Review summary

I loved Barcelona Spain. The buildings, the architecture was amazing--the food was simply amazing and so much to see and do there-each stop on the cruise was breath taking! Naples, Civitavecchia(Rome),Livorno(Pisa & Florence), Cannes France and Palma de Mallorca. I wasn't to thrilled about the Norwegian Epic ship-the food was just ok, the mixed drinks in the bar were very weak and no liquor store on the boat for duty free shopping is just plain ridiculous and I hated the design of the cabin.

Getting on the ship was better this time-the lines were moving at a good pace-we got there early so it wasn't too crowded

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I've had better food and especially drinks on other cruise ships. The mixed drinks were very weak-it was if they had a shortage of alcohol. I have never been on a cruise ship that did not have a Liquor store so you could purchase Duty free alcohol-well this ship was the 1st.
