Norwegian Epic Review

Additional details
The ship is beautiful. I have been on it 2 years ago and had a great time. This ships is great for entertainment, the nightlife is excellent (always something to do). The main issue with it though is you have to line up for E V E R Y T H I N G. From going to a show, to dinner, to getting a drink, and of course for the elevators.
Booking everything on day 1 is essential. We were unable to book the steakhouse as it filled up really quick. We went to the Teppanyaki (fun experience) and the Moderno Churrascaria (very good as well).
The production shows are top notch. The Burn the Floor dance show is a must see, as is the Priscilla Queen Of The Desert show (not for the easily offended).
Cabin Review
Inside
The inside cabins are the smallest we've been in (compared to Princess/Celebrity). Still functional but a bit more space would have been nice. Our cabin had some damaged furniture and the hinge of the closet door was broken, requiring an adjustment everytime to close it. The bed wasn't very comfortable but that's a subjective thing (I have back pain). Lighting and ventilation also suffers in the room - even with the temperature set to the lowest, it would sometimes be warm and at other times cold.
Port Reviews
Ocho Rios
We decided to walk around the city... It's dirty and the air quality is very low.
Grand Cayman (Georgetown)
We had to dock at an alternative location due to rough seas again (rough seas for tendering). That cut down on options for pre/post-tour i.e. walking around Georgetown.
We did a Taste of Cayman excursion - Visit of the Cayman Brewery, the Tortuga Rum factory and Cayman Spirits. It was interesting and informative - and tasty!
