I read a number of reviews about the epic before our cruise and I was a little apprehensive because there were a number negative comments.
I am happy to say we really enjoyed the epic. Arrivals and departures were smooth with very little wait times. The entertainment and food was amazing. We did eat at several specialty restaurants and the food was excellant. The overall service including cabin service was excellant.
If I were to make a suggestion for future ships NCL need to make more outdoor space available especially quiet spaces. We went back to our balcony many times because there were no seats on deck .
