We booked the Courtyard Villa for our 44th Anniversary. We have followed every Cruise Critic review on EPIC since it initially sailed. Tips given were very useful. We did back to back cruises with the Western and then Eastern itinerary.

Embarkation was so smooth. Courtyard guests had their own checkin area and were escorted right to the EPIC lounge to meet Concierge and given tour by butler.

The courtyard villa was a spacious 2 bedroom unit on the 17th floor. We had our own Concierge (Florentina and Andreea) who were spectacular. Anything you wanted was taken care of by them. Had our own butler who was OK at best. The courtyard villas have their own dining room which is always quiet and good food with the very best service one can have. Aurora and Jennifer and the entire dining room serving staff were ultra friendly and provided the very best service. Christopher our room attendant was great - providing superior service and taking care of all our needs. The Villas area also has their own pool, hot tubs, and sunbathing area. Read more
