We chose the Transatlantic because we only had to fly one way across the Atlantic ocean.. Spent the night before the cruise in Orlando, and took am shuttle to ship. Got to Port at 11:00am. It only took 15 minutes after being dropped off, to sitting down and ordering lunch in the Haven. Fastest ever.
Had just about all our meals in the Haven restaurant. We had the 4 specialty meal package, and ...
Overall, very good transatlantic cruise, seas were light to moderate and the weather was generally in the 70s. Embarkation and debarking were both quick and smooth.
Would like to congratulate NCL for providing a bridge instructor and director for the sea days, Cheryl was excellent.
Also NCL provided a pickle ball court for two hours on most sea days, good fun, thanks to Lisa and ...
We had never done a trans Atlantic and it won't be out last. Seas were calm and blue the entire trip. We chose this due to the many sea days and access to several unusual ports.
A travel partner had relatives immigrate from Madeira and I have family to visit in Seville. Then add on Malaga, Cartagena, Palma, Barcelona and oops forgot Delgato! We had a marvelous lady give us advice about the ...
Our first time in Haven on Transatlantic Cruise this April 2019. We had such high expectations based on everything I had read. Took two days until we met our Butler - were we supposed to track him down? Snacks we preordered before the cruise were never delivered.
Did not prebook anything - was told to wait and let the Concierge do it. Finally met him on 2nd day and got 2nd choice on 3 of the ...
We love NCL!!! However, Port of Canaveral experience was single point of failure for embarkation. With bottle-neck entrance, little signage, no provisions for separate entrance for Platinum and above guests, everyone waited in the line from Hades - we waited for more than 2 hours to gain entrance to the building! It was hot, windy, dusty, with the noxious bus fumes burning our throats. Given the ...
We found a good price for this cruise and are tired of going to the same old places in the Caribbean, so we booked and inside room, and then upgraded to a mini-suite. The room was good in our opinion. There were many who did not like the "split" bathroom, but it worked fine for us. Our issue with the ship is the lack of inside seating space. The top deck is great if the sun it out and it's ...
We chose this ship for the exceptionally itinerary which was great ! This was 2nd cruise on the EPIC out of 67 other cruises. After boarding I remember why 4 years ago I swore I would not sail on it again; even on that cruise were were treated great. We are both Platinum Plus members which has it's advantages about wait list but even then the crowds were overwhelming. Let me say this first ...
We had done a repositioning cruise on the Epic 3 years ago from Miami to Barcelona. We had a wonderful time. It had only one stop on Island of Madeira. This repositioning had many stops, most of which we had not been to. We had a balcony room on both cruises. We found the facilities on the ship to be excellent. We like fine dining and opted for the dining package that gave us 4 specialty ...
This was my second TA on Epic and although the food wasn't 5 star, the people I met were A LOT OF FUN~! Cruise Critic's team on the Epic TA was excellent Geri & John (JW) along with others made this a holiday to remember. Meet & Greets, Bar Crawl(s), Cabin Crawl was informal and enjoyed by all. It was crowded and the passengers were older than I had anticipated (lots of scooters to watch out for), ...
This was our first cruise with Norwegian, and overall we were very pleased. The crew/staff were all very nice and friendly, the food was better than I was expecting. The spaces onboard were clean and nicely laid out, the ride was smooth, even when the seas were a bit rough, and there was a generally cheery feel aboard the ship. The cruise director had plenty of activities lined up for the days ...
