Here is my review of the Norweigan Epic Western Med cruise out of Barcelona, June 3, 2012.

This was my first cruise and a solo one I might add. I arrived (June arrived a day early June 2) in Barcelona and stayed at the W Barcelona for one night. Two thumbs up for the W! Amazing room, amazing location, amazing food...

June 3rd - made my way to the Port of Barcelona to embark the Norweigan Epic. What an amazing and overwhelming site to see when I arrived at port. Being my first cruise, I did not know, fully, what expect. WOW! Embarkation was swift and easy. I arrived a little early so my room was not yet ready. No worries.

Lots of storage. Very comfortable. There was a solo travelers meet and greet in the studio cabins' living room this evening (and every evening). Approximately 15 people showed up for this and we all went to dinner at Manhattans. It was great to make connections with others from the UK, the US, etc.. Read more
