1) While the ship is large it is well laid out and easy to maneuver, loved it overall.
2) Balcony cabin we were in 9290 aft. In short the cabin's are a deal breaker when it comes to the beds as we are 6'0 and partner is 6'2. Plus the space to pass by is barely negotiable and we are both small frame, we weigh 170 and partner 140 lbs. Just for comparison! As for the balcony we much prefer the aft cabins that are tiered so that we can get as much sun as possible but on the Epic the back of ship is flat back and not tiered.
While I had read that there was lots of storage space, they maybe be correct when it comes to the female but for the men to have to squish their tops and shorts into a 10 to12" depth drawer is pretty tight. What we missed in drawers was gained in hanging space but lacking the specialized hangers.
