We have cruised about 5 times before and enjoyed it a lot. We picked this cruise because of the itinerary which was great. Everything else was terrible, ship is old, tired and a horrible design, unless you want to go to the casino. The food was ok, the entertainment was almost none existent. The game shows we did attend were extremely old fashioned and sexist. The tendering was so unbelievable ...
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 ...
Well first off, I'm not a complainer. I have enjoyed every cruise good and bad but feel I needed to write a review on this one.
Our first mistake was letting them book our flight. Came from the US and flew on Luftansa. After flight delays, re-routes, #2 missed connections because of them, stress, rude people, (Frankfurt, Germany- THE WORST!!) we finally got to Barcelona Spain 9 hours late. ...
I am now platinum latitudes on NCL and this was our second and probably our last time sailing on the Epic. While the itinerary was good the ship is showing it's age. We always get a great size balcony quiet aft location. Bathroom needs to be remodeled. Had to ask for the in room coffee maker as they removed them. Best restaurants Moderno and le Bistro and the noodle bar. We usually order the ...
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 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 Instead it’s outdated, small and dirty.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 ...
I was so excited to book this cruise for my family; the ports of call were just what we were looking for, and the biggest selling point for me was 2 days in Florence rather than 1 like other cruise lines.
Despite the beautiful ports of call, the cruise itself left so much to be desired. To summarize, here's the list.
Pros:
- Ports of call
Cons:
- Cancelled the stop in Sardinia, ...
We decided to cruise on the Seabourn, having only done one other cruise with them. We did back to back cruises, starting in Barcelona and ending in Rome 20 days in all.Embarkation was good. The ship softgoods (interiors of cabins} very very tired. They were in dry dock during Covid, and it would have been a good job to re-do those dark cabins, with lighter fabric. Our penthouse suite was very ...
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 have not cruised for a few years the last cruise being on Costa. NCL appeared to offer a good mix of entertainment restaurants and decent staterooms. I wish I had read the reviews before booking though as the trip turned out to be a total disappointment. The ship is old and has an underlying smell of sewage in the corridors, lifts did not work and everything looked tired and in need to ...
