Review summary

A very boring no fun at all ship with bad entertainment, bad food that made me sick. Terrible music at the clubs and bars just not a good selection of people either. overcrowded too many couples and no singles. Really was a complete waste of money and would never cruise with NCL ever again.

First we are NCL fans. We have food allergies and NCL is the only line we have been on where we did not have issues from the food. With that said the EPIC is the worst ship in NCL’s fleet. The commissioned 4 of this class built in France and only built the one. The design is so awful that even the employees hate the ship. When they bid for new contracts this is usually one of the last to fill up so most of the employees are newer. As dnchief1 stated it’s layout sucks. There is little outside area to wonder and get away from the 4000+ guests. We have sailed on her 2 times. Once for a family Christmas cruise and this last time for the southern Caribbean. We will not take a cruise on the EPIC ever again even if it was free.

Unfortunately I have been reading very similar reviews for NCL lately.

Most cruises are couples and families or groups. Want singles, go on a singles cruise. Sounds like another person who didn’t do their homework before going on a cruise.

Sure sounds like a fake review to me. Didn’t like anything, even the ports. If it is real, cruising is not for you!!!!!!!
