Miami to the Transatlantic Norwegian Epic Cruise Reviews

I was on the Norwegian Epic for 22 days, 12 of those days were at sea. I LOVE at sea. I love being on a trivia team and learning to work with those different from me, I loved the evening entertainment, the daily seminars, the freestyle buffet, the movies, the lectures, the port talks, the dance lessons, the exercise classes, the library, reading, doing crosswords, playing games, sitting and ...

We booked this cruise because, like many experienced cruisers, we were curious about what a transatlantic cruise would be like. We also felt that this was a chance to experience a mega ship, the sort of ship that would not ordinarily be our choice. We ended up persuading our inlaws to come along. They are less experienced cruisers but to their credit were game for anything. We arrived in Miami ...

Just returned from a transatlantic crossing from Miami to Barcelona on the Epic. Had a fantastic time, mostly because of the passengers I met on board. I want to share a few things. First, the ship is so big that it is overwhelming at first. Once I got used to it, it was fine. If you have trouble walking or wear out easily, I would not choose this ship. I have an 80- year old mother who ...

This was my first cruise, indeed I chose a reposition cruise for my very first voyage. Ambitious to say the least. I thought I would have a problem with motion sickness, I purchased Dramamine to avoid unpleasant surprises. The second night was a bit rough, I took the Dramamine once before falling asleep and I was fine in the morning. I did not have an issue with it from that point forward. My ...

What a fantastic cruise. It was wonderful to take this ship on a transatlantic from Miami to Barcelona. The ship was great to do a transatlantic as it is large and has a lot to do a board. During the many days a seat you can take advantage of the alternate restaurants, all the entertainment on board and just visit every nook and cranny. FOOD: I had been on the Norwegian epic a month before ...

I love to cruise and have been on plenty of Norwegian cruise ships before however, this boat was much too big and NOT ENOUGH OUTDOOR SPACE. It may be one of their biggest ships but most of the boat is dedicated to cramming as many people into little spaces as possible and VERY LITTLE is for relaxing. The only space to read a book without cigarette smoke is on the top deck which is loud and windy ...

We were three friends sailing on the transatlantic crossing to Barcelona on NCL's Epic. One of our group had booked a "solo" cabin which worked out well, as our balcony cabin was on the same deck 11mid-ship. This crossing was very smooth, hardly any motion to speak of. The captain actually stated that this was one of the smoothest, best weather crossings ever, with sunshine very day although too ...

As we were on the April 27 crossing, followed by the 3 day B2B and then on to Rome for another 3 days, we stayed aboard for 3 separate cruise 'groups'. I was a bit disappointed as I felt that the 'casual' dress Norwegian discusses had degenerated to 'sloppy'. There seemed to be much less dressing up than on previous NCL cruises we've taken. I don't see any good reason for allowing shorts in the ...

I went on this cruise with my parents (in their 50's) and brought my nephew along (16). Due to the nature of the transatlantic, there were very few teenagers on board and my nephew was a little bored, but that was his own doing. The embrakation took FOREVER, but that might be because we did not arrive until after 1pm. As we had 2 different cabins, and were traveling together we wanted to board ...

The ship was full which is unusual for repositioning cruises. Pre-Cruise. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott Brickell the night before the cruise. It is about 10 minutes to the cruise port. It is near shops and restaurants in Brickell. They have a shuttle to the port for $5 per person. You need to sign up for the shuttle the night before. The shuttle ride went smoothly. Epic Check In. We ...
