pe4all Posted April 8, 2014 #132 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Hi Sharon! Just wanted to mention how much I enjoyed reading your review. I will be booking the Epic for a Christmas week sailing in today or tomorrow. After 17 CCL cruises, I too have started to "wander." (though I have Splendor booked for Feb. 2015.) We did Breakaway last summer, and enjoyed the differences in CCL and NCL. We did Royal this past Christmas - wasn't exactly thrilled for the price we paid, and have NCL Gem booked for this August. I swore I'd never go on a "mega-ship" like Epic - I don't consider Breeze a mega-ship - but here I am about to pull the trigger. We loved the entertainment on NCL - especially Howl and 2nd city also. Looking forward to a great cruise after reading your review.:) Edited April 8, 2014 by pe4all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to a great cruise after reading your review.:) Thanks so much! Nothing wrong with wandering, in my mind :) We felt the Epic was a little too "mega" for us, but we did really enjoy our cruise. We met so many wonderful people. We'd love to go to Bermuda, and the Dawn will likely fit the bill nicely. We did not go to Second City and Howl at the Moon and I think we really missed out :( Enjoy the Epic and all of your cruises!

soccersharon Posted April 8, 2014 Author #135 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thanks so much for your review! It's a long time until our Epic cruise, but I am learning lots in the meantime!! My pleasure :) Part of the anticipation for me is reading reviews, and researching ports. Makes the time go quicker! Enjoy the countdown to the Epic...it's be here before you know it.

jenf22 Posted April 8, 2014 #136 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Thanks for the review. We're on the Epic for the first time for the Med next summer. We're booked in room 10082 so it's great to see that you liked it! Anything you wish you would have done onboard or would do differently? Oh, we'll have an 8-year old with us, so we can only do family things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, we'll have an 8-year old with us, so we can only do family things! I really liked this cabin. Close to stairs and elevators :) Enjoy! I can't say much about the kids' club (we left our older children at home). Perhaps a quick search of the boards would offer some answers. Sent from my mobile device. Typos are inevitable.

cjc3008 Posted April 10, 2014 #138 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hi Sharon Thankyou for your wonderful review of the Epic. I have just completed my first cruise on Spirit and am booked on the Epic in 6weeks!! I appreciated your tip to Google studio cabins/lounge now I cannot wait to try as they look really funky. As a single this cruise line really seems to address the issue of solo travelling. One question. On the Spirit there was the MDR called Windows but towards the end of my cruise I found a smaller MDR called the Garden Room both waiter service but I loved the latter one. Is there similar on the Epic so I can find it sooner !! This cruise is a tryout as I am taking the TA on her in Oct to visit my son rather flying so am really excited to get a feel for her first. Thankyou again for your honest review which many have enjoyed Carolyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou again for your honest review which many have enjoyed Carolyn Hi Carolyn, Thanks so much! My review seems to have found "new life" lately :) The Studio Lounge, and studio cabins are definitely perfect for solo travelers. NCL has done well by the solo traveler. I think you'll love it! There are 2 main dining rooms on the Epic: Taste (less formal), and the Manhattan Room (a little more formal). Generally, I believe the menu is the same. Here's a link to pretty good review of both: http://www.beyondships2.com/norwegian-epic-main-dining-rooms-review.html Enjoy your cruise and your visit with your son. A TA is definitely better than flying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
