Where do I begin? My last experience with Norwegian was on the SKY and I left never wanting to return, however, the Epic has changed my mind and I must say the Epic is worth all of the hype.

This was a seven day Eastern Carib. cruise it left on 11/26/2011 and returned on 12/3/2011. The ports of call were St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Nassau, Bahamas. We were travelling for a family members birthday and in total there were 8 of us. However, obviously everyone was split into rooms with there spouses or friends that accompanied them.

The Ship: The Epic was quite big but well organized in many ways. A positive was that if you had even number rooms you were on one side with one set of elevators and if you were in odd number rooms you had your own side with corresponding elevators. However a negative was that there was only a forward and aft set of elevators and nothing in the middle so you would have to walk really far to get to the other side. The elevators were also always full and took quite a while to come unless you were at the bottom (5) or the top (15). The ship had a nice feel to it and even though it had 4,000 people on it did not feel overwhelming except for at the elevators. The large TV in the middle was a nice touch and many games and movies were displayed throughout the course of the week. The ship had many common areas and the deck on 15 was always happening. There was plenty of seating and it was always easy to get a drink from the bar. It was also easy to get food on Deck 15. Read more
