This is our second time on the Epic doing a transatlantic and would do it again. The first few days are at sea. So relaxing is key. We got passes to the spa which is a must for true relaxation. The spa is large enough to never feel crowded except maybe noon to 4 pm which is the time we would not go. Mornings at the gym and spa were the best times to go. We order fruit and danish in our cabin as a wake up everyday which is free. Just fill out the card and leave outside the door in the evening. We are at the Manhattan dinner most evenings. Remember to make a reservation 90 days out online for the no charge restaurants. But wait till on board for the pay restaurants. Also the sooner you make reservations for the different shows on board the better. We do it first thing. The food on board is very good. Taste for lunch is a nice sit down restaurant but the menu stays the same all week. The cabin is fine just the bathroom is a little odd with translucent glass. Shows are good and there is something to do everyday if you want or just go sit in a bar. Shakers was our favorite with a piano player most nights. All employees are pleasant and helpful. The ports are great and ending in Barcelona which is a fun city.

Walked the port and went to the museum.

Love this island. Took a tour with hit the road tours. They are the best! Jazz was our driver.

Went with Spanish Day tours to Seville and loved it there. Beautiful place.

Gibraltar

Great place with lots of history. Took a tour with Gibraltar rock tours. John Lopez.

Malaga

Spanish Day tours took us to Granada which is beautiful but a long drive.

Barcelona

Love Barcelona and is worth staying a few days to see the sights.
