There is lots to do on the Norwegian Epic and it's a pleasant enough way to travel. I enjoyed the fact that even travelling was part of the experience and the food, whether it was complimentary or not, was superb. The cost of alcohol, however, at $8.90 for a beer (after tax etc.) was excessive I thought. There is a varied amount of entertainment (Burn the Floor, Prescilla Queen of the Desert when I was there) if you like the singing and dancing style of entertainment, and also a comedian and an acrobatic/circus style performance called Cirque Dreams which was very skilful. The ship was laid out in a very easy to navigate fashion, with decks generally being reserved for either guests or entertainment/shops/food. The service was very efficient and friendly and I can only speak highly of the staff who worked in the restaurants, the stewards, and housekeepers etc.

However, NCL have ruined what was an otherwise enjoyable week by still having 2 pending withdrawals against my bank account amounting to almost £600 - even after my bill has been paid. They have caused me to incur bank charges, my debit card was declined until I received my monthly salary, and it was only because I had some euros to change back to sterling that I was able to get into work for the first week back. I had purchased a Cruise Next deposit because I had enjoyed my time so much. Needless to say I'm now asking for it back. Would I use NCL again? The way I'm feeling now, it's doubtful. Update: the hold which NCL had against some money in my bank account was only released on the 7th November - a full two weeks after I got back home!
