Veteran Royals are NCL 'Virgins' on an Epic adventure

Review of our NCL Epic westbound transatlantic crossing 4th – 17th November 2018 

 

Background  

 

We’re Peter & Patrick from Manchester U.K. who began cruising back in 2004. We sailed exclusively with Royal Caribbean for 11 years and then started to widen our choices to include Celebrity, MSC, Cunard, P&O and NCL. This was our 4th TA, our 3rd westbound (RCI - Liberty 2011, Celebrity Eclipse 2017 & now NCL Epic 2018). Our only eastbound was with RCI (Adventure in 2014) but we have another 2 eastbound booked for April 2019 (RCI Oasis) & March 2020 (P&O)!

 

I have compiled a review that I thought maybe of interest to anyone thinking of trying NCL.

 

Although we have sailed with various lines since our 11 years of sailing exclusively with RCI, I am not prepared to say who our preferred cruise line anymore is as this invariable leads to arguments on CC. 

 

I have also published this on the NCL board.
