1-10 of 64 Norwegian Epic Cruise Reviews for Senior to the Transatlantic
We picked this because of the dates and the TA itinerary. We would be visiting ports that were all new places for us.
Embarkation went smoothly, even though we arrived a bit later than we would have liked (around 2 pm). We left a bit late but the party on deck was going strong while we sailed. We got a nice evening view of New York and the Statue of Liberty as we departed.
The seas were a ...
I like NCL cruise line just was not happy with this cruise experience this has not been my first cruise with the company. I do enjoy some things like free at sea that they offer and i didn not enjoy other this like they could have done more activities during the sea days but it was kind of monotone thru the sea days. I was really disappointed with the glow party i was expecting a little more in ...
This was a repositioning cruise, so it had both a great number of ports, and a reasonable cost.
On the Pro side:
- Ports were Good. Arrecife and Tortola are a bit underwhelming, but otherwise, the ports were very nice. My favorites were Palma and Funchal.
- the ship was nice. Clean, lots of eating space.
- the balcony was great. The weather allowed us to really enjoy it.

We chose the Transatlantic because we only had to fly one way across the Atlantic ocean.. Spent the night before the cruise in Orlando, and took am shuttle to ship. Got to Port at 11:00am. It only took 15 minutes after being dropped off, to sitting down and ordering lunch in the Haven. Fastest ever.
Had just about all our meals in the Haven restaurant. We had the 4 specialty meal package, and ...
Overall, very good transatlantic cruise, seas were light to moderate and the weather was generally in the 70s. Embarkation and debarking were both quick and smooth.
Would like to congratulate NCL for providing a bridge instructor and director for the sea days, Cheryl was excellent.
Also NCL provided a pickle ball court for two hours on most sea days, good fun, thanks to Lisa and ...
We had never done a trans Atlantic and it won't be out last. Seas were calm and blue the entire trip. We chose this due to the many sea days and access to several unusual ports.
A travel partner had relatives immigrate from Madeira and I have family to visit in Seville. Then add on Malaga, Cartagena, Palma, Barcelona and oops forgot Delgato! We had a marvelous lady give us advice about the ...
Our first time in Haven on Transatlantic Cruise this April 2019. We had such high expectations based on everything I had read. Took two days until we met our Butler - were we supposed to track him down? Snacks we preordered before the cruise were never delivered.
Did not prebook anything - was told to wait and let the Concierge do it. Finally met him on 2nd day and got 2nd choice on 3 of the ...
We chose this cruise due to value for money and our interest in crossing the Atlantic. This was my first experience with NCL. The embarkation and disembarkation were the best of any cruise I'd been on. Swift and very pleasant personnel.
I loved having a balcony. Fresh air and wide open view of either the Atlantic or one of the islands we visited.
We stuck to all of the food venues that ...
I gave "Very Good" for this cruise because the price was awesome: 1450$ for 13 day transatlantic cruise in balcony room.
Ship and cabin:
+ unique ship design, everyone is looking on it
+ nice stylish rooms
+ nice location of buffet: great view in front of the ship
+ even if ship was full, there are was always free place near the pool
- separate wc and bath (and the fact that wc ...
We booked this cruise a second time because of the solid value offered, and the generally friendly and active passengers we experienced last year. Numerous people remembered us this time as we went about activities and dining, and all were repeat passengers for multiple past cruises.
The big values for us were the Burn the Floor dancers that performed in the Manhattan dining room, Epic theatre, ...
