Review summary

I wouldn't recommend this ship didn't like the layout of the rooms. Its seems we ate the same food everyday unless you went to the speciality resturants food was good service was slow. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room steward went above and beyond.

I have to agree on Norwegian. I'm Platinum Plus and probably will not go on them again. I still have cruise deposit on them.

Interesting, been thinking about Norwegian. But after seeing so many negative reviews, maybe we should stick with Carnival. So far they have been great.

Going to be on the Epic next month this will be my 5th NCL cruise. I already know the room is queer at best, but isn't that part of the adventure? Can't wait to check it out!

I was on this ship a couple of years ago and will never sail on her again. Have to agree with the poster. Have sailed 28 times and this was the worst.

I love NCL and always enjoy cruising. Big out of all their ships Epic is my least favourite.

Interesting. I have friends who were on the same cruise and loved it. It was their first time on NCL and they were impressed with the ship, food and entertainment.
