The water slides add further interest to the ship. Check in was busy but smooth running and we quickly got our luggage handed over and our key cards.
We weren't allowed on the ship until 11.30AM a bit of a pain as we had landed at 9AM and were tired from the travelling. Once on the ship we explored it and had lunch in the buffet garden restaurant, unfortunately we could not get into the cabin until 2.30PM and luggage arrived about 1 hour later.
