A little bit about me: I sailed on the Epic with my husband, sister and brother-in-law. The four of us range in age from 28 - 41 with no children. This is the fourth cruise I've been on with Norwegian, I've also sailed on Royal Caribbean.

I'll start with the bad:

#1 SHIP EXCURSIONS - We were FURIOUS about the excursions through the Ship. I've never experienced anything like it. We did the St. Johns Trunk Bay & Snorkel Excursion. We spent more time on the ferry getting there and back than we did on the beach. We got to the beach at 10:15 AM and had to leave at 11:45 AM. We were SHOCKED and felt completely ripped off. DO NOT TAKE THIS EXCURSION. The other excursion booked through the ship was the Atlantis Aquapark Adventure. We probably should have seen this coming, but the Aquapark was packed, there was no where to sit, we only had a half a day and it took us forever to get there, stood in line forever for a locker, and then waited in lines forever to get on any of the slides; which honestly were not that great compared to water parks I've been to at home. Atlantis in general seemed kind of dumpy for such an expensive resort. We only had 3 ports of call and I was really hoping to make the most of them, and we did at St Marin (we booked our excursion outside the ship and it was fantastic!), but the other two days were a real bummer.
