Review summary

I have traveled with Royal Caribbean in the past and this was my first time with NCL and I must say that I was very happy.  The staff was on top of their game like to other.  The room attendant on Deck 11 was AMAZING !  The entertainment was the best I have ever seen on any of the cruises I have been on.  I do feel that the food selections at the buffet seemed to be repeated too much, but when you are preparing food for a ship that is at over 6000 capacity of people it's probably quite hard to accommodate a lot of options.  The cruise director was AMAZING, he engaged in the dance parties and activities.  Spice H2O was rocking it all the time and it was FUN !  I personally do prefer a little smaller ship than the Epic but all in all it was a very good time.  The only complaint I have is the way the inside state rooms bathroom/showers were arranged.  Having them separated was not a problem but there could at least be a curtain on the toilet side like there is on the shower side as well.   Would Definitely recommend NCL.  The freestyle cruising is the BEST !  No dinner time, no assigned seating, just go with your own flow.  Will definitely cruise with NCL again.

The best I have seen other than the Priscilla of the Dessert ! I understand that everywhere you look there are openly GAY relationships but this was a bit ridiculous on that aspect.

wasn't very impressed here but they did get a lot of hurricane damage and are reconstructing a lot so maybe once it is final, it may be better. Personally I liked Royal Caribbean's CoCo Cay MUCH better
