I like NCL cruise line just was not happy with this cruise experience this has not been my first cruise with the company. I do enjoy some things like free at sea that they offer and i didn not enjoy other this like they could have done more activities during the sea days but it was kind of monotone thru the sea days. I was really disappointed with the glow party i was expecting a little more in ...

This was a repositioning cruise, so it had both a great number of ports, and a reasonable cost. On the Pro side: - Ports were Good. Arrecife and Tortola are a bit underwhelming, but otherwise, the ports were very nice. My favorites were Palma and Funchal. - the ship was nice. Clean, lots of eating space. - the balcony was great. The weather allowed us to really enjoy it. - ...

We have been wanting to cruise on the Epic since we were on the Jade in 2011 and watched the video presentation of this latest ship in the NCL fleet. Since then, we've looked at many reviews of the ship, and finally we found an itinerary that suited us. We had a balcony room just forward of mid-ship on the starboard side (10075). It was the second balcony where the side of the ship flares out, ...

Chose the cruise due to good timing round the Easter. I have done 2 cruises on Epic before. I only had dinners in Specialty restaurants - which were mainly positive experiences - there was some service slowness issues on Wasabi and food quality issue on Cagney's but mostly was happy with the food. Breakfast and lunch experience I have from Taste and buffet and both met expectations. Worst ...

Barcelona was a city we wanted to visit and cruise destinations were places we wanted to visit Embarking procedures were very challenging, partly due to ship being late arriving at Barcelona Crowd control and information bit shambolic at this time Arrival on ship reception was good and luggage arrived a few hours later Cabin layout we found bit unusual, separate toilet, shower and ...

This was our first transatlantic cruise and we loved it so much that we have alr day booked 2 for 2017. We got on the ship at Barcelona and got on our way. Our first stop was Canary island which is a nice little town to do a quick walk or as we did a hop on hop off bus tour on. And second stop was San Juan and that is also a nice port with much to see and do. The ship itself is well mainted and ...

The Norwegian Epic Transatlantic October 2016 After ten days in Europe I boarded the Epic in Barcelona for Port Carnaveral. I have done this west bound cruise several times, and on the Epic two years ago. The seas were calm all thirteen days. Even in tropical Caribbean the temperature was comfortable and the humidity low. Contentment was sitting in your own balcony reading a good novel ...

This is a lovely ship with good food, nice staff and great entertainment. The worst part was the cabin. Amazingly there is no bathroom! The sink is in the bedroom and there is a toilet cubicle and separate shower cubic, behind the cabin door. If you need any privacy there is a curtain to separate the 2 cubicles from the rest of the cabin. So if someone gets up in the night to use the loo they have ...

We took our second Transatlantic cruise having taken our first in September 2015. Embarkation at Barcelona. Very good and a lesson in how to throughput 4,100 travellers quickly. Our luggage was even at our stateroom before we were! Stateroom 12174. Very good - lots of storage, spotlessly clean ( well done Leo), is a slightly quirky curved design. The opaque glass doors in the WC and Shower ...

We booked the whole package with NCL and did not get off to a good start. The flight from London was delayed and we we not given much information and nearly missed the flight (some people did miss the flight and had to make their way to the ship at their own expense). We arrived on board just in time for muster. The Epic is a huge ship and most of the decks are taken up with cabins. It took ...
