I chose the epic because of the Solo cabins ,but otherwise was rather disappointed The 4500 passengers is too large, especially when part of the outdoor space is dedicated to those willing to pay extra for the space. This is not fair . Outdoor space was at a premium with many disagreements between passengers on sitting rights. Security is very lax with many smoking other than in designated areas, many younger people wandering the ship drunk with drinks in there hands late at night, dances lacked it and many carried drinks on to the dance floor and of course this led to broken glass Service was less than good which may be due to the policy of adding gratuities to your bill. The staff knows they will get a tip and may not be attentive as possible It is possible to reverse the gratuity though and tip as earned. On the positive side the staff member assigned to the solo travelers was great, the entertainment and food selection good. I wish they add these Solo cabins to more ships The old saying is always true -you get what you pay for or in this case do not get what you do not pay for
