Review summary
I chose Epic because it sails from San Juan and I wanted to save the plane trip. Overall I didn't like the ship display it was confusing and some of the restaurants where hidden. Small pools. Breakaway it is better by far. However the service of the crew was excellentEmbarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
La Cucina Italian Restaurant
Great food and beautiful restaurant but I don't understand why you have to go thru the buffet to access the main entrance
Cagney's Steakhouse
Great porterhouse and fries 😋 but was the slowest of all specialty restaurants
Great Outdoors
Too windy in the night, great place to sit and enjoy the salsa music
Atrium Bar
Best mojito's of the cruise and a quiet place to have a drink
The Manhattan Room
Great taste but slow service and small portions
Teppanyaki
Best experience in the specialty restaurants, excellent food and I enjoy how the chef cooks. You should go hungry
Sake Bar
You have to taste the Wasabi cocktail
O'Sheehans Neighborhood Bar and Grill
Best place to go any time breakfast, lunch or midnight munchies
Le Bistro
Great food and really fast service
Garden Cafe
The food is good however it is very small for so many people
Waves Bar
The busiest bar on the cruise, however, the waiters always tried to serve quickly. Don't forget to tip.😎

Ship tip
Try to learn how to get to your room before sail. Because after a couple of drinks it's harder to find it
