Review summary
Norwegian Epic - The cruise ship was massive .. the first part of our cruise was great .. not many people we didn’t have to wait or fight for pool chairs and the boys got on the water slide and would run and get right back on them again .. no wait .. but in Barcelona a whole new cruise began and everything was reset. Pictures on our account, etc.. we noticed they had a celebration pool side to commemorate the beginning of the cruise .. for those clients (we did not have that). At Barcelona they picked up more people and then the ship was full.. at capacity. A couple people in our group of 25 people were ignored at the pool bar. They served everyone around them even people that walked up after them. This was extremely upsetting. .. we were grateful that we only had to endure that for 2 days (our cruise was almost over) .. Pros to the cruise ship ... tons of entertainment!!! Always something going on!!! lots of bars with live nightly entertainment, lots of places to eat included in the package in addition to the gourmet Restaurants that were extra. They had an over 21 area with bars and tables alone with a pool and pool lounge chairs and large screen (like the one where we watched movies on celebrity) .. they watched the World Cup games there during the Day and movies at night .. They had casino table games and slots and had games (boxes) going for the World Cup games. They had bingo games where you could win $2,000 or a 7 day cruise. Lots for the kids to do by the pool and the kids club was amazing .. the kids did not want to be picked up. They had a game room with tables and board games which our kids enjoyed too. And of course the WiFi cafe with book cases with books to borrow to read during the cruise. The cruise staff were great... minus the bartenders at the oool bar after Barcelona Cons - Food was okay .. not bad but not celebrity food. WiFi that was included was only 250 minutes not unlimited WiFi .. it was horrible .. had to pay for the better WiFi and one day it was totally down. Not like celebrity. We booked a balcony because I these cabins are usually more comfort. Not the case on this shop. The cabins were small for the number of people .. really tight. We had a beverage package but couldn’t get a bottle water or soda. We would get cups .. if we wanted bottled water we had to buy it. We did have water on the juice bar so we refilled our water bottles there.Embarkation
