Review summary

Nice holiday in the Mediterranean area. NCL always does it right for me

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth process. All done in 30 minutes with the waiting time for your corona test result

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
As always on NCL the food was good. Sometimes not 100% our taste but this is not the fault of NCL. Speciality dining not done

Entertainment

3 out of 5
What to say…. Priscilla was not played in our week which was a hughe disappointment for us. How at the moon was very good, but at the first 2 hours there were always no hype in the Audiance. The later the more drinks it was better. Band and DJ on the pooldeck were quite good. Except the glow party in spice h2o there was no really a party coming up.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Always nice and friendly. It sometimes felt there were 2 of the staff only for you due to the reduced capacity of travellers. Cabin steward was nice ☺️

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Inside of the ship was very good. On the outside they could have done more. Windows are very Dirty, floors are Dirty… it’s an old lady but could be more maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Nice cabin and very quiet. Directly under the bridge which makes it a bit darker, but I think if it is very sunny you will get the best shade ☺️

Ship tip

I would book the epic again. Love the ship. It is the only one In her class which makes her a bit unique

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5
Nice city but too big for one day. Excursion was good but long (10h with driving etc.) nice guide good lunch (3-course). The tour was „let’s take a selfie“

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Smooth and easy. The only problem ist with the new system where you have to scan your face (i think for recognition and Temperatur) it cost s bit more time than usual, but was still ok.

Thanks for the review! Going 9/22, and so hoping that some of the protocols are lessened by then!🤞

Thanks for your review. Looking to book a Mediterranean cruise sometime in 2023, hoping Covid will either be greatly reduced or some protocols relaxed by then.
