Norwegian Epic Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was my first cruise and I can't wait to book my next one. I will definitely choose Norwegian again.

The ship was enormous! Even though, it was fairly easy to find our way around. My favorite stop was the \"Ice Bar.\" After a hot day in Rome that ice cold room with cold drinks served in cone shaped ice glasses was the best. One thing I didn't like so much was the huge screen at the back of the boat because it cut out the view when departing the piers. The internet was so slow, also...it was a real waste of money, actually. The food was okay, not the best I've had on a cruise, but it did the job. The crew did not seem happy at all, and seemed stressed out or something...The rooms had kind of a weird set up. The bathroom and shower were in the entrance, but were kind of see-through glass, and in separate spaces. You could pull a curtain across but it just did not seem very private. I am usually a very positive person, so it's kind of surprising to me to have to be writing a review like this...

Large cabins and tasteful decor

We enjoyed this cruise overall, but there were some negatives such as the lack of privacy of the bahrooms, smoke on balcony and less entertainment options.

It was a beautiful ship. We loved our room and the view from our balcony. It was a lil crowded during meals, but the food was great. Loved the shopping on board and the atmosphere was always fun.

The ship was immaculate, staff were exceptionally friendly and the decor was contemporary.

An excellent vacation. Great service and great food in a great ship. However the cabin layout it's a little weird .

I have been on many cruises and this one was on of my favorites. Great stops, great food, great shows, great staff, great everything....

EL CONCEPTO DE ESTE CRUCERO ES EXCELENTE. NOS LA PASAMOS MUY BIEN. LOS SERVICIOS SON MUY BUENOS, MAS SIN EMBARGO LA ATENCION ES MUY VARIABLE YA QUE HAY EXCELENTE TRATO DE ALGUNOS Y OTROS RESULTARON MUY APATICOS. LOS ALIMENTOS DE INIGUALABLE CALIDAD, CANTIDAD Y HORARIOS. ESTARIA MUY BIEN QUE LAS BEBIDAS LAS INCLUYERAN DENTRO DEL PLAN. EL CONCEPTO DE LOS TOBOGANES MUY BUENO, MAS SIN EMBARGO LAS ALBERCAS MUY DEFICIENTES Y LIMITADAS. IMPOSIBLE PODER METERSE A NADAR. EL CLUB PARA NIOS NO LO PUEDO VALORAR PERSONALMENTE, PERO MIS HIJOS NO QUISIERON REGRESAR YA QUE DIJERON QUE SE ABURRIERON DEMASIADO. LOS SHOWS Y ESPECTACULOS TAMBIEN DE MUY BUENA CALIDAD Y EN GENERAL NOS LA PASAMOS MUY PERO MUY BIEN. RECOMENDABLE.

We were very pleased with all aspects of the Epic. The room was quite nice for a cruise ship cabin, especially the shower, which was surprisingly large. Loved having the balcony, which was also well-sized for a cruise ship. The buffet food was decent; the sit-down restaurants (both the included ones and the specialty) were excellent. We were also pleased with the entertainment that we saw, which included the Blue Man Group, Howl at the Moon, and several of the \"game show\" style shows at the Atrium. Our only gripe about the entire experience was the obnoxious kids who insisted on running down the hallway through the cabin area at night.

This is our 9th cruise. This was the best ship we have ever been on.

The Epic is an impressive ship with an impressive crew.

Overall the cruise was fun, good experience and nice ports to stop at. Don't be afraid to get on a train in Naples and Cannes, you see way more than paying for an excursion. Definitely do an excursion in Rome, we did the Vatican tour had a blast, just only a few minutes to shop which was a bummer. The Pisa excursion is a must, better than Florence but all on what you want to see. Livorno, Naples and Marseille are kind of sketchy not much to see. We were on our honeymoon and first time cruisers in Europe this is a great way to see beautiful places and definitely stay in Barcelona for a few days, the food and city is wonderful!

the entertainment and food was outstanding as were the service.

Get rid of Blue Man Group. Get local entertainmment. Move Spanish Dancers to better location. You can only see their heads if you aren't in the first couple of rows.

Overall good cruise. Need to work on selection of good food other than restaurants that charge extra. Need to improve quality of entertainment. Blue Man Group is terrible. Howl at the Moon is very good. Spanish Dancers are good but don't have adequate area to perform in.

Overall a great cruise. It would be better if ship stayed in Rome 2 days. Not long enough to see Rome. Very nice ship. Onboard entertainment should be improved. The Blue Man Group is terrible. Only person in our group that liked it was the 11 year old. Other 3 kids didn't even like it. More local entertainment would be better.

Very impressive structure. I have been on many other cruises and was skeptical of the ships size and number of passengers. It was easy to get around the ship. Elevators were always available and fast unlike many other smaller older ships. Great entertainment venues abound.

We recently sailed on the Norwegian Epic. We really liked the freestyle cruising. The Blue man group show was great. Our son had a great time in pool and water slides. The shore excursions were great but very tiring. We found ourselves wishing for an At Sea Day to rest. Our stateroom was great with a very nice layout with the sink and shower separate. Lots of hidden storage spaces made it easy to unpack and fell like there was a place for everything. Overall we have to say the ship was really impressive, the staff was wonderful as always.

There are better options. The food was not very good and extremely repetitive. The my time dining is a joke because there's always a wait to eat in the main dining hall. They charge you for alot of things they shouldn't such as bowling, ice bar, and coffees. The 2 pools are pittifully small. While there are a few hot tubs, they're all overcrowded. The ports they took us to were no where near where we wanted to be. For example, Rome which is near the water was a 2 hour drive from wherever we docked. There is a first class area for people who book suites that is not open to anyone else on the boat (thus I never even saw it), but it's a steep upgrade in price. Standard room with a balcony was so tiny. All in all, there are better options.
