I’m on it right now, and it’s literally falling apart. The engines blow soot flakes all over the top deck and there are bad paint jobs all over outside and literally tape patched holes in our cabin. Considering the number of vile passengers on the ship, I guess NCL sees no need to pay for a dry dock. Never again for us - on the Epic or out of San Juan.

I enjoyed the Epic and had a great cruise. I will admit the roo.s are a little odd, especially if cruising with others in same cabin, but if you had that miserable experience, then cruising probably isn't for you.

I was on the Epic in May, departing from Barcelona. It was wonderful! The Thermal Spa was amazing, as was the food and amenities. Was probably one of my favorite ships this far.

Wow. This is your first cruise? The Epic has some of the larger rooms in the NCL fleet. I've cruised on 5 different NCL ships and the Epic so far has been my favorite.
