Not a great ship

Norwegian Epic from august 17-28 Mediterranean cruise Negatives: I’ve been on many cruises before and I wouldn’t recommend this boat Sales person advised wifi was unlimited with our package. They only give you 150 minutes the whole time. You have to login, and we tested it by forgetting the network, we lost 30 min. The guy in library said maybe they were doing an update. They ...

We selected this cruise for the itinerary and sailing date. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and we are a very active early 60 year old couple. I upgraded to an upper class balcony cabin, it's located just ahead of the rear stairwell. I mention this because in this ship that's the worst location we could have gotten. The main issue is the constant vibration while the ship is under ...

Dirty ship, rude staff and horrible excursions

We unfortunately thought this was a newer larger boat. Instead it’s outdated, small and dirty. The excursions we purchased through the cruise line were so bad but the tours we purchased off the boat at a fraction of the cost were excellent. They now charge you additional taxes for every drink you have using your prepaid unlimited beverage package and $20/day per person for staff gratuities. I ...

Great Trip with a Poor Ship

This cruise was chosen for the itinerary which was as great as expected. But the weird ship design and cost cutting by NCL took away from it all. NCL is just cutting too many corners. Hard working staff members did an admirable job of keeping everything ship shape but there were no extra touches. Staff members all seemed a bit over worked. This impacted service. Food qualify was also not quite ...

Where do I begin?? - Pools are all hot. Told by asst director Danny, that they are maintained at 32C/90F when tested on board the temperature was 36.5C/97F. These are hot tubs!!! A summer Mediterranean cruise where we had no place at all to cool off while on board the Epic. Absolutely no shade and hot tubs. If that is what you call relaxing, well good for you. I would tell staff and they would ...

I chose this cruise because of the ports. Italy, France and Spain… can’t beat that. Checked in with no real issues but my friend’s luggage wasn’t delivered to our room. We reported it and then after 8pm I started looking around on our floor for it and I found it in front of any another room because the person that wrote the room number didn’t write it clearly so it was delivered to the wrong room. ...

Don’t waste your money - The haven

We chose the cruise because we’ve travelled with NCL several times and we had found the food, service and quality superb. We’d been in the Haven on the Jade and considering it’s an old ship we were so impressed with the service and quality. So we decided as we have toddler, going in the Haven would be a great ease to us. We spent 13k on a 10 day cruise. The itinerary changed multiple times before ...

Fourth Cruise and this one was the worst In no particular order: First 2 days main restaurants couldn't provide many items that were on their Menu including Wine, half of the Desserts, no Mushrooms on one of the Steaks (ran out?). Also only had 1/2 Bottle of one of the Wines listed On first Day Cabin Houskeeping Guy advised us to not expect much or call him late in Day because he was very ...
