Review summary

The best vacation of our lives...so much to see in ports we are ready to rebook to see what we didn’t have time for. Would definitely book Epic again...be sure to book specialty dinners early...making changes doesn’t always work out well.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Recommend cruise line transfers, it made our line much shorter!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Very good experience in all dining venues...buffet great for breakfast or late night dessert or snack. Cagneys was top notch....LaCucina’s tiramisu to die for! O’Sheehans Fish and chips delicious as well as their wings...it’s a great place for lunch or pub style dinner. We had prime rib in the main dining room on the first night and it was great but that was the only time we dined there.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We were not there for pool deck....but bowling and pool tables was a plus.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Burn the floor was great... it was the only show we saw but bands, DJS etc around the ship very enjoyable.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Top notch! From our cabin steward to everyone at Guest Services and Oana in the Gift Shop everyone was just great! They could not have been any better!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We loved the ship...classy not over done. Very clean...hand sanitizer all over and they are right there to make sure you use it before entering the buffet...washy, washy!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a MD mini suite and it was just great! Huge shower, tons of storage, immaculate and comfortable! Don’t hesitate being close to elevator...no noise, no extra traffic outside our room.
