Review summary

The Haven experience on the Epic was a genuinely unique ship experience - a nicely appointed suite, great staff, and a calmness befitting a long cruise vacation. Whenever we ventured beyond, however, we found the layout, styling, food, and entertainment of the rest of the ship to be relatively mediocre. Overall, you can feel the age and quirkiness of the Epic.

We're NCL fans and now book full suites and Haven depending on the ship. We're taking the Epic transatlantic from Rome to Orlando October 2024. Looking forward to the experience. We also like Princess.

Wonderful itinerary. We like the Epic better on a port intensive itinerary. 2 sea days or more does work as well on this ship. We are an ncl fan.
