Overall a great cruise, a great ship, and had a good time. Loved that they had hand sanitizer at many points throughout.

Embarkation was very smooth and quick.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The food on the ship was good, not excellent, but good. Somethings are better than others, it just depends on what you order. The buffet had plenty of lines offering the same things on all the sides. We like the Taste restaurant the best out of the two main dining rooms. All the desserts I had on the trip were amazing.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Pool area was nice, difficult to find lounge chairs sometimes, very crowded in the hot tubs too. We enjoyed watching the game shows in the atrium but very difficult to find seats.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The comedy shows were just OK, the burn the floor show was excellent, we did not see Priscilla Queen of the desert. The dueling pianos Howl at the Moon show was fabulous. We really enjoyed the game shows put on in the atrium, but it was hard to find seats.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Most of the staff we came in contact with was helpful and nice, our room steward was great.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The Epic Is a beautiful ship. Very clean. It’s very large, but we did not feel that it was too big. The elevators were OK but once in a while very crowded, most times one would open it would be full already. So we ended up taking the stairs sometimes, not a big deal.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
We had an inside state room, which was small, but that is to be expected. We thought it was quite comfortable, did not mind the bathroom being by the front door with a separate toilet and shower. There is a curtain for privacy separating it from the rest of the cabin. Lights were very dim.
Ship tip
Book your reservations for shows in advance to make sure you get in. We had no trouble.
Did a glass bottom boat tour, which was interesting and gave nice views of the bay. Then walked around town a little bit and looked at a few shops. Most shops were not too pushy, except the straw market, you look at one item and they are on you immediately.
This island is beautiful, but extremely crowded. Get there early to reserve yourself some beach chairs for your group. What was nice was that they had a free buffet set up on the island for lunch, so you do not have to bring any food with you for the day.
