Bartenders in the Martini bar went out of their way to make specialty drinks for us. They were always friendly and entertaining.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Did not like the French style bathroom design with the toilet and shower separately as you enter the room. The sink was in front of the bed. A curtain was used to section off the bathroom. The spacing in the room was uncomfortable and cramped.

I don't understand why people complain about the layout of staterooms on the Epic. They're different but what's the problem? We have cruised on the Epic twice, and we chose it for our next 2 cruises.
