Norwegian Epic Review

Additional details
We don't do the shows and don't drink so we can't comment on the entertainment. We also did not book any shore excursions, but enjoyed the 3 ports we visited. We hadn't cruised in 5 years.
Our goal was to relax, and even though the boat was busy with the holiday and lots of kids, we were never put out. We only used the formal dining room once, ate at 2 of the specialty restaurants and at Taste several times. Rest of the time we ate at the Buffet. We were pleased with the quality of food and presentation. Never ended up waiting for a table, always were seated immediately.
General cleanliness of the ship was spotless. There were lots of hand sanitizer stations (something missing on our following cruise on Carnival). One thing all cruise lines could do better is mark the non smoking sections better. Use decals on the outside deck walls. Inside the ship the only smoky section was one part of the casino. But several times there were smokers on the jogging track.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
The rooms are "weird" with the curve and the bathroom design will cause distractions to your roomie if you need to use it at night as the door is frosted and the sink in the room itself. The beds are also curved, I guess to fit with the room curve, so they seem small and you feet fall off the corners.
