Excellent value for money
"A few weeks before our holiday, we were notified by email that the H2O adult pool and entertainment area on board would be closed for repairs.Hence we had to go to other areas with free loungers but no pool which in hot weather wasn’t good for us, so we didn’t stay very long...."Read More

This cruise was booked at 2Wks notice, so no prior planning or in depth research on the Cruise Line or the Ship, first time with both. We had a “Mini-Suite”, really a glorified balcony. Layout, really quirky, as everyone tends to say about the cabin. A real lack of power sockets.. and you have to hunt them down. 2 in the whole cabin area. Food and staff on the ship, no problem at all, we ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary as it visited places we hadn’t been to before. Also, with the iFREE AT SEA offer, the price seemed very reasonable compared to the same class of ship with other cruise lines. We were not disappointed. Our balcony room was exactly like the NCL website picture. Very clean and comfortable bed with toiletries provided in the shower area. Unfortunately an ...

We are a family of 6, mom, dad, 19, 17, 6, 3. July 24-31 BCN-BCN We had two cabins 10087 and 10088. Booked flights through NCL with one free flight included per cabin. Since we had two cabins, they actually booked flights for each cabin separately and our family was split up 3 and 3 on separate flight itineraries! I was shocked that they would do this, but when I called (on hold for an ...

We organised this cruise as a relaxing week in the sun for me and my wife, visiting a couple of new ports (for us) and a few old favourites. The pre-planning by Scotland's Cruise Centre was top notch. We flew from Edinburgh to Barcelona and jumped in a taxi to the port (39 Euros) without a hitch. The process of welcoming us on board was flawless and our luggage arrived at our stateroom within half ...

This was cancelled twice due to covid so we were excited to finally go. Second cruise on Epic, so we knew what to expect. Embarkation smooth and trouble free, food was wonderful, staff attentive and brilliant. Masks were not enforced, only when docked at Italian ports, which we fully expected. But Ship is starting to show its age a bit. Discoloured tiling and stains on pool, worn benches ...

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. - ...

I choose this cruise because of its ports of call, despite my negative overall impression of NCL from a prior cruise (more later). This cruise confirmed my previous nehative impressions but I was more imrpessed with NCL's positives. I think senior NCL execs are making some very poor decisions. My experieince is tempered by the fact I choose a Haven cabin. Haven gives cruises some nice perks, ...

This was my third time on the Epic and I still enjoy the ship, particularly the comfy chairs on the pool deck by the table tennis tables that don't seem to get discovered by anyone else until the end of the cruise! We were beset with worse weather than normal and this meant that we had to skip Malta, but they turned it into a sea day and added Athens the next day instead. That was an impressive ...

Overall not a bad experience I would recommend it and considering doing it again.. I do think for two beverage packages more variety of drinks should be added for those that are not alcohol consumers.or the price should be lower.. I was given $50 credit towards port excretions I was only able to use one and was told if I did not use it I lose it.. I think that the unused excretion credit shoul ...
