Review summary

This was the cruise with engine problems that took out part of the pier in San Juan. It was disappointing to miss our ports but felt NCL treated us well.

Embarkation

Very slow due to only 1 functional gang way. A delivery truck damaged the 2nd one. Oops

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Our cabin was fine. This was our 2nd time on the ship and knew what to expect. Having the mini suite worked out well for 4 travelers.

Ship tip

We enjoy this ship and crew. We missed all ports but received a full credit. Spent our time meeting new friends and relaxing. We have another cruise booked on the Epic for February 2021.

Disembarkation

This was awful. Delayed getting in and missed our flight which we expected due to the incident in San Juan however elevators were packed and had to put luggage down 8 decks.
