Review summary

Still like the free style cruises. The Epic was OK but the food standard went down, no more flowers in the dining room where it is now fine if not recommented to come and eat in shorts and flipflops. A big let down for the guests who still see like a little glamour. The tending in the Caymans was a mess due to heavy swells. All in all we will still sail on Norvegian but hope the company will not cut any more corners.

Ship tip

Being such a big ship be careful about excursions involving tending. A lot of people come back at the same time and the lines can get very long to get back on board.
