Ship Quality

Love, love the spa area! Massages were fantastic! Overall layout was great!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Studio cabin was fantastic! I totally nested!! Room was very clean throughout the trip. Size was great! I have had window and inside cabins to myself, but prefer the Studio Cabin. The Living Room was a great place to meet people and have an espresso drink. Enjoyed the daily bartender and the cruise staff effort to setup evening activities for solo travelers. Solo does not equal alone!
Ship tip
Explore the entire ship. Don't forget the topside adult decks. Bar spaces are great meeting spaces and provide fabulous reading spots.
Took the tour to the Crater Lakes. Scenery was awesome - so green in November in the North Atlantic. The crater lakes were amazing in their color. Countryside was beautiful. Don't miss hibiscus growing wild along side of the road.
Disembarkation was awful due to lengthy customs and immigration process. Epic staff provided excellent information ahead and during the very lengthy process. I had lunch on the ship because it took so long. Epic staff did what they could but some passengers missed flights. Ship staff was really customer service oriented.
