We really enjoyed the EPIC cruise. My son had previously sail this same itinerary and had highly recommended it. He was right!!! Everything was great. Food, drinks, entertainment and ports made this vacation awesome.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Enjoyed a few of the ships stage shows. All were fun.

Children's Programs

did not travel with children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I noticed that all of the staff was friendly, attentive and very professional. This goes for room stewards, dining staff as well as waiters. Cruise director's staff made the journey enjoyable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Look and design was very nice. Was able to get around easily and never felt too crowded.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was great. As mentioned on different reviews, bathroom arrangement is a little different but it did not bother us. Plenty of storage space and well organized. Only minor issue is with size of bed. (a tad short for average size man)

Ship tip

be prepared to have a great time!!!
