We took our first transatlantic cruise and had two rooms for a family of seven. We haven’t cruised since before Covid. Based on the reviews I was quite worried. Concerns were all overstated. I am at a loss for all the negative reviews. As far as I can tell, some people just cannot create their own fun. I was worried about overcrowding. Nothing of the sort. Granted, it was a transatlantic ...
Just got back from the TA cruise to Barcelona. We cruised with Norwegian 3 times before, but first time on Transatlantic. Despite many negative reviews on Epic I have to say everything was almost perfect and exceeded our expectation.
Embarkation took 5 min. because we spent the morning by the pool at a hotel and didn't come to the terminal until 2.30 pm. Nobody in the terminal by that time, of ...
I want to be clear that I am writing this from the perspective of a guest in the Haven. In fact, I had a Deluxe Owners Suite. So, I am fully aware that the negatives in this review may not be seen as negatives for other guests. I simply want to be completely honest about my experience. This was my eighth stay in an NCL Owners suite and my third on the Epic. However, this was our first ...
Great opportunity to experience travel through the ocean getting to Portugal Islands, and Spain. Unbelievable the variety of food.
Wonderful Crew each of them very friendly, helpful and educated.
Good teamwork of the boys and girls from the restaurants to the stateroom, without them there would not be so much success.
Surprisingly the cleanliness throughout the boat is the main ...
A friend recommended a transatlantic cruise since my husband was retiring. We had not cruised in years, never transatlantic, and never been to Spain. It was a spur of the moment decision without the research I normally do on every vacation we take. When I found the time to look into it further, I was a bit concerned with some of the reviews I read of the Epic, but knew we would make the best of ...
I really enjoy cruising and the idea of a transatlantic including the numerous ports of call is what attracted me. I had never cruised with Norwegian before. I will definitely cruise with Norwegian. The ship is older so some areas need to be refreshed. There were more people on board than expected so there were line ups for the entertainment areas as well as the educational activities. After a few ...
What a great experience on our first TA Cruise! We were celebrating our retirements and our 40th anniversary. It was our second time on the Epic so we were aware of the little quirkiness of the ship...but that's what gives the ship it's "character"!
The food was FANTASTIC...with Cagney's and Moderno being much better experiences than we had on previous NCL ships. The entertainment was ...
This is our second time on the Epic doing a transatlantic and would do it again. The first few days are at sea. So relaxing is key. We got passes to the spa which is a must for true relaxation. The spa is large enough to never feel crowded except maybe noon to 4 pm which is the time we would not go. Mornings at the gym and spa were the best times to go. We order fruit and danish in our cabin as a ...
We have done this before. Twice we sailed from Barcelona, west with final stops either in Miami or Cape Canaveral. This trip took us the other way and it gave us some stops in ports (Cadiz, Gibraltar, Malaga) we were not familiar with and two stops in places we have been to before and enjoyed (Bermuda, Funchal). If you ever plan on doing a TA...check to make sure we are on it...42 days under our ...
We were a group of 12 friends that decided to go on a transatlantic cruise together. Norwegian Epic seemed to have everything we were looking for - lots of sea days, fun and interesting ports, good reviews on the ship's restaurants and entertainment and the price was fair. We also all live near the embarkation port - unfortunately we had to fly home since the ship wasn't returning to that port and ...
