I had the pleasure of spending 13 fabulous nights aboard the beautiful (well, at least from inside) NCL Epic. The ship still looks brand new, everything is in great condition. I stayed in a courtyard penthouse #17008 and did not regret my choice. Friends stayed in a courtyard 2 bedroom villa and I actually preferred my smaller penthouse due to it's size and airy feeling and not to forget due to it's bigger balcony with 2 loungers, 2 chairs and a table.
The decor of the stateroom was very chic and modern with a great colour choice. Well done NCL!
The shower (in the tub) might be difficult to use for older travellers (you have to literally climb into the deep tub) but was perfect for myself. The toilet was separate with a glass door. Suite also had the famous Lavazza coffee machine, lot's of storage (most of it not deep enough to store clothes though) and the truly heavenly bed that NCL provides in all of their suites. I have never slept better on any cruise !
