NCL will never be a favorite but we had a good Western Caribbean cruise . Wonderful weather, great stops , fun people and getting away from the northern cold. What could be bad .We booked an all inclusive through Sunwing vacations which included flights , transfers and an unassigned balcony . The package did not include any of NCL's free offers .All went smoothly . We were thrilled to receive a great midship cabin location 11170 .

Ship

The ship is in good shape but very crowded . The passenger to space ratio was horrible and what space there is ,is often reserved for Haven, private beach or other revenue producing areas like the spa . It seems everything that doesn't produce revenue is cramped . Corridors , pools theaters etc are all small for a ship this size . It does have lots of fun activities like water slides, rock climbing and a rope course . Somewhat limited hours . Our favorite area on the Epic , Spice/H2O , was unusable due to the fact that more than half was a smoker's location . The giant screen there was very poor . Deck 8 was great with outdoor bars and seating for many of the upcharge restaurants . Read more
