Review summary

This was the worst cruise that I/we have been on. I have been on a lot of cruises, and not all of them have been great, but this was the worst!! The cabins are awful, the staff was beyond rude, the casino dealers were rude, the food was disgusting and the sea days activities (and pool music) were horrible!! My boys are 13 and 15 and were bored as well! If they hadn't made friends, I do not know what I would have done! I would not give this ship another try, even if I was given a free cruise! 

Ship experiences

Could not ever get anyone to wait on you, unless you wrapped money around your key card!

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Really weren't any!!

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The band and the singers at the pool were so bad that people actually got up and left when they came on.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
Kids hated the teen clubs! They hung out with friends everywhere else but there!

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Everyone was beyond rude!!!

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
The sink is in the room, the shower and toilet are separate from each other and they are located in the front of the room. The sheets were never changed, and the room wasn't ever really clean. The lighting was so bad I couldn't see while getting ready (went to my kids cabin because they had a little more lighting than us). The TV never worked and if you needed something, you couldn't find anyone to help you.

Love this island but it poured the whole time we were there, so have a back-up plan if you plan to go to a beach.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
Bring cash. A lot of places don't take credit cards.

From most of the reviews I have read on the Epic,  it is an Epic failure.  Sorry you had a bad cruise.
