I took my 13 year old twin boys on this cruise. We sailed on the Getaway last year and the kids loved it. They couldn't wait to get on the epic.

The good news is that there is a lot to do on board, for all ages. We had the ultimate dining and ultimate beverage packages. Dining was excellent. Dinner was the highlight of most days on the boat. We ate at la cucina once. Garfield was an outstanding server. Food was good. We at at Moderno and Cagney once as well. The quality of food at Moderno was better than expected. Nice variety good service. Kids loved it. Cagney's was good as well, but not great. Not steakhouse quality, but dinner and sides were tasty. Service from Krisma was outstanding. Teppanyaki was the favorite. The show was great. The food was much better than any Japanese steakhouse I have ever been to. We went back twice!

The pool was very nice, but finding a lounge chair was always difficult. Also, I didn't like that the stage faced away from the pool and towards the buffet. Always seemed like it was taking energy away from the pool. The kids liked the water slides, but lines for the plunge got up to 45 minutes a few times during the cruise. Read more
