This was our first NCL cruise but our 8th cruise over all. Previously we have sailed 1x on Princess, 5x on Carnival and 1x on RCL. We have loved all of our past cruises. We were so excited to try a new cruise line and were optimistic about the Epic, but unfortunately the Epic just didn’t give us the cruise experience we’ve had on other lines. We won’t be back on the Epic and maybe not even on NCL. We have enjoyed the 3 other cruise lines and will stick to those in the future. Don’t get me wrong, we did enjoy ourselves and we believe a vacation with family is what you make it, but for the purpose of helping others plan I will point out the great, the good and the not so good.
THE SHORT REVIEW:
Great: O’Sheehans, ice cream, cabins quiet with comfortable beds, food always open, cirque show
Very small cabin with awkward layout.Very little storage.Bathroom setup in cabin means it's impossible to use toilet, shower or sink without making a lot of noise in cabin. TV is in a location where you can't see it if the bunks are down.Quiet room.Easy to access.Comfy bed.
