Shower-sink-toilet arrangement on Epic is atypical and widely criticized. It is however manageable.  Cabins are very tight and extremely difficult to maneuver from one end to the other when more than one person is dressing and/or selecting their clothes.

An excellent way to see and experience the historic areas of the city.  Tour guide was knowledgeable but not fully comfortable in English.  At the "bar stop", a complimentary beverage was included

Not much to see in Cannes.  This tour could be done self guided.  All one needs is a city map.  The city can be easily walked directly from the ship.  No shuttles are required. If I am ever in this port again I would plan a different excursion.

Barcelona is a super city.  Great Dining. Reasonably priced.  Easy to get around, Visiting the Sagrada Familia is a must.  We also enjoyed the Gothic quarter. I plan to return to this city in the future.

Barcelona

We did "Capri on your own" because we did not know if there would be an issue with getting boat tickets to/from Capri to meet the cruise ships schedule.  the tour guide arranged a Blue Grotto side trip for those that wanted to do and enabled it to be charged to your NCL acount.

Excursion included the Colosseum (external only), driving tour of Rome, lunch, and walks through the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica.  
The tour was good but Rome needs much more time to be seen and appreciated.

NCL will then hold your wine until the end of the cruise.Consequently, I doubt if I will consider an NCL cruise again.
