Review summary

We had a wonderful cruise but I was wondering if I had made a mistake booking our first cruise on the Epic after reading all the negative comments. However I’m glad we went on the cruise my husband and I had a wonderful cruise that we will never forget.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was super easy But we didn’t realize at the time that when we were told to get in line we cut in front of others. We didn’t realize that there were only one line with this being our first time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Everything was good but our favorite was Cagney’s Steakhouse.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We didn’t do much of the activities on the ship other than I played bingo and went to one of the painting class. We did watch a couple of the basketball games on the big screen tv in SpiceH2o.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
We didn’t care for the shows but we did go to the Cirque Dreams and that was wonderful.

Children's Programs

We didn’t have any children with us.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Everyone was super nice and very friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the ship but of coarse this was our very first cruise so we don’t have anything to compare it to.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had a handicap cabin so it was very roomy.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5
We went to Kennedy Space Center a couple days before our cruise and it was fantastic.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

4 out of 5
It was wonderful and very relaxing

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

4 out of 5
The tour that we did was great and our tour guide Lisa was fantastic.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
The only that I didn’t like about our tour was it was cut short so we didn’t get as much time seeing the turtles that I would of liked but over all it was great. We got to hold a 6 month old turtle. After the tour was done we walked down to the Rock Cafe and had lunch and that was good and did some shopping.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Cozumel was great we just went walking checking out the stores and just had a great time. We did go on a horse carriage ride and that was great.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
The disembarked was pretty easy and quick.

Thanks for the review

The only issue I had was with cabin layout. I was a solo cruiser in a balcony, but if I was traveling with someone else, it could be awkward.
