Trust me don't go on the Epic

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Epic

We have cruised multiple times with multiple cruise lines this was such a disappointment to our group of 10 and a 16 month old. I will make this easy to review: 1. Long waits for everything 2. Since the casino is so large and covers so much of the 6th floor on the boat there is a constant smell of cigarette smoke on the floors above and below. 3. The kiddy pool is the size of a blowup ...

Norwegian Epic - Epic Failure

I have cruised other cruise lines several times. This was my first trip on Norwegian. The good thing about the ship was that we had a nice balcony room, that was soundproof even though near the elevators and stairs. The rest was very poor. 1. Food was terrible. They did not even have the choices they listed on their website as their standard menu. They served the same core selections ...

I typically do not take the time to write a review but I felt compelled to save people from wasting their money on this ship. I must state this is our 11th NCL cruise and my family is loyal to NCL. Also have travelled on the Epic in 2019. WHAT HAPPENED? I want to start by recognizing the good. The cruise next team were fabulous and the service in Cagney's and Le Bistro top notch! We were able ...

This was our 4th cruise with NCL we have cruised 5 times with Disney and 1 with Royal Caribbean. This will be our last NCL! The staff was rude and they didn’t care about their customers. We waited in 30 minute lines just to get a drink even a soft drink. The food was horrible except at Cagney. The excursion we booked was to include a catamaran but didn’t…they only refunded us 30.00. They ...

The Only Thing I Can Say Is NOT GOOD

I should have done my homework before I subjected my family to the EPIC. Embarkation was painless but waiting 3 hours for your stateroom to be ready was painful. The Family Balcony Suite was excruciatingly small. It was dated and absolutely of poor design. The commode was 2 feet from your head while sleeping. The room accommodates at most three guests and somehow they allowed 4 in ...

The worst cruise line! Do not sail with Norwegian

This was the worst vacation I’ve ever experienced. I was told I didn’t have the free at sea package on the first day, then they wanted to charge me $1800 dollars more to have it added on. I definitely purchased the drink package when I booked but was told I didn’t. Then on day 2 we were turned away for our dinner reservation due to a time zone change that we were unaware of so we were an hour late ...

What an experience on the Epic. I booked a family balcony and got an obstructed view with no way to see the ocean. There are only a few of these balconies but there is not a different room type for these. I tried to change rooms and was told no. I explained the room type does not say it’s an obstructed view and they said “ I will write a report and get back to you”. 6 days on ship and no follow ...

As others have said, lines, lines, and more lines. Want a drink - long line (average 20 minutes). Want to eat - good luck getting in any of the sit down restaurants - 45 minute wait the one time we went, 40 minute wait the second time. The app was about useless - not rhyme or reason to what you are "allowed to book" and what you aren't. You have to show up at least 30-40 minute before a show to ...

DO NOT GO ON NORWEGIAN EPIC!

This has to be the worst cruise I have ever been on in my life! First of all it is very dirty like some of the areas wasn’t clean at all and has dirt on them or stains and in our cabin room there was a straight up cockroach we found, only one luckily and we called guest services but they did nothing to help us. Another thing is that some of the workers on there are rude, specifically one bartender ...
