My girlfriend and I (both in our mid-50's) just returned from a 5 day cruise aboard the Epic. I have cruised RCCL several times and have been on the Epic (in a studio) before. This was my girlfriend's first time cruising on NCL. We had a mini-suite on deck 10 and got the Unlimited Drink package and 3 specialty dinners as our Free at Sean promotion.
