EPIC delivers epic cruise

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Norwegian Epic

Read a lot of negative reviews after we booked this cruise. Yes the sink is in a awkward location but certainly not a show stopper. The elevator were a bit crowded on port days but should be expected when 4 thousand people are trying to all leave at the same time. That said... the food and entertainment were top notch. The staff was friendly and attentive. We never had to wait for a drink or ...

We chose this cruise for it's Southern Caribbean stops. It's a very big ship and with that are challenges different than other cruise ships. From the start, things were weird. We had 11 people in 4 cabins working with an NCL agent to reserve. We saw that friends and family travel free - not so much. We understand that there's a per person fee, but we found that to get 4 people in a room, we ...

We've been on a dozen or so cruises and this was our 5th NCL cruise. We chose this cruise because my husband was working in San Juan. It seemed to make for a convenient departure and the ship would hit a lot of islands we were interested in visiting again. We stayed at the Courtyard Miramar and it was fine for a pre-cruise stay. EMBARKATION was a breeze. We arrived about 1/2 hour before the ...

We chose this for the 11 day itinerary with only one sea day. I was very disappointed in the food. We were parked next to carnival on a couple of days. I asked them if they still got shrimp cocktails as appetizers and a steak lobster dinner. Yes they did. I never saw one shrimp cocktail or any lobster. They had one night with salmon. We did not pay the extra 39 pp for the up charge ...

We always choose cruise based on itinerary and we loved this southern Caribbean sailing. We had sailed the Epic several years ago so we knew her flaws. There is a reason there is no Epic two. Despite what we had read on CC before we left staff was excellent across the board. Our mid ship balcony was what we remembered from prior cruise. Enough has been already stated about the design and we agree ...

We just returned from our 11 day cruise on the Epic, January 26-February 6, 2020. Had a great time with some great friends! Here is my review. Embarkation/Disembarkin in San Juan: Quick, easy and painless! Arrived at 11:45 a.m. Onboard at 12:15. Disembarking equally painless. Ship: Big ship probably due for dry dock for some upgrading and cleaning! Hallway on Deck 9 to our cabin smelled ...

5th Norwegian Cruise... 2nd on the Norwegian EPIC

Why when booking the Air-Included Package would they place the "two" individuals traveling together in different rows and completely apart from one another on the airplane? This situation was "only" corrected by contacting the airlines and paying EXTRA for adjoining seats... WHY? WHY? WHY? After the original booking, I noticed on-line that the "exact" same cruise that I had booked, offered a ...

We (2pp in 30s) cruised with carnival before. We are heavy travelers. We enjoy dining very much. I will compare Norwegian with my past carnival, because Norwegian was more expensive so I expected more with my money, but we were disappointed. We did not purchase special dining so this review is for people who would think the same. Spend min money on boat, max money on shore excursions. ...

Epic review This was our 3rd cruise with 3 different lines this past year. We have been on approx 14 cruises, 4 different lines. I decided on this cruise mainly for the itinerary. We live in Minnesota so leaving from San Juan means warmth right from the start! We also had 2 cruise next certificates to use so NCL was our choice. 11 day Southern Caribbean, 9 islands. I was a little ...

I chose ship for the itinerary and previous experience with Norwegian. Up front: everyone on staff was very nice and service was great. The food was was pretty good although most meats were overcooked/dry. The serving staff was awesome. The two biggest complaints were the lack of water bottle filling stations and the casino in the middle of the public decks. The smell of cigarettes ...
