Embarkation
2 out of 5
Unfortunately not a good experience embarking. I purchased priority boarding and when I arrived at my time slot there were at least 2000 people waiting on line. I was told there was no priority boarding however after going up to the front of the line to ask again they did let me in just to sit in a room with everyone else. I asked agin what the priority boarding was for and was told that there was nothing they could do. I asked for supervisor who finally let us board.

Club room was a great choice. Had a bigger shower/tub. Plenty of storage and Decor was lovely
Loved this port. Tip if u so not want to climb up hiss to town do not take first taxi as you come off. At bottom of hill prior to the climb half the cost. Also take ride on small boats around bay. Beautiful.
Took taxi to Pompei. Tip. Do not take taxi that jumps on you as soon as you leave ship. They wanted $150. Walked 1 block away and taxi offered $100 for the same round trip and 2 hours there. Go early and still have time for Pizza and see Naples
Took train to Nice and then stopped in Antibes. Both beautiful but would have liked to spend more time in Antibes. Amazing place Tip. There are 2 train lines. Make sure you buy the right ticket for the time you want to go. We ended up having to buy 2nd ticket or wait for an hour for other train.
I was on the Epic the same time as you were. We were waiting for two hours until Daniel the cruise director came down and told us what was going on. If you remember there was a very bad rain storm that passed by, I extremely high winds. The gangway blew off and they had to stop disembarking. They had about 3000 passengers to disembark. From what we heard they had to take employees from all over to help. It was a slow process. It in the end the cruise was a wonderful cruise. Staff was great.
We disembarked the Epic the day of your arrival. We could not get of untill noon and it was total chaos onboard. We also enjoyed the Epic as you did. Thank you for your review.
