Review summary

Best spot on the ship was the Spice H2O deck at the rear of the ship. No children allowed and not a windy as the main pool area. Also, very quiet!

The ocean was like a lake and the sun was shining all the way across the Atlantic..

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Smallest balcony cabin on the ocean. Design was awful. two people could not function / get dressed / etc. the bed and a huge rounded couch took up all the floor space. On the positive side, the sink was so close to the bed that you could brush your teeth and wash your face without getting out of bed. Problem was that two people couldn't fit between the bed and the dresser so you had to syncronize your movements to get from one side of the bed to the other.

Ship tip

Not Epic! Go on one of NCL's smaller ships

You are right about Spice H2O but it's actually too quiet for us. It is actually dead air back there from 8am-8pm. No music, no energy, found it disappointing actually. I guess I'm younger than my age, I like a little energy and music over cafeteria noise.

Is there an adult part at the front of the ship. I think it's deck 19. I went on the epic 5 years ago but I can't remember there being an adults only on the back of the ship too. I'm on the epic again in 6 weeks time
