Norwegian Epic Review

Additional details
My wife and I sailed from Miami for a seven night Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Epic December 1, 2012.
We stayed the night prior to the cruise at the Hilton Miami Downtown and had a great view of the Seaport. We took a cab for the five minute ride to the port and dropped our luggage with a very friendly porter. After the usual security scan, we literally walked up to the counter without a wait (even though it was about noon...we just hit a perfect little break in arriving passengers) and within three minutes, or check-in was complete. We sat in the waiting area for no more than 20 minutes and we were on board.
One of the challenges for the first day on any ship is just trying to figure out where you are and where you want to be. We took the elevators to Deck 11 and headed towards our aft cabin, 11317. Our luck continued as when we arrived to the Deck, the doors to the cabin area were just being opened and we were able to drop our carry-on luggage in our room.
Cabin Review
Aft-Facing Balcony
Cabin 11317: B1 category, aft-facing balcony. Ample storage space on wardrobe closet and drawers; suitcases easily fit under bed for extra storage. Balcony has great views and is covered, which was great for people who like the shade. Very quiet (aside from the sounds of the waves coming out of the back of the boat) -- at least two floors of passenger cabins both above and below this cabin.
We had a great trip in this cabin and would recommend this particular cabin without hesitation.
