Wanted to try a TA cruise and so happy I chose this one. Met a great group of people. Balcony cabin was a nice size with more than enough storage space. Just wish the sink was bigger. Service was great. Food good. Like I said, no complaints. Shows were good and very diversified. I thought the ship was in great condition and clean. Loved the places we stopped at, and was very happy with the excursions I chose. I thank everyone who was on cruise critic for all the information beforehand. Did book another TA for November from Rome to Miami. Ship is Norwegian Star, so I know it's much smaller then Epic. I never found the size of the Epic to be overwhelming. Also never had a problem with the elevators, lines at buffet or even finding seats at the buffet. Where ever we went, fellow crusers were friendly. Again, I have nothing but praise.
