Embarkation: Quick less then one half hour.Ship: Not very nice looking on the outside beautiful on the inside.Cabin: Little on the small side, but only slept there. If you have a family of four get a room with the bed closer to the balcony, you might have more room.Food: Very good at the included restaurants (Garden cafe, O'Sheehan's, Taste, Manhattan) Specialty restaurants that we ate at (Cagneys,Moderno) were excellent.Entertainment: Excellent, Book before you cruise.St Marten: Rented a car and drove to Orient beach which was very nice. Marigot for shopping and the airport beach for the fun of it.St Thomas: Day sail with Captain Max to St John, it was excellent.Nassau: Day pass at the Sheraton Cable beach, nice pool, nice beach , nice relaxing day.Debarkation: Less then a half hourOverall we had a great time on the Epic.
