We just did the New Year’s cruise on the Epic, with stops at Stirrup Cay, St Thomas and Tortola. On board were my husband (50s), son (10), and me (40s). We travel twice per year on vacation and have done RCCL and Disney Cruise Line several times in the past. We select our cruises mostly for the ship and not the itineraries, and were excited to try the Epic. This is our first experience with NCL. For convenience, I have segregated feedback in three sections: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The Good
1. Ship is gorgeous. The EPIC is truly magnificent on the inside. The décor is subtle and tasteful, with dark wood and neutral tones. Every corner is impeccably clean and well maintained.
Nice cabin, beautifully decorated, although small. Close to elevators and stairs. Aft location on top of Manhattan Room and Moderno. Quite a hike from the buffet and EpicTheater.
