The ports were the selling point. The ship was overcrowded large lines and not able to get into see shows. Food at best was fair. No seating poolside and kept winding up on Deck 16 again very crowded only 6 umbrellas for hundreds of people. Push was for speciality resturants not main dining or cafeteria. I will never cruises NCL line. Our balcony had paint chips flying off when we sat outside ...
The ship is nice and room was lovely, however we had problems with the shower, every time we used the shower the bathroom flooded which apart from being a hazard it was an inconvenience. The ship was full and there were queues everywhere especially at the buffet, pools were always crowded, most of the staff were not helpful maybe because of the overload of work due to many people being on board. ...
I was expecting a relaxing cruise. I just love the fact you do not need to plan anything. In this cruise planning was the difference between getting caught up on busy main road or a chicken farm.
The buffet service staff were horrible, probably cause of the constant chaos.
>Opening times not respected
>Queues were like 20 minutes long.

We chose this ship because I have always traveled with Royal Caribbean but was told that Celebrity was a step up. I was aware that the ship was older but had been refurbished. Cleanliness: The sink in bathroom had to be removed after each time we used it because it was clogged and pretty gross. The shower curtain was not clean, the hallways smelled of mold and several of my companions wound up ...
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 ...
A drawback on this cruise was the high temperature in Italy. But I don´t blame Celebrity. Our experience is 12 weeks, 8 ships from 5 different companies. First time without balcony. I think this was the oldest ship we have been on. But we are much older, so we felt at home. Free parking in Ravenna, and smooth embarkation. What surprised us most was the amount of staff, everywhere. In level with ...
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. ...
