Norwegian Epic Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This is our 13th cruise but our first with Norwegian. Other than some cabin issues we have a fabulous time. The food was great, the staff was wonderful, the shows were awesome, the casino was nice and everything on the ship was easy to find. I personal would do this cruise again. Hopefully all of Norwegian's ships do not have that capsule design bathroom set up. That would be a bummer.

This was our first NCL ship overall I would give this ship a 5 out of 10 due to the ship and ports of call. It was disappointing to have to pay to get off the boat and be shuttled to an area where you can walk around. Most of the ports you had to drive far to visit most of the places that was worth seeing from the port. Being freestyle food in the buffet was always cold by the time you sat down to eat due to trying to find a seat. Room service is not free even for a suite. No iron to iron cloths in your own room, you have to call and then wait to have them bring one up and then you only have it for 1 hr. Very inconvienent for the amount of money you spend.

Disappointed that you have to pay to be shuttled off to a main area from the port after paying all that money for the cruise you would think they could offer free shuttling to bring you to an area that you can walk around. We would not do NCL again, we will stick with Royal Caribbean they treat their vacationers much better and

This was a fabulous vacation. It exceeded my expectations. It was a trip of a lifetime for my sister and I.

Excelllant cruise. The weather was perfect. The ship is large but never had a problem. The only problem is the main theater is to small.

We absolutely love the cruise. We wish we had booked a longer cruise, did not want to leave. We had so much fun.

Food was not the best. I expected better quality in specialty restaurants.

Not a friendly cruise staff 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑

This was the best vacation ever!! Can’t wait to do it again!!

Excellent cruise ship and great time to go to the Mediterranean. Lots to do onboard and off ship. You will be as busy as you want to be. Choose what you want or relax.

I would recommend this to anyone visiting the Mediterranean as a short but sweet cruise. You can search ahead and find really great deal on airfare then match this cruise to the dates. The best month is October.

We had a great time on our cruise. The entertainment and food were amazing! We will definitely cruise with Norwegian again.

This was our second cruise with NCL, though I read some mixed reviews about the ship, the service and the food, I believe those were a little harsh. For such a large ship they did an excellent job with the layout of the ship to never make it feel crowded. We never had to wait at any of the restaurants or bars. In fact the bartenders (we noticed they rotated to different locations) would remember us, and know our drinks. The food was great, and we did not bother with the paid restaurants. We only ate at Manhattan, Taste, O'Sheehan (which was great when you just wanted pub fare) and the buffet. All the servers in the restaurants were very friendly as well. The entertainment was enjoyable. We saw all of the shows except for the Cirque show. We elected not to do this show as we'd rather put our funds towards excursions. The ports were fantastic. we did book our excursions through ItalyTours.EU, City Wonders and BarcelonaDayTours. I would recommend all 3 companies for their hospitality. I had read negative reviews about the rooms. When we book a cruise we know from experience we only sleep and shower in our room, so as long as its clean and the bed comfy we really don't care. When we got to our room I was shocked how big the room was. Talking with our steward we had been put in a handicap room that was considerably larger than the other cabins. Overall this was a trip of a lifetime!!!

Loved the fact we were at a port almost every day. We loved the ports Norwegian stopped at. The food was good and the people were nice on Norwegian.

I was a bit hesitant to cruise on such a large ship. I envisioned having to stand in long lines for everything, but it was the complete opposite. NCL logistics are terrific.

The cruise ship and experience was nice, the destinations were amazing which is why we took this cruise. However, the water temperature in our shower in our Mini-Suite was so finicky that at times it was difficult to shower. It was either scalding hot or just plain cold. Despite us mentioning it to the front desk 3 times and the plumber came out once. We never got our champagne that we were supposed to get for being latitude members despite us mentioning it twice. The entertainment shows were limited. They only had 2 shows. On our other NCL cruise we took in the past, had different shows every night and a variety.

Just wanted to give you some honest feedback about the trip It was the worse cruise we have ever been on. The ship itself was beautiful, food and drinks were great but the service was absolutely horrible from the Epic. There were so many administrative errors in terms of billing and credit card authorizations (including unauthorized charges to our rooms) that we had 3 families (rooms) spending at least 12 to 16 hours over at guest services correcting these errors. They absolute worse was my cabin was flooded the whole week resulting in mould! She had to take prednisone during the trip because her lungs were in very bad shape as a result of the moisture and mould. My other sister had to take out a round of antibiotics as soon as we left the boat and landed on Barcelona.  I don’t think I can ever recommend Norwegian or your agency going forward. Really disappointed that our families spent combined over 60K on this trip and we would have had a better experience on a 3 star cruise like carnival or a 5 star Mexican resort. Truly disappointed.  too much $$ spent on such a 1 Star travel experience.  I hope my parents (who celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary) are not as disappointed.  Regards  John Zagala Cell (416) 276

The Cruise was great and staff was friendly. The ship was clean with some activities for everyone. Not the fun ship but my overall experience was great. My very first cruise in the early 80’s was with NCL, had a great time then but one was even better. I would definitely cruise with NCL again.

It was a experience, albeit a whirlwind. Although the ship is in port almost 12 hours a day in most places, the actual excursion cities are quite a distance from the port (except Barcelona) giving you less time than you think to explore. Nevertheless, you will undoubtedly have an amazing experience and visit iconic and often once in a lifetime sites.

Great trip beautifull pleaces to visit, ship was great good food great service nice staff all over was a great vacation
