This is my third NCL cruise, but first on the Epic. I picked this particular cruise as I had little options due to my kids spring break week and I don't like to go to the same place twice. This is what NCL had to offer and I was excited to go on a mega ship. Here is my summary
Embarkation, quite smooth especially as it was right at 11:30 when we arrived at the port.
Cabin, two aft balconies 8210 and 8212 they were ready by 2pm. Clean and some what spacious. Shower was good but the toilet was loud to flush and no privacy. Norman our cabin steward was amazing, he even fixed the heel on my shoe
I booked both 8210 and 8212 they were ready by 2pm. Clean and some what spacious (compared to other cabins I've stayed in) Shower was good but the toilet was loud to flush and no privacy. 8210 is on the end and the balcony is a little wider than 8212.
Noise level was good, however you do hear the engine when the ship docks and a little noisy outside do to the wake of the water. I think I would prefer a side balcony next time. Balcony was very private.
Norman our cabin steward was amazing, he even fixed the heel on my shoe!
