Let's start with the fact that I've never taken a cruise in my life, though it's been on my bucket list for about three years. After doing some research, I booked the Norwegian Escape for Jan 25th because between the solo cabins, the no set dining time, the fact that with free at sea I only have to spend $139 on drinks for the week, the water slides and ropes course, it seemed like a ship I would want to try. But then I found CC after I placed my deposit and all I've seen are posts saying that the line is going down hill and they've been miserable on their cruises. And when I look into RCL and Carnival, I find complaints there as well.

 

So, I ask, should I even bother trying cruising?

You will have a fantastic time! I'm a nine time NCl cruiser and never ever never did I find anything to complain about! Enjoy!

Wonder if the regular Aft and Haven aft are any different?

Yes the Haven Aft is much larger and more $$$

Just booked an aft-facing Balcony Cabin for March 2020.  My wife and I are eight time cruisers with NCL. Looking forward to the Ultimate Joy ride!

I'm hoping someone will be posting some Joy Aft cabin pictures soon.  I've tried googling, but can't find any yet.

I booked an aft on deck 15

There is no walking/jogging on the Epic. There is an area on Deck seven where you can walk back and forth by the lifeboats. Besides, I do weights. There's enough walking on this ship for cardio. 

There is a huge sports court on Epic, you could do weights, you could do some resistance training with your own body weight. Push ups, squats sit ups etc. then when the gym opens you could do more weight training. Enjoy the cruise life and cruises are short! 

Looks Like pretzel rolls are a huge favorite! I have been on 6 NCL Cruises but never saw the Pretzel rolls!

Will look for them in march on Breakaway! My favorite foods is the Pizza, Burgers Hot dogs, and the Breakfast potatoes, oh and yes.. a Screwdriver Tito's vodka from the bar!

I’ve been to Jamaica 4x Jamaica is not a very nice place, stay on board or within the tours. IN my Opinion.

If you go to a restaurant in Miami of course the government charge a tax.

One US dollar is about 50.00 Filipino dollar.

It’s SEA travel people! It can get very bumpy flying in an airliner as well, if an airliner hits turbulence do we ask for a refund? No! Norwegian always will look out for the safety of the passengers and the multi hundreds of millions dollars! If you don’t like the ocean , don’t cruise!

If you go to the Spa, they have heated stone lounge chairs on a nice balcony where you can see the ships wake!

I saw that Epic was recently in for a makeover in September 2015.

I was aboard in January 2015 and going back on in January 2018.

What has been changed/beautified?

GO FOR IT! Its awesome! 4 time Epic Cruiser!

Are they staying in the Haven Suite?

The pictures were magnificent! I enjoyed them immensely! Thank you!

I appreciate you posting this. Leaving on the Getaway Jan 10th, can't wait.

Leaving Jan 17th!

You'll have a great time on the Getaway, I had my first cruise on it as well!

The cards don't come with a lanyard, but I would recommend bringing one. Guest services will punch a hole into your card for you so you can wear it around your neck. I found that to be the best solution.

 

As for the UBP ... when you get your guest card at check-in, it will have a UBP sticker on it. Every time you order a drink, you hand over your card to the barkeeper, he'll swipe it and see from the sticker + the digital info that you are on the UBP. You will sign a slip for the drink, but you are not billed for it. The UBP is a lot of fun, try different drinks!

If you put it on a lanyard, be careful when you go into the pool. Last Time I did that on the Epic all of the ink on the card washed off, had to go to guest services and have it replaced.

I used to go to LaCucina and sitthere for breakfast from the Buffet
