We liked it for we were able to carry our luggage on board ourselves and do the same when we could depart once we docked in Miami. We were able to get off the ship early.

Book all your dinner and entertainment ahead of time during sea day. If you wait during the cruise to do it your chances our less to have the desire day. If you choose Jamaica excursion to Ocho Rio purchase your water shoes on site they cost ten dollars less and you will get a Jamaica design shoes

Book the dining packages ahead of boarding. We got an excellent deal on the specialty restaurants. There was a limited amount of the ultimate dining package but it was so worth it

Beware of the smoke in gambling area on Deck 6. There's other dining/entertainment on this level, so you may want to go up/down a level if you don't want to gag while going from one end to other. Yuk.

If you eat at the buffet, take your food to the fwd end of the ship and go downstairs to eat at La Cucina - much quieter! Also, be prepared to walk stairs or wait long times for elevators. I wore my fitbit and averaged 17,000 step a day!

I really liked the "Taste" Restaurant and "Cirque".

Stay in The Haven. Have dinner at 9 PM and you can enjoy any specialty restaurant without a wait. Go the Howl AT The Moon - dueling piano players that take requests from the audience. It is very enjoyable.

For best selection and small lines eat early. We had no problems by following this approach.

Don't get the front extra large balcony rooms - you have a steel bulkhead blocking your view. The Capri Island of Romance, Ultimate Rome and Taste of Tuscany tours were great.

Reserve for the Blue Man group and the Circus BEFORE the cruise. Places are limited and fill up very fast

Some of the excursions fill up fast, so it pays to decide early about what you want to do.

We took the tour of the ship offered early in the afternoon of the day we boarded the ship. It took less than an hour, but really helped us learn our way around the ship very easily and quickly. We recommend taking it and its free.

The Epic is HUGE, which is good because you don't keep seeing the same people over and over again. However you will do a lot of walking.

Can't think of anything.

My advice is to get a room near the middle of the ship since it's a really long way from front to back. And make sure you're clear on the type of room you expect.

Pre-book specialty dinners! You can go to the shows more than once. We went to three different Second City Shows and Blue Man Group twice.

too large for us

As soon as you book, go to the web page and make reservations for things you want to do.

The epic is a great ship. The only drawback was not having any space on the side decks to lounge and have a drink or dinner. The only place you could really relax outside was up on the pool decks
