Yes, 1000 kids on the Thanksgiving Norwegian "not so" Epic cruise!!! The ship capacity is only 4500 keep in mind.

OVERVIEW: This is the first time I've written a cruise review - my family and I felt given all the hype about the Epic, we should at the very least drop a short note. I'm a 35yr old male and have taken my parents (both 65) on a cruise annually since 2007. All cruises have been with Norwegian in the Caribbean or Europe; all on different ships. We've always had WONDERFUL experiences with the line...can't say enough.

EMBARKATION: We were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to board the ship - we'd hired a car to take us to the port of Miami from the W Hotel and at the advice of the driver, we were picked up at 12:30pm...waited in no line and walked right on. We were surprised that there was no offering of a complimentary glass of champagne as with all other sailings on Norwegian. We made our way to the garden cafe for lunch, which was a standard staple. As we sailed off, we noticed a LOT of children on the pool deck...running all over the place. It was then that the cruise director (who left quite a bit to be desired) informed everyone that there were over 1000 kids on the boat!!! Read more
