Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was very attentive, made sure our stay was amazing!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The layout of the Epic was a little different than what we're used to from NCL. All areas were clean though.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This cabin was by far the best we've had so far, very roomy and comfortable! It will be challenging to go back to smaller cabins.

Ship tip

Stay in the Haven, for sure!!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

It was easy to get to from the airport. We did not do any excursions here.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

4 out of 5
Very nice beach, just hung out and had lunch.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Nice port, easy to walk around on your own.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
Time here was a little short, we love Magen's Bay but did not feel we would have enough time to travel there and back. Walked around the shops a bit.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
The lunch at the resort was nice, the courses took a long time which made our beach/pool time limited.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth process, especially with priority status.

Once you have done the haven it’s hard to go back to a regular cabin. Hubby and I did the haven courtyard and loved it.
