Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Norwegian Epic

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
We took a 16-day cruise on the EPIC. An epic mistake. With no desire to impugn the people of Puerto Rico, the fact that what appeared to be ¾ of the passengers seemed to be from there, led to some of our complaints and culture shock. Here are some of the issues we found with this trip:
• Embarkation was delayed hours due to there having been an outbreak of some illness on the prior cruise. ...

Chose this cruise for the Itinerary, price and perks. Have enjoyed NCL in the past (platinum member) but this cruise was different. The embarkation was a disaster, 21/2 to 3 hours in line, with no communication as to what was going on! And lack of communication was evident at other times during the cruise. The crew was hit and miss on friendliness, and we unfortunately had an outright unfriendly ...

Norwegian simply does not know how to manage a ship with 4,000 passengers.
3 hour wait outside to embark / check in
2 hour delay in disembarking (almost missed flight)
A couple of ports that were just a waste because a ship the size of Epic apparently has to dock far away from more convenient docks.
After the embarkation disaster they made the statement, "We know it was terrible but it ...

Firstly, I need to point out that the reason for this bad review is not so much the fault of NCL or the management & crew of the Norwegian Epic (although they do need to take responsibility for making and enforcing changes) but more my fellow passengers. All the points and remarks I am about to make I have already made while onboard and since by email to NCL so, at future Cruise Critic Meet & ...

We are experienced cruisers and have sailed on several ships and several different lines in the US and Europe. The following is my observation.
Lines. Wait. Crowds. Reservations for a tender?
First the good. The food was as good or better than most ships (once you obtained it).
The entertainment was of a higher quality than most ships (once you got a seat, maybe).
The stewards, ...

I am from Seattle, am 67 years old. I have cruised a lot on other cruise lines and this is the worse one I have been on.
It started out bad before I was even on the ship. I booked two tours though the ship and found that I had to paid up front, that means that if for some reason I had to cancel then I had to wait to get my money back, on other cruises you book your tour but it is added to your ...

A huge ship with LOTS of passengers. The room was good and our room steward was great. We did not like to have to get tickets for all of the shows. The theatre could not hold even half of the passengers.
The casino took up almost the whole 7 th deck and were not that busy. Some of that space could be better untilized with a bigger card room and some seating for just relaxing rather than ...

We have always been princess cruisers. Booked a twelve day from Barcelona on NCL Epic. I've read both positive and negative about NCL as well as the Epic.
I liked the size of the shower, and the UDP was a huge plus. Unfortunately there was more we dislike. I never looked to see when Easter was (it was Spring/Easter vacation), and the ship had a huge number of kids who always seemed to be ...

Have cruised with a number of other cruise lines but first time and last with NCL. THE Epic is just too big and too crowded especially when the weather keeps people in doors. There is just no where to just sit and chill. Very difficult to find any seating in the evenings unless you are a gambler. The casino which takes up over half a deck had hundreds of machines and tables free and an area you ...

This was our first cruise with NCL, we have previously cruised many times with Royal Carribean and thought we would try Epic for a change, a grave mistake.
It started badly with a long wait for a transfer from the airport to complete chaos in the terminal where there were too many people for the staff to cope with.
Our balcony cabin was small compared with what we were used to, with poor ...
