You either love it or you loathe it, I suppose. I adore how the bathroom is divided. While someone is in the shower and another person is in the restroom, I can shave and clean my teeth. I enjoyed the staff as well. They seemed really kind and competent to me. Many thanks for bearing with all of us pampered Americans.
We will take the Epic once a year for a change, as we cruise a lot. It is a very special ship. There is just one like it. We’ve taken Epic on a couple transatlantic trips and had a great time each time.
Many others with whom I have spoken agree that it’s a welcome shift and that it’s perfectly acceptable. Reviewers are the only ones who voice complaints about it.
There is a lot of space on this enormous spacecraft.
Aside from being as ugly as sin, the only thing I dislike about the Epic is that it doesn’t have a nice promenade deck for leisurely strolls by the water.
Like me, the Epic is a solitary cruiser, and its solitary Lounge bar is the greatest of all the ships with solo lounges. It also offers the best Spice H2O of any NCL ship.
I went on my first cruise on the Epic with my wife. It’s been difficult for any cruise after that to compare. We had several sea days and discovered a plethora of small, peaceful places to read books and sip mudslides. Excellent staff and layout!
