Chose this cruise because friends were going on it. This worked well and was great to have company. The entertainment was in general very good. Priscilla queen of the dessert was awesome, good comedy shows and in general entertainment was good. Food was up and down, often tough steaks , over cooked and warm food was the norm. Exceptions were le bistro where we had a truly fantastic meal. Overall we enjoyed our cruise, but was dissapointed at the lack of arts and crafts on sea days, really unless you like quizzes not much else going on, then the nickel and dimming for other things was annoying. Will I cruise ncl again, probably, but not transatlantic and not the epic. Got to use the vouchers up I was sorely miss sold on the escape up sometime in the next three years. Other than that, not again. Last year did celebrity eclipse and enjoyed it more overall.and out of 55 cruises I have things to compare them too.
