Review summary

Itinerary was excellent but the handling of excursions was poor to awful most of the time.  It was especially crazy on a tender day with rough seas.  The staff handling the excursions had no control of the large crowd waiting for at least an hour for their tours.  it would help if they would take advantage of technology and use their video boards to show status of the tours instead of trying to sell bottles of water!!

 

Food in the specialty restaurants was overall very good and major entertainment was excellent.  Unfortunately, the balcony cabins are tiny and poorly designed.

Don't pay extra for a balcony on Epic unless you plan to spend all your time on the balcony
