Norwegian Epic Cruise Reviews

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 ...

This cruise was chosen for the itinerary which was as great as expected. But the weird ship design and cost cutting by NCL took away from it all. NCL is just cutting too many corners. Hard working staff members did an admirable job of keeping everything ship shape but there were no extra touches. Staff members all seemed a bit over worked. This impacted service. Food qualify was also not quite ...

Where do I begin?? - Pools are all hot. Told by asst director Danny, that they are maintained at 32C/90F when tested on board the temperature was 36.5C/97F. These are hot tubs!!! A summer Mediterranean cruise where we had no place at all to cool off while on board the Epic. Absolutely no shade and hot tubs. If that is what you call relaxing, well good for you. I would tell staff and they would ...

This ship is dated no promenade, no new updates. The rooms are small and uncomfortable with little room to store clothing for a10 day cruise. The pools on the ship are small and extremely crowded. There is a The pools on the ship are small and extremely crowded. There is an area towards the back of the ship for adults only which looks like a small pond without a covered area. For an adult only ...

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 ...

My husband and I booked this cruise for our 25th wedding anniversary. We flew I to Rome two days before the cruise in order to decompress and explore a bit of Rome before embarking. Because I have mobility issues, we arrived at the port and I was provided a wheelchair and was processed immediately. Our cabin was also ready when we embarked. We stayed in a balcony on the forward side of the ship. ...

I chose this cruise because of the ports. Italy, France and Spain… can’t beat that. Checked in with no real issues but my friend’s luggage wasn’t delivered to our room. We reported it and then after 8pm I started looking around on our floor for it and I found it in front of any another room because the person that wrote the room number didn’t write it clearly so it was delivered to the wrong room. ...

We cruised on the Epic from 30/05/23 to 08/06/23 from 'Rome' to 'Rome', stopping in Naples, Palma (Mallorca), Ibiza, Barcelona, Cannes and Livorno. We had previously cruised on the Epic transatlantic from Lisbon to NYC in December, and I had not planned to review this cruise. However, this cruise ended up differing quite a lot because of the changes brought forward by Norwegian in-between cruises ...

We chose this because we wanted to leave from Rome to see the sights there first. We hadn't been to Spain before so thought this would be a good itinerary. Boat was old, crew members seemed unhappy/unenthusiastic/upset. Many were pleasant but the overall vibe was not good. Other passengers noted similar sentiments. The steakhouse, churasscaria and French restaurants were the highlights of the ...

I chose the cruise for the solo experience that was apparently fantastic on this ship . Unfortunately not the 10 days I went on it did not exist . No meals drink evenings etc our director was missing . Lots of solos gave out . Last night the lounge I met 4 solos alright before that. The lounge was dead . Food was not healthy in the solo lounge . Cake no fruit etc and got charged for drinks thought ...
