Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

The ship was immaculste and beautiful.

The ship was beautiful--the art work throughout, including the Shakespeare themed dining rooms, enhanced the layout. Sparkling clean, with a state of the art workout facility, topped with a serene chapel, the Independence of the Seas is our favorite.

We really liked the adults only pool and hot tub area. The overhanging hot tubs were spectacular.

The Cabin was great. The dining areas were excellent with a wide selection of food. The excursions were some of the best we have ever experienced. Can hardly wait for our next cruise.

All personell were extremely helpful and friendly. The ship was clean and well run.

The ship was very impressive and rooms were spacious

The ship was magnificent! The cabins, common areas, dining room and pool area were beautiful. The staff and crew were friendly, helpful and caring. Overall, this was the best vacation we've ever had!

A really fantastic first time cruise experience. Both kids thoroughly enjoyed their time in kids club/teen club which gave us time out. Great food, friendly staff and a variety of different activities made this the ideal family holiday. Lots of info/maps/guidelines provided before each port which made getting off the ship at the various ports easy.

It would depend what a person wanted. we chose the ship because it was going places we wanted to o not the ship it self

Excursions too far away from port average apx. 2 hour each way and very expensive. Being that it was an Immersive Wine Cruise - Expected some sort of wine treat to be included with dinner, etc. instead was charged $10 to 20.00 for any sort of tasting.

A great ship - good entertainment, great excursions, great food and great staff.

this is a big boat so learn it early and take advantage of all it has to offer.

The ship was very nice, clean, and beautiful inside.

Very well kept and clean ship with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff

The ship was great, not too small and not too large. It was easy to get around and also easy to get on and off.

Found the city of Barcelona exciting to leave and return to. The exploration of Italy, France, Monaco, Spain along the entire Riviera a must see. The Norwegian Epic is a wonderful well ran cruise ship if you don't mind large ships with lots of people.

This was our first oceanic cruise (as distinct from river cruises) and our main objective was transportation whereas for many of our fellow passengers the \"cruise experience\" seemed to be the thing. That explains why Holland America provides so many different activities and frankly pampers its guests--but from a personal standpoint, we didn't need that much attention and thought the prices were a bit steep.

Nice size vessel. Needs some updating. Clean. Modern. Controlling air temp was an issue but they adressed.

The ship is nice enough and very clean, however, I'm not accustomed to pay for all the \"shows\" and entertainment on the ship. The Blue Man Group was the only free entertainment that I am aware of, everything else to see was extra. The freestyle dining was a nightmare. I felt like a herd of cattle in the mornings trying to get breakfast before our excursions. Dinnertime was the same way unless you went at really odd hours to avoid the mass of people. The food was typical \"buffett\" food. After a few days, it all seemed to taste the same no matter what you ate. I tried the grilled salmon about 4 different times but was only able to eat it once seeing as the other 3 times it was totally raw in the middle. By far the worst food I've ever had on a cruise.

It was a wonderful cruise. Everything was well organized.
