I have been travelling on the NCL Epic since 2013 as the ship suits my needs if and when I am travelling alone. I simply love the studio cabins and lounge. I appreciate the fact that you can dine as a group in the evening, having previously experienced whilst travelling alone some good but sadly more often than not some "not so good" dining experiences. I love chatting to others but don't necessary want to spend the whole cruise with them or for people to feel sorry for me because I am alone and it is nice to speak to like minded people. I have also met and kept in touch with others over the years often meeting up again.
Personally I wish they would perhaps change the itinerary on the EPIC as after my next trip I will have I think "done it all", I am due on my 11th or 12th cruise on this ship shortly.
The studio cabins I must admit are getting ready for a face lift, doors missing and beginning to look tatty. Some of the "team organisers" also I think, try too hard sometimes in their pursuit to "organise" the solos, with games etc but apparently they need the good reviews.
Love it but beginning.like most of the studios, to look tatty, needs a refurbish..
