Spain Norwegian Epic Spain Cruise Reviews

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 ...

I wish I would’ve googled this ship before we booked, but I guess I gotta learn somehow. This was our first cruise with Norwegian and everyone was ranting and raving about how great everything is. The only thing they had going for them was embarkment and disembarking, that was super easy as long as you know what you are doing. Our room had a hull balcony, which is fine because I knew what those ...

Had a Balcony room on the 14th floor The Balcony had some serious rust issues to make it quite unappealing to sit outside. But when you get to a port and look at the rest of the ship, it's understood why, there is quite a bit of Rust showing thru..... while other cruise lines do painting maintenance while in port, never saw any NCL personnel with even a paint rush. It needs some serious ...

I travel on NCL quite a bit but the Epic was horrific. Did a B2B cruise Jan-28-2024 through 3-11-2024. LONG LONG LINES everywhere, whether dining, bars, venues. I've been on many NCL ships and other cruise lines, but nothing like this. The first leg of the trip, they ran out of lite beers on 5th day, and I'm not a beer drinker but EVERYONE was complaining. You had to wait 45 mins for a drink ...

There was a very long queue embarking the Epic at Marseilles. I would say 1 hour 40 minutes waiting time. We are Platinum members so we got into the Priority queue but it still took 45 minutes (why do they make you fill out the paperwork online beforehand and submit photographs but insist on doing this again at the port). Such a waste of time. We noticed lots of cutbacks onboard. Not as much ...

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 ...

I just returned as a solo traveler on the NCL EPIC. Worst cruise ship I have ever cruised on. Eleven days of pure torture. This ship feels like a dark, dank, dirty, seedy two-star Las Vegas Casino, only in Pahrump, NV. The food was horrible, the crew were constantly angry, often agitating passengers. My check in was botched, my app never worked, my name was wrong, all my excursions were cancelled ...

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 ...

I booked and paid for this cruise for my Husbands birthday on the 2nd Oct or 33rd Wedding anniversary on the 6th Oct and as a treat for my parents who are both 81 and in very poor health. My Mam has mixed dementia and my Dad stage 4 lung cancer, this was the last holiday they will ever have. We have never sailed NCL and have only ever sailed with RC, we left the cruise ship on Tuesday 4 days ...

Just completed 11 day European cruise (Spain, Italy, France) on NCL Epic, with three overnight stays- Barcelona, Rome, Livorno. The itinerary was good and the overnight stays were great. However, NCL is a very substandard cruise line and the Epic is also a substandard ship compared with any other we have been on. We have done a dozen cruises on Holland America, Princess and Royal Carribean. ...
