This was our fourth NCL cruise and we have also previously cruised on Celebrity and Princess. We are a couple in our early 30's and this was our first vacay without our daughter so we were really looking forward to a nice relaxing vacation. We chose NCL mainly because of the great price we secured and because we loved the Freestyle concept on the other NCL ships (Dawn, Jewel, Star) We had read so many varying reviews on the Epic that we really didn't know what to expect but went onto the ship with an open mind. For this review I will do my best to categorize things into three categories -- Excellent, Ok, Not so good. It's important to note that we did not have any major complaints with the Epic or its crew and probably everything that falls into the "Not so good" category could be considered a #firstworldproblem! :)
