Review summary

Very few common areas with a a view of ocean or even sunlight.

The ship seemed extremely crowded.

The staterooms are very cramped.

It's hard to get bar service - all bars are very crowded.

The entertainment staff is dismal.

The Escape Room was great.

The food was above par.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Very small and cramped. Since I didn't use the hangers they banged against the bulkhead all night. I took the hangers off the next morning and the room steward put them right back. bang, bang all night long. Can't get use to having a toilet and shower directly in my stateroom. Other cruiselines put them where they below - in a bathroom.

Ship tip

Don't sit in a restaurant where the ceiling is open to floors above. People throw things at you, i.e. a shotglass made of ice.

Cabins also have very dim lighting. We sailed a few weeks back. Not much good to say. Will NOT cruise Epic or any other MEGA ship again. Too many people on board. Also Epic has ONE yes one bar by the pools. Opposite of the one bar is a towel station that mirrors the length of the bar across from it, but they chose to make an extended towel station instead of another bar SMH.
