Ports very good, ship not so good

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Norwegian Epic

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

This was our 4th Norweigan ship and cruise. Out of 20 cruises sailed this was the worst ship we have ever been on. The venues for the shows were small, the layout of the ship was noisy, and the food was cold or overdone, more often than not. The entertainment was repeated and not that great of quality. A large casino , but prices of buyins were high so tables sat empty a lot. Speciality ...

This ship is very old and outdated. Poor condition, rust on bathroom wall and the balcony area. The interior was old and worn out and not very appealing as it was dark and dreary. While inside the ship during the day you felt like it was nightime. the food was just average with limited places to eat lunch or breakfast. The entertainment was just so-so and limited for a long 16 day cruise. The ...

We chose this cruise because it was a great price and we loved the ports prior to the transatlantic crossing. Here are some bullet points of our disappointment: When I entered my stateroom there was duct tape on the vent in the shower room and the toilet room. There was lots of rust all around the ship, including our balcony. There were ceiling tiles falling down in one of ...

My wife, a friend, and I just completed the 12 day Mediterranean Cruise on the Norwegian Epic which left out of Rome on November 8. My wife and I have been on NCL a couple of times in the past and had a great experience - wish I could say the same for this trip. The Epic can hold over 4500 passengers; but, there are only 2900 on board (just over 1/2 capacity). Below is a list of issues ...

We booked this cruise for my husbands 50th Birthday. Even though we had the unlimited beverage package we noticed there we were charges in my card everytime we ordered a drink. According to guest services it was a 10% European tax fee that every guest had to pay and it was not notified. After that, due to the amount of people complaining they put signs in every bar announcing the charge. They ...

I have cruised about tan times in the past 8 years with multiple cruise line companies. This was my third time cruising with Norwegian. NCL had good prices and had three perks (drinks, specialty dining, and $50 off excursions per cabin per day) that attracted me to the cruise. What they did not disclose were all of the hidden costs they would tack on. Even though you have a “free” drink package ...

Was on a cruise previously with Norwegian. The service was excellent then and we dicided to go with their bigger ship this time round. The service, food, restaurants, staff and entertainment (Leo in particular) all superb and would do again. Leo from the Philippines played the guitar and mouth organ in one of the bar areas and was absolutely top notch. His ability to remember people's names ...

My husband and I booked this cruise for our 25th wedding anniversary. We flew I to Rome two days before the cruise in order to decompress and explore a bit of Rome before embarking. Because I have mobility issues, we arrived at the port and I was provided a wheelchair and was processed immediately. Our cabin was also ready when we embarked. We stayed in a balcony on the forward side of the ship. ...

We cruised on the Epic from 30/05/23 to 08/06/23 from 'Rome' to 'Rome', stopping in Naples, Palma (Mallorca), Ibiza, Barcelona, Cannes and Livorno. We had previously cruised on the Epic transatlantic from Lisbon to NYC in December, and I had not planned to review this cruise. However, this cruise ended up differing quite a lot because of the changes brought forward by Norwegian in-between cruises ...

We chose this because we wanted to leave from Rome to see the sights there first. We hadn't been to Spain before so thought this would be a good itinerary. Boat was old, crew members seemed unhappy/unenthusiastic/upset. Many were pleasant but the overall vibe was not good. Other passengers noted similar sentiments. The steakhouse, churasscaria and French restaurants were the highlights of the ...
