The Epic when you first set eyes on it at the dockside certainly takes your breath away with its size dominating everything else around. It has 15 decks accessible to the majority of cruisers with decks 16 and 17 being specifically earmarked for those in private suites and staterooms.
The entertainment on board was plentiful ranging from theatre and circus entertainment,piano and guitar evenings to the Casino which unfortunately for those who did not smoke was practically out of bounds. The entertainment in general was well performed but whether it was entertaining depended on your own individual likes and dislikes.
The pool deck on deck 15 was the main focus of attention during the day and here there were plenty of deck chairs to cater for everyone. Entertainment on this deck was excellent with 6 Jacuzzis`s and 2 pools. The only downside to the pools however was that neither was long or wide enough to cater for lap swimming - a minor criticism given that the 3 excellent water slides and climbing wall more than made up for this.
Overall the cabin was excellent with plenty of storage space built in although circulation space at the end of the bed was very tight. The only downside was the lack of a washing facility within the toilet closet.
