Cutbacks all round on NCL

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on Norwegian Epic

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 ...

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 ...

First and Last Time on NCL

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 ...

COULD NOT PAY ME TO GET BACK ON THIS SHIP

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 ...

Good Crew, Substandard Ship, Very Poor Management

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. ...

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 ...

Disappointed

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 ...

The suite was amazing and spacious. Two bedrooms both with bathrooms. It was perfect for our family. My daughter was always excited to see what treat would be in our room each afternoon. Chocolate strawberries were her favourite. The Haven restaurant staff were lovely and friendly. The food was also good although the menu doesn't change. There is also a children's menu of pizza, pasta, ...

We cruised on the Epic around eight years ago and loved it and were happy to book again. After booking and then reading the reviews, our expectations dropped but we were so pleasantly surprised! We booked primarily for the itinierary, stopping at all the best ports in the Mediterranean and the weather was perfect every day. The entertainment is most important to us and we were spoilt for choice ...
