Spain Norwegian Epic Spain Cruise Reviews

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 ...

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. ...

I just returned from a 12 day med cruise on the Norwegian Epic and sadly it looks it age. It’s definitely in need of a fresh look and update. Most disappointing of all is the odd bathroom design of separate sink/shower/toilet adjacent to the front cabin door with zero privacy. The food on board is ok, buttress in some of the specialty restaurants. The main dining room service was uneven and the ...

When booking our honeymoon we thought that the price of NCL outweighed the benefits of another more expensive cruise. In hindsight, they are cheap for a reason. The cruise started rough because of some storms which left people waiting in lines for up to 10 hours before boarding the ship. We were lucky and only waited 4 hours after our original check in time. Once on the ship we found out our ...

We selected this cruise for the itinerary and sailing date. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and we are a very active early 60 year old couple. I upgraded to an upper class balcony cabin, it's located just ahead of the rear stairwell. I mention this because in this ship that's the worst location we could have gotten. The main issue is the constant vibration while the ship is under ...

Norwegian Epic from august 17-28 Mediterranean cruise Negatives: I’ve been on many cruises before and I wouldn’t recommend this boat Sales person advised wifi was unlimited with our package. They only give you 150 minutes the whole time. You have to login, and we tested it by forgetting the network, we lost 30 min. The guy in library said maybe they were doing an update. They ...

We booked this cruise for my husbands 50th Birthday. Even though we had the unlimited beverage package we noticed there we were charges in my card everytime we ordered a drink. According to guest services it was a 10% European tax fee that every guest had to pay and it was not notified. After that, due to the amount of people complaining they put signs in every bar announcing the charge. They ...

We unfortunately thought this was a newer larger boat. Instead it’s outdated, small and dirty. The excursions we purchased through the cruise line were so bad but the tours we purchased off the boat at a fraction of the cost were excellent. They now charge you additional taxes for every drink you have using your prepaid unlimited beverage package and $20/day per person for staff gratuities. I ...

I have cruised about tan times in the past 8 years with multiple cruise line companies. This was my third time cruising with Norwegian. NCL had good prices and had three perks (drinks, specialty dining, and $50 off excursions per cabin per day) that attracted me to the cruise. What they did not disclose were all of the hidden costs they would tack on. Even though you have a “free” drink package ...

This cruise was chosen for the itinerary which was as great as expected. But the weird ship design and cost cutting by NCL took away from it all. NCL is just cutting too many corners. Hard working staff members did an admirable job of keeping everything ship shape but there were no extra touches. Staff members all seemed a bit over worked. This impacted service. Food qualify was also not quite ...
