We chose the cruise via Travel email sent to us. The price seemed reasonable to us and taking a cruise on a cruise ship was on our bucket list. We were so delighted with the cruise although we cruised with 4,000 of our newest friends we always felt welcome by all the staff, especially our Cabin Stewart, Andrik Prasetyo, who was very personable and caring at all times of our comfort on board. The food was excellent at every restaurant on board. The NCL Epic allows one to choose which restaurant to dine at and is not a "cattle call" type of setting. Food and drink was available 24/7. The entertainment was top of the line! and a good variety was available during the cruise. The public areas (including the rest rooms were always spotless - a real feat considering there were 4,000 passengers onboard. We are retired and found the passengers where a span of age groups so we felt completely comfortable with all the venues we elected to attend while on board. We highly recommend Norwegian Cruise Lines.
