7th NCL Cruise, 1st Review EPIC 8/28/10
First and foremost, we LOVED the Epic. Had a wonderful cruise and will sail on her again. Purchased 2 cruise rewards certificates because NCL has been and remains "our" cruise line. This was our 7th NCL cruise and I don't believe I've ever done review before so bear with me.
Flew from Portland OR to Ft Lauderdale on Continental (arghhh no leg room) red eye arriving around 11 am Friday. Took SAS Transportation to Mondrian Hotel in South Beach - they let us check in early and upgraded our room. We booked Mondrian through Last Minute Travel recommended on the CC Florida departure boards. LMT, SAS and Mondrian were all wonderful. So hot and HUMID we just explored few block area around the hotel, ate lunch at italian restaurant, checked out Whole Foods and went back and took several hour nap. Had dinner around 10 pm at Mondrian in outside restaurant seating - wonderful.
Great location, end ba stern back on port side. Balcony is wider than usual - will hold 2 chairs, tiny table and lounger leaving room to move around,
