Hope you enjoyed our perspective on what we liked and didn't like about the Norwegian Epic. What do you think of those cabin bathrooms?

[@jimloth6091]

I really don't think this is the ship, probably not the line, for us. Thanks for the insight - always helpful!

[@Travelsheesh]

what a fun cruise. I really love the water park area and pool side. The food looks amazing and ambiance is so refreshing. One must really explore these cruises to have wonderful time while travelling. Your detailed review is always helpful for all the people who are planning for cruises.

[@AmaiwanTraveler]

Great breakdown of the pros and cons! I've been curious about the Norwegian Epic and your insights really help. Looking forward to more cruise tips from you!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks so much! We have 2 cruises booked so will be sharing more.

[@KJFTravelAdventures]

Honest and fair review. We have only done Norwegian once for an Alaskan cruise but this ship looks pretty awesome.

[@paradise-adventures]

Wow the pool deck looks great. A great place to cool down and take in some sun. The food looks amazing too. With so many on these cruises cues to get to things would be expected I guess.

[@TripsCultureTC]

It's always interesting to have this kind of feedback to prepare or make decisions for a cruise. For example, I would be impatient if I had to wait several minutes each time for a drink. Thank you for this useful information.

[@rogerraines1796]

Great review. I was on Epic back in January and loved how it handled rough seas. Booked again when it returns to Florida in the fall. Agree with your view of Spice H2O as I still remember my sunburn.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks! They definitely need some umbrellas or something for shade back there! I'd cruise on Epic again 👌

[@ashlynngalluzzo1589]

Thank you for the pros and cons.we found on our last cruise on the encore the boat was at capacity and we had a lot of lines too.

[@KayandGogo]

Agree the pool deck is lovely. Food honestly looked delicious 😋 Another great review 👏

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks so much! I think Gogo would love the food options.

[@vickisworldtravel]

Great information, thanks for sharing. I am still yet to do a cruise but I can see one coming 👏

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy if you do go 👏

[@javierfernandoagudelogomez1794]

as always, a very informative video, thank you so much

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks for watching!

[@mariokarthero1997]

I'm not one to normally consume travel content, but I decided to check your channel out after Mr. Sujano recommended your channel. Safe to say I've grown to liking the content and decided to subscribe!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks so much for the support!! We appreciate it 🙌

[@MrSujano]

The bathroom layout was super weird

[@TheAverageTourist]

Yes very odd... my least favourite cruise bathroom.

[@JuanCarlos-tw9sk]

All stuff and no fluff😂

[@TheAverageTourist]

100%

[@rightrecipefortravel]

Great review. Norwegian has some really good entertainment and food options. That bathroom is a joke. Standing in lines makes it feel like an amusement park-no bueno.

[@KitatheExplorer]

This was a great rundown on the pros and cons of this ship. I remember that bathroom during your cabin tour which is definitely odd and a major con for me unless I’m traveling solo. And I wonder if the long lines are a norm or what. That can definitely put slight damper on the day waiting in a queue.

[@RachaelMartin]

Thanks for sharing! 😄

[@rkenzie5235]

Yay! I’m taking the Epic around the Med in August!! 😊

[@TheAverageTourist]

Hope you have a great time!

[@carolkinnard5347]

Good luck!

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

I like that you're positive throughout the whole video. The pool and slides look awesome. If it wasn't so crowded. So much good food. Adults only area? Thank God. A bummer that they didn't space things out for the adults.

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Btw not sure if I said it yet but, congrats on 25k! You guys are popping off.

[@StepsbyKaatje]

It sounds like the cruise was a succes. Great you always could find a spot outside to sit. 😊 Waiting in line for food, that's no Fun...

[@shalinitravellife]

Very informative video, thank you!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Happy to share!

[@AndysWorldJourneys]

interesting mix of pluses and minuses i have to admit i think the crowds would be really off putting for me the place looks packed! although the food options do look really good!

[@rivervisual7802]

I just booked a cruise in December on the Epic

[@TheAverageTourist]

Have a great time!

[@onthego41]

We are taking the Jade on September. Hopefully, it is different than this. Our first using NCL.

[@TheAverageTourist]

It is much different. We cruised on the Jade in 2017. Bathroom situation is way better and we found things to be laid out better laid in general. Have a great cruise!

[@richardg8651]

It's been a while since we were on Epic. The biggest change seems to be more extra charge venues and a redone pool deck. The separated bathrooms were different and its an ugly ship but neither mattered to us. Long line-ups are standard for NCL.

[@TheAverageTourist]

We still had a great time!

[@jameshchetwyndjr9739]

I would agree Epic food very good, specialty food totally assume Yes bathroom a think some don’t like Will book again

[@TheAverageTourist]

I'd book it again too if there was a good itinerary with it. 👌

[@jlawrence0181]

Was on the Epic for a seven day Southern Caribbean cruise out of Puerto Rico. Here is why I would never cruise it again. 1) All entertainment options are small for the size of ship making it difficult to see shows. 2) No staff at most entertainment options to ensure people don't save seats. 3) Terribly unhappy crew. We saw few employees smiling. 4) Would not sit people together. 5) Varirty of food in the buffet was mediocre.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Definitely our least favourite shipmfrom all our cruises and all fair points. We did find the ship quite "crammed" in the common and entertainment areas.

[@georgeg.7124]

Thanks for the video. The bathroom design is terrible.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Happy to share! It was very odd!

[@theplanelife4097]

That bathroom is a deal breaker for me.

[@TheAverageTourist]

It's certainly not for everyone!

[@Explorcation]

The bathroom layout HAD to make the dislikes list 😆 we have been eyeing some Epic sailings but haven't booked anything yet 😁

[@TheAverageTourist]

Haha yes that bathroom was something else! I'd still cruise on the epic again... for a good itinerary!

[@Explorcation]

@@TheAverageTourist we still would too :)

[@carolkinnard5347]

We just went on the Norwegian Epic...We will never travel on it again. Negatives: Really crowded and absolutely noisy. Food was a disappointment. The Ice Bar was so crowded, actually wall to wall and all the seats were taken. We left after one minute (without being served) and they charged us for the tax. Positives: room was ok and staff members were very helpful.

[@TheAverageTourist]

We found the ship to be very crowded as well... lines everywhere for everything. We did have a much better Ice Bar experience though, so that's too bad they had it so packed on your visit.
