We booked this cruise about 5 months ago and we had friends and family decide to join us. We wound up with a party of 9.
I had read every review that I could find on the Epic hear and another web sites...People seem to either love or hate the ship..seems not much middle ground. I have always felt some people just look for that bad. Nothing is perfect so just go and enjoy.
We left with our friends Bob and Ruthie on Friday morning and stayed at the La Quinta in Fort Lauderdale. We had made reservations with SAS transportation to pick us up at the hotel and take us to the Port of Miami. They were right on time and very courteous. We had a full van but we had plenty of room everyone. The fee was $15 per person to the port. I thought this quite reasonable.
Loved the split bathroom..plenty of storage..very quiet. I don't like the tv by the bed..we don't watch tv in bed. The room was clean...beds comfortable.
