We like bands relaxing in the lounge with drinks i agree the entertainment seems more abundant on Epic . Just concerned about such a big ship 1st time cruising

Back in Oct 2010, my husband and I took our very first cruise, it was on the Epic. It was amazing, we to are in our early 50s and were celebrating our 25th anniversary. Since then, we have sailed the Epic again in Nov 2012 and our booked on the Breakaway in January 2014.

I have never sailed the smaller ships, but in my humble opinion you can not go wrong with the Epic, the choses of entertainment, and food options are abundant. You can do as little as you want or as much as you want. Was always able to find a quiet spot to read if we just wanted to chillax or there was always something going on if you wanted to be entertained.

No matter what ship you chose, sit back and enjoy the experience.

The other option you might consider is what we are doing in a few weeks. We also rented a car from sixt to get around for the 2 days prior to our Epic cruise. We are picking the car up at the airport, but are returning it to the south beach location at no additional charge. That way we only have a 10 minute taxi ride. Hubby is going to drop me at the port with the luggage and then take the car back. No hassle of dealing with getting luggage into a cab.

Can anyone tell me if this is only available to the Apple app store in the US. Have tried to search in the Canadian app store for Norwegian iconceirge and it came up NO MATCH. If you search NCL the only appt that comes up is SHIP MATE.

Call me a loser, but I am not sailing for another year, and I am starting to get giddy. My husband and I will be sailing with another couple, and whenever we get together, it seems to always be a topic of discussion. So I guess there is no set time for when a person gets giddy over a cruise.
