Review summary

We cruised on the Norwegian Epic for 10 days with another couple.  We loved every minute of it, especially since we could do what we wanted to do when we wanted to do it.  The staff was outstanding and did everything possible for us to have an enjoyable experience.  We appreciate Catherine standing at the entrance of the buffet area ready to spray everyone's hands in order to keep germs away.  She did this every day with a great attitude.  The entertainment was excellent and the usage of the spa was definitely a plus.  We have already recommended this cruise to family members.

It's interesting to see when some people are so passionate about a particular ship. Lauren, you must be cruising with Epic a lot since you like it so much. 😉

Love your review!! Glad you had a great time. Did you ever feel like the ship was too crowded or have slow service at bars and restaurants? That seems to be the only complaint for Epic, but Im interested to hear an opinion on that from someone who actually had a good time (:
