Four Out Of Five - that's unheard of!
"All in all, this was a good cruise with good staff, perfect weather and a good set of stops around Southern Europe, although I really do hope these cost cutting and recouping exercises are not a permanent fixture, particularly on the port taxes and charges on drinks.The (fantastic) veal chop had been replaced with a (less good, but still nice) pork chop, and the rossini now has a 10$ surcharge (which is really $13 after service and port taxes - more on the latter later!..."Read More

Stay off the Epic

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Epic

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

The Epic is by far the worst ship in the Norwegian line. This cruise it was loaded down with about 4300 passengers. I was totally incapable of accommodating this number of passengers. The lines were endless and everywhere. A number of things did not work. Average wait time for a drink on the pool deck 20 minutes. Finding a chair impossible. Finding a seat in the buffet, almost impossible. ...

Norwegian cruise line worse than Carnival

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This was the absolute worst cruise I have ever experienced. The rooms on the Epic were shabby and smelly. The food options were horrible. The staff members were rude, entertainment options were all substandard. The staff working at the Garden Cafe and horrible parents allowed their children to play in the buffet food. Adults were filling their personal water bottles at the public water fountain ...

Our family just completed a 7-day Western Caribbean Cruise on the Epic, which was also our first NCL cruise. Prior to boarding, I was absolutely terrified having read all of the recent negative reviews. Having completed the cruise, I must say the Epic gets more criticism than it deserves. Let's start with the bad: We had a later board time (I was late doing the online check-in), and ...

Food was great, staff were nice and friendly. We had a good time. The cruise director & captain were funny and witty. I’m giving them 2 stars because of the “Kids Zone”, our trip was predicated on having our 3-yr old go to splash zone while we attended our specialty dining, gambling and occasional drinks, however the staff and policies at the Kid Zone (splash zone) were horrible! ) they wouldn’t ...

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 ...

Mid ship / Deck 9 Balcony Room Pros: Excellent / Great food (all beef is angus beef) - never over cooked as we experienced both times on Royal Caribbean. By far the best food on any cruise line we've experienced. Excellent customer service No seasickness due to captain/pilot's experience on large swells on last day of cruise No lines for Starbucks Cons: *No place to get away ...

Norwegian Business Practices Require Review

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Epic

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Start with the positives, ship was quite nice, as were accommodations. Staff on the most part were helpful, and food was very good. Now the negative, way too many passengers to appropriately accommodate. Long lines and wait times for shows, drinks elevators etc. Norwegians overall business practices are poor in my opinion. Besides the unreasonable costs for packages such as drinks and specialty ...

Norwegian Epic - Epic Failure

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

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 ...

Chose this cruise because of the itinerary and price. We found the overall ship to be in good shape and clean. The staff was excellent and very helpful. Stayed in a Haven suite and found the cabin to be clean and good size for my wife and I. We found the food to very good and restaurant staff to be great. The casino on the ship is the biggest we have seen on a cruise ship and really liked ...

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 ...
