Review summary

This cruise was for my honeymoon! It was pityful! Bland entertainment, 5000+ people on board with only 4 sets of elevators, bland food, all services were an upsale, not all inclusive at all, adult areas were not enforced, overcharged for excursions, just to name a few issues with it. Not to mention that my balcony stateroom was smaller than the interior stateroom on my last cruise.  All this on what they said was the 4th largest cruise ship in the world.  What a waste!!!!

If you would read, you would see that I said 4 SETS of elevators, and yes, O'Sheehan's is open 24/7 but their menu is minimal at best, and multiples of the same restaurant with dif names doesn't count as more.  Room service is not a restaurant.  As far as activities go, if you mean Bingo or The Dating Game, you can't do them all because they are usually happening at the same time, lol If you enjoyed yourself on an NCL Epic cruise, I'm happy for you, but I am use to much better accommodations, entertainment and food on other cruise lines I've been on!!!!!  And obviously most other traellers aboard agree with me, just check the review beside these comments!

honestly, there are 16 elevators, 8 on front and 8 on back of ship. and dinner service does open at 5:30pm, but there is plenty of food until before the time they close to prepare for dinner, so, its up to you to make sure you eat, and O'sheehans is open 24 hours, fyi. the complimentary dining options are not only 2, there are 5 dining options plus room service that are COMPLIMENTARY! the freestyle newsletter you receive each evening in your cabin has activities for the entire day, there are so many great activities, you don't even have enough time to do them all, which is why there are 3 days at sea to enjoy the ship.
