Nothing Epic about this ship but the lines
"Due to the delay and the potential that it could grow longer, I called the Norwegian travel number, I wanted to let them know that the flight was late and wanted to know if the transfer would still be there and if the flight was delayed a little longer would the ship wait a bit since Norwegian had booked the air.Before we had even taken off from Tampa, I received an email stating that our connecting flight was delayed over 2 hours, this now set us to arrive in San Juan at 1730hrs, still in time for the ship but I wasn’t sure if there was going to be anyone from Norwegian to be there to get us to the ship, since we had the included transfer...."Read More

Had an Epic time, but there were some flaws

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 ...

Great food; no private areas outside to get away from the noise

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

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 ...

We chose this cruise because of our past experiences with Norwegian. In the past we have been extremely happy with the line. We were not Haven guests on this trip. We also had friends who cruised for the first time and were deciding if they would like this type of trip. Overall the trip was average to below average WRT service,the room and bed, The cleanliness of the ship, casino prices, and ...

The cruise has a great variety of things to do and always keeps you well fed. There is a main dining hall that has included breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are also ALOT of bars, restaurants and entertainment onboard. Writing this review it is important that i specify we had the "Free at sea package" Pros- - A LOT of places to eat and grab a drink - Entertainment with good music ...

We chose a cruise to go to the Bahamas, Cozumel, Belize, and Rotoan. The itinerary changed three times. First two, changing days around. I was told I now needed a passport to get into Belize so no problem my wife and I spent almost $600 expediting passports. Sure enough, they cancel Belize (the only reason we booked this cruise) and add Costa Maya…fine it happens. Next, they canceled the Bahamas ...

Our 7-day Caribbean cruise aboard the NCL Epic was mostly a failure. The only thing epic was all the lines we stood in to see or do anything. Lines to get drinks, see shows, board tender boats, and even the dining had lines. The worst was the 45+ minute wait in line to board a tender boat on the private island to return to the ship, not to mention the lines for drinks and food on the island. ...

sailed on 1/14/2024 out of port canaveral. This was my first cruise by myself. My friends normally make the cruise plans and tell me what to book. I just booked one of the cheapest cruises within my time frame and went this year alone. As many reviews have noted, it was at capacity. This was the longest lines I have waited in on any cruise before to get drinks at a bar. You expect it to get ...

I read the reviews and took a chance as some folks just like to complain. Learned my lesson. This is a pretty ship and most of the crew were very good. the only sign of age I saw was rust on our balcony. Everything was kept clean. We LOVED the Beatles show. These are the reasons we would never go back on this ship. I should note that the ship was at capacity and to be fair, some things may ...

The service was definitely lacking on this ship. The adult pool area had one or two waiters that would come around every several hours to take a drink order. Most of the time if you wanted a drink, you had to go wait in a long line to get one. They were very slow to pick up the empty glasses. The big screen in that area played repeat soccer for seven days straight, and the speakers were not ...
