Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food and drink on the epic were awesome. Every resteraunt had excellent food choices, the free and paid places were also very good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Great slides, pools were small. Rock climbing could not be done due to wind. The big slide is very good but the number of available tubes made the lines very large.

Slow and full of chaos. I had a credit on my onboard account and instead of sending it back to my credit card, they made me wait 2+ hours in a single finance line to get money back , else they would not let us off the ship
