Spring Crossing?

[bzv143]

Anyone already completed a Spring (April) crossing on the Epic? If so, can you answer some burning questions:

1) how full is the ship?

2) bumpy?

3) can you be out on balconies and/or by the pool without getting icicles on your nose or blown off the ship?

4) would you do it again? :D

Thanks!

we did last year!!

 

 

it was chilly on deck after the first few days out of Miami....some laid out in swimsuits but not many-although we did lay out in our shorts and it wasn't too bad....

 

 

our sailing was only half full...we lucked out though-a large group cancelled about a week before we sailed....

 

our sailing was very smooth-the captain said it was the smoothest crossing he has ever done...one day, the water was like glass....

 

YES absolutely we would do it again!!! :) Loved the Epic!!

Pretty much ditto to this. We went in 2011 and then stayed on for the itinerary in Europe. Ship was abut half full and the weather was like this poster described. We've crossed in April on the Epic, Gem, and Jewel of the Seas. The latter two had stops other than just the Azores which was nice. Lots of time on the Epic to enjoy the shows.

Forgot to say, this was the one cruise I could talk DH into the spa package. It was well worth it. Beautiful spa plus outside weather not great after you get away from Miami.
