Norwegian Epic Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We choose this cruise because the schedule worked for my daughters spring break from school and we have sailed Norwegian before and had a good experience on past cruises.
This one, however, was pretty terrible, first off, it was a 'full ship' and that is all well and good if they were prepared for a full ship. The check-in proton was pretty smooth but you could tell the agents checking you in were running at full capacity and a few extra windows open could have sped things along a bit and lightened the workload of the agents that were there.
Once on the ship, it was apparent that ALL the shows and entitlement was sold out on the touch screen displays and this was seconds after boarding. We booked the Cirque show weeks in advance or would have had no shows what-so-ever. The onboard staff seemed very overwhelmed and disorganized and we were told 'don't worry it'll be smoother in a few days'.
Cabin Review
Mid-Ship Balcony
Awful, small, no privacy when showering or using the toilet, bed too short.
Port Reviews
Tortola
Raw and real, this was my favorite stop, it wasn't as developed as St. Thomas and had a really good feel to this island. Took a guided taxi tour of the island and saw most of it. I would recommend an island taxi tour and get a knowledgable local to show you around. they still have some work to do in terms of clean up from tropical storms that decimated the islands.
