Barcelona to Europe - Western Mediterranean Norwegian Epic Cruise Reviews

The itinerary was excellent, although we won't ever embark/disembark from Marseille again thanks to their brutal taxation. Staff were friendly and attentive throughout the ship. Given the age of the ship, it's not in bad shape, the rooms that seem to be rated poorly due to design reminded us of the 2 RV's we once owned and loved. I would have no hesitation booking on this ship ...

I love the Epic so booked this cruise and I'm so glad I did, yes it was really hot due to the heatwave, but we coped and the air conditioning on the ship helped so much. The staff were amazing all so friendly and helpful, the restaurants were great always friendly and with me been vegetarian they were way more than helpful ensuring they got me the vegan menu and ensuring I was happy with what I ...

We booked the trip because it matched the time and ports that worked for other people. After booking, I began to read the reviews and became nervous about so many things. Fortunately we were very pleasantly surprised with almost all aspects of the trip. There were a few negatives and I will do my best to summarize our experience. We live in NJ and went to Barcelona a few days early. We ...

We took the Western Mediterranean Cruise on Epic, upon our friend's suggestion and it was great! 10 days are perfect for a cruise time and to see so many interesting towns! Great service on board provided by the staff. Next cruise we want to experience the Eastern Mediterranean one since we heard Croatia and Greece are worth stops. The food was great at the Manhattan where we had dinner! Buffet ...

For starters, this was my 15th cruise overall and fifth with NCL. This trip was three years in the making. We had to cancel our original 7-night cruise out of Venice due to COVID. We chose this itinerary because of the great ports. 11 nights Barcelona to Rome with stops in Cannes, France, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Naples, Messina, Sicily, Kotor, Montenegro and Greece (Corfu, Santorini, Athens and ...

Our first cruise post-covid and most definitely worth the wait! We were originally a little concerned at the size of the Epic, as we were used to the smaller South Pacific sized ships, but we never felt overwhelmed by the numbers and I believe that the cruise was at around 80% capacity. The Epic is well laid out for eating with the majority of the table restaurants at the rear and the buffet ...

This was my second time on the Epic and third cruise with Norwegian. Cruising is 99% back to normal, with very few COVID restrictions remaining (this took me by surprise). According to the GM at the Q&A session on May 21, we had 3000 passengers and 1500 crew onboard (about 80% capacity). He said they can’t go any higher with the current restrictions, but I am not sure what restrictions are left, ...

We are a Dutch family of 4 and this was our first cruise ever. For us, this holiday exceeded our expectations. First, of all, there is plenty to do for the whole family. Due to covid, we were informed that the "kids" club was still closed, but we and other passengers were lucky to have the possibility to leave them between 19.00 and 22.00 so mom and dad could have some romantic diner time. ...

This was my first cruise I've ever taken and I was blown away. This cruise exceeded all of my expectations. I was really nervous about being on a ship for 11 days for fear of seasickness and it was never a problem. One of the days we couldn't go into port because there were 50 mph winds and the boat rocked a little but I never actually got sick. The ship itself is massive and even after 11 days ...

We took the same ship and intinerary in fall 2017 and had a bad medical experience (unrelated to anything on the cruise). So this was a redo. Due to pandemic, prices were crazy low so we booked a two bedroom suite in the Haven. I'm sure that colored our experience quite a bit, but still I found things on the Epic better than the previous time. Start with Covid testing, which was done by the ...
