Norwegian Epic Cruise Reviews for Family to the Southern Caribbean

Cons- The ship is old and in desperate need of upgrades. The biggest issue is the rust and soot that come out of the stacks and stains your clothes. Everything is covered in it, towels, floors and windows. Every barrier glass and window we saw was filthy. It does not wash out. Understaffed and crowded. Lines everywhere for everything. Staff is polite but overworked. Hard to see shows- ...

Our experience on the Epic was mediocre because of the noise and lack of seating in the atrium. All games and other activities took place there. Seating was extremely limited, so most people had to stand around to watch the games, etc. Not one venue, aside from the theater, has capacity for a group to sit and relax. The lounges had closed doors, so when we were walking by, either there was a ...

After 30 total cruises and 4th on NCL, I have finally experienced a less than desirable cruise. On this cruise we were traveling with our son and his wife, along with our in-laws. Be booked this trip approximately 8 months prior to the sailing. It began when we booked the cruise and took the air package special with NCL. Upon booking, the NCL reservationist did not inform us that in order to be ...

Where to begin. Simple. WORST cruise ship ever!!! CONS This ship has been designed by designers for designers. Nothing works on that ship. First, the staterooms: NO bathrooms !!! The toilet is in a closet with only a sliding plastic door. So when you flush, the other person in bath thiks that nuclear war has been launched. The state room has no place to sit and the TV is smaller than ...

We have been NCL fans for the last 8 years, but this is our last. This ship was built by accountants; there are more rooms (and thus cruisers) than the common areas can handle. The service onboard is lackluster, except the staff of Le Bistro which was our only highly on the ship but good luck getting in. We went on this cruise with my mom to celebrate her 71st birthday and to say the ship was ...

For our 9th cruise we decided to try norwegian out of puerto rico for their frequent stops, up front good value and our first norwegian cruise. We’ve been on 1 carnival, 1 celebrity, 2 holland and 4 royal previously. The Beatles shows were kinda cool but hardly any production like shows on royal, the comics were good and the drink package and all tips/gratuities covered everything else was so ...

We have just returned from a 7-day Caribbean round-trip San Juan cruise: Aruba, Curacao, Bonnaire, St-Lucia and St-Kitts on the ship Norwegian Epic for which we paid more than 5000$. This was our first time sailing and we have to say that we were extremely disappointed. There were some positive points: - The weather was amazing throughout, always sunny; - The ship boarding and debarking ...

We chose it because of the ports - we have never been on any of them. Ship room design is very poor and cabins are very small. We had a balcony room. I am only 5'*' and my feet hang out as the beds are curved. Onboard food was terrible, Italian restaurant you cannot even find without asking many people. Onboard A/C was blasting the whole time. Only one small pool, cramped with ...

The Norwegian Epic Cruise was not Epic at all!! Starting off we had a really hard time getting to the ship from our hotel. We had to wait a very long time to embark, not sure it was because of Norwegian or because of the port(San Juan). The ship lay out is wierd, the rooms aren't laid out very well. There weren't enough elevators to accommodate all the passengers. Disembarking at one of ...

This was our 7th cruise and have cruised with Norwegian in the passed . This was by far the worst experience we've had on any cruise. Starting with the terrible embarkation process. I guess I should say we were fortunate in that it "only" took us 2 1/2 hours to check in standing in the rain and hot sun. We spoke with others who stood outside for as long as 4 or more hours. To me that is totally ...
