Review summary

Great first cruise and everyone was great. We are now hooked on cruising and Norwegian has our business.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and efficient. Was on the ship within 15 minutes of arrival at terminal.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All the food was top notch. Some bars mixed better drinks then others but once I found my favorite all was well.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
What we were able to use was great. Lots of options but my choice of season meant no pools for me.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Most of the shows and music were great but a couple things seemed tired and not the best. Overall still great. The Epic Beatles were a blast.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We were treated very well by all. From room steward to the bar staff.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The Epics cabin bathroom setup is notorious but for a married couple it was no issue. Some of the ship could use some refreshing but still a great ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was top notch. Large balcony really added a bunch of extra room for activities.

Ship tip

Get the Old Fashioned at Maltings.

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
Enjoyed our time in Barcelona. Plenty to see and do if you have free time.

Naples, Italy

4 out of 5
Sorrento was great and the Pizza was amazing. Naples is not the cleanest of cities though

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
Rome and the Vatican were great but hard to fit so much into such little time. Still enjoyed it

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Florence was amazing.

Cannes, France

4 out of 5
Excursion to Monaco was enjoyable. Cannes seemed nice enough. Tender process was iverallbsmooth

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
Just walked around the city near the cathedral. Nice tim

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Even though we took an excursion with transfer the mob getting off the ship at the same time was a bit ridiculous. But we made our way off the ship found the bags and toured Barcelona before the trip home.
