We had been on one cruise previously with another company and did not love it. This was going to be our last cruise if we didn't like it. It turns out we loved it. The Epic was a great ship and the staff was outstanding. We were on a 7 day cruise to Tortola, St Thomas, and Norwegian's Island. We enjoyed all of the stops. We did a safari taxi in both Tortola and St Thomas and would recommend it to anyone. They cost $25pp and last approximately 3 hours. No reservations are needed because you pick them up once you get off the ship, they are everywhere. It is a great way to see parts of the island you won't see otherwise. There are numerous photo opportunities and you learn so much about the history of the island. Tortola and St Thomas are only 20 miles apart, but St Thomas is in such better shape after the hurricanes 2 yr ago. I hope they spend some money in Tortola to get it back in pre-hurricane shape.

The ship itself was terrific. We had no issues finding chairs by the pool and the drinks were plentiful and easy to get to. The restaurants were excellent quality and we enjoyed every meal, especially the T-bone (off menu) at the italian restaurant. I have nothing but great things to say about the shows and music, we enjoyed it everyday.
