Review summary

Not nearly as nice as our two previous cruises on the Breakaway and the Getaway.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Very long and tiring for someone using a walker.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Specialty restaurants were nearly impossible to book and when we did succeed the food was horrible to the point that they agreed not to count it but it did not matter because we could not get in anywhere else. On Dec. 26 I told them we were celebrating my Wifes birthday, but that was not acknowledged at all.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
wife was recovering from surgery so we did not use.

Entertainment

The Epic is totally different from the Getaway and the Breakaway.
