Enjoyable Caribbean cruise

I went on this cruise with relatives who were celebrating a big anniversary and I was in a solo studio. This was my first time on the Epic and I had a great cruise but my experience was likely very different from others who sailed on this ship recently. Reasons for this may be because this cruise had fewer people on it than others recently and it seemed as though there was a lot of new staff. I ...

Great Time on a Goofy Ship

I had an aft-facing balcony on D12 and my nephew was in another cabin close by. First and foremost, we had a fabulous time. The ship is weirdly designed, with inadequate public space. Walkways are too narrow, always felt like you were climbing over people. On pool deck, it was very congested trying to walk along dodging stage, audience, pool, bar, and very tight rows of loungers. I ...

Deal was excellent for places of interest. 2 nights in some ports were a great way to allow time to explore. Europe- incredible architecture, history, stories, a must for anyone to learn, enjoy, and take in the sights. Two nights in a Palma would have been great, beautiful island, met nice folks, but a day at the beach would have even perfect. Naples- another location where two nights ...

Excellent Itinerary with a Ship that Actually Was NOT All that Bad

Background: I was in inside room on 9th floor, this is my 11th cruise. I ended up on the Epic really only because of the itinerary (11 day port intensive with 3 overnight stays). I was skeptical of the ship after reading others reviews but am glad to say they are mostly overblown. However, I will note that because I was on such a port intensive cruise I really made only very limited use of the ...

I've mostly sailed in Mexico and Western Caribbean. I've always wanted to do the Western Mediterranean. I found this big ship beautiful and well maintained. Everything was polished and clean. The service was great as always in the restaurants, room service and attendant. We had a balcony room which was slightly smaller than the NCL cruiseships, but the balcony was generous. The twin beds really ...

Was on a cruise previously with Norwegian. The service was excellent then and we dicided to go with their bigger ship this time round. The service, food, restaurants, staff and entertainment (Leo in particular) all superb and would do again. Leo from the Philippines played the guitar and mouth organ in one of the bar areas and was absolutely top notch. His ability to remember people's names ...

My husband and I booked this cruise for our 25th wedding anniversary. We flew I to Rome two days before the cruise in order to decompress and explore a bit of Rome before embarking. Because I have mobility issues, we arrived at the port and I was provided a wheelchair and was processed immediately. Our cabin was also ready when we embarked. We stayed in a balcony on the forward side of the ship. ...

We cruised on the Epic from 30/05/23 to 08/06/23 from 'Rome' to 'Rome', stopping in Naples, Palma (Mallorca), Ibiza, Barcelona, Cannes and Livorno. We had previously cruised on the Epic transatlantic from Lisbon to NYC in December, and I had not planned to review this cruise. However, this cruise ended up differing quite a lot because of the changes brought forward by Norwegian in-between cruises ...

This cruise was booked at 2Wks notice, so no prior planning or in depth research on the Cruise Line or the Ship, first time with both. We had a “Mini-Suite”, really a glorified balcony. Layout, really quirky, as everyone tends to say about the cabin. A real lack of power sockets.. and you have to hunt them down. 2 in the whole cabin area. Food and staff on the ship, no problem at all, we ...

Great TA itinerary, marred by a few glitches

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 ...
