I would like to preface my review by stating that I love CruiseCritic.com and have used it many times and in many ways. I have come to a conclusion though....some people will complain about anything.
Prior to leaving on this cruise, I looked at the reviews for the Epic and started to get quite depressed about my upcoming trip. The issues/complaints seemed to be overwhelming and sometimes a bit just plain ludicrous. The placement of the sink? Really? Is that "complaint" worthy? So I boarded the ship with some preconceived notions of all that would be bad.
Embarkation-quick, painless, zero-waiting, cabin ready.
Quite location, great balcony, close to elevators. Zero noise from anywhere. More than adequate storage.
