We have cabin 8138 booked on escape for January 2016. When do you have it booked? Would love to know if it is the same as getaway and breakaway.

Loved your review! Thank you for taking the time and providing great info. Glad you had a great time.

We had a large balcony cabin on NCL Epic and we asked the cabin steward for 2 loungers, tipped him $10 and he had them there in about 15 minutes. Best $ we ever spent!

I looked at his web site and he is on getaway until early June. My husband is thrilled that he will be on our sailing! Check him out on utube.

A long time ago I saw a board, I believe it is under the roll call boards called disabled cruising and there was a woman on there that cruised with her guide dog all the time. She was very informative. You might try to find that board. I hope that helps.

If you want to see South Beach leaving Miami then Port is the best side. However, the best side is starboard when leaving st. Maarteen and st. Thomas.

Yes I installed the app and started the countdown clock and the same thing kept happening to me. I finally deleted the app and will install closer to sail date.

Check as much as you want with the baggage guys. Put a room tag on it and it will show up with your luggage. We always drive to the Miami port and we take a case of water and between then 2 of us it is always gone before the end of the cruise. Can also do the same thing with sodas.

Yes, Epic has the old 4 cup coffee maker. We took our own 4 cup filters and coffee with us. We love coffee and it worked out perfectly. We set it up the night before with coffee and water and all we had to do was hit the button in the morning. PERFECT!

On our 1st cruise with NCL I lost a pair of designer sunglasses and thought for sure that they were gone forever but they were at lost and found. I was so thankful to the person who turned them in so there are still good people that do the right thing.
On our most recent trip in November on the Epic we were in the garden cafe and noticed there was a purse hanging on the back of a chair so we told one of the attendants. He brought his supervisor over to take the purse to lost and found. I really hope that the rightful owner got it back by going to the right place to pick it up.
I still believe that most people are honorable but there is the occasional bad apple and I am sorry that your husband had that "guy" cross his path.

We were on this past Thanksgiving cruise on the Epic and made reservations to LeBistro for Thanksgiving. They offered the traditional thanksgiving dinner there although we did not have it. However, we were very glad that we made our reservations prior to the cruise because just as we suspected several people told us they waited 2 hours to get into the main dining rooms. We had a very quiet romantic dinner with some of the best wait staff we have encountered.
ENJOY!

When we were on the Thanksgiving week cruise they had it set up for karaoke. VERY disappointing!
-
On the Epic Thanksgiving week they had turkey sausage in the buffet and in the main dining room. It was very good.

We were on the Epic Thanksgiving week and there was not one college football game. We put hotspot on my husbands phone so that we could watch the noon game on my ipad while sitting in the port of Miami before we sailed. As soon as you get on the ship you must use their Wifi, even on boarding day. We were very disappointed. We made a decision not to sail during football season again. I know it seems extreme but it made for a very unhappy start to the cruise.
We finally got the college scores at the first port of call when we went to the Hard Rock in St Martin with iPad in toll. Free internet with purchase.

We had 11096 b6 balcony recently. 2 chairs and 2 loungers with small table. We loved it. It was close to elevators and easy to go to garden buffet for breakfast. Also, the bed was by balcony....PERFECT!

We have been on the Epic twice. We cruised the 1st time the week before Thanksgiving last year and this time Thanksgiving week. The Thanksgiving cruise was so crowded compared to the non thanksgiving week and you really needed to be very patient when doing anything on the ship. However, we did find the crew friendlier on this most recent cruise. Our cabin steward on deck 11 forward, David, was the best we have had on Any line. We were in a large balcony cabin and asked for an extra lounge chair and he had it there in 10 minutes. he was very efficient.
We knew that Thanksgiving week would be crowded because we have cruised at least 5 times on various lines during that week and we were not disappointed in any way. We had a very enjoyable cruise and would love to sail the Epic again but will be trying the Getaway next.

On our Thanksgiving week cruise they kept showing soccer. ESPN must have been on the international channel because all week it was soccer and cricket. There wasn't even a crawl at the bottom of the screen with scores or anything. Will never cruise during football season again.
-
We were on the Epic Thanksgiving week and we were prepared for it to be crowded and not as good service wise as our cruise last year on the Epic which was the week before Thanksgiving. We were pleasantly surprised. The service was excellent and the staff was personable and always smiling. We enjoyed our trip just as much as last year. Yes, it was crowded but we went with a good attitude and that helped. If anyone has any questions i will try to answer as best I can.

Very nice review...Thank you!

Who is the current entertainment in Fat Cats Jazz bar? That was our favorite bar late night the first time that we went. Can't wait, going again in a few weeks!

I am enjoying your review very much. We are thinking about a European 20 year wedding anniversary cruise. Your planning is incredible. You got the most out of each and every day and had a trip of a life time!

I have read hundreds of reviews. Yours is unbelievably GREAT! I loved the wonderful descriptions of the food, drinks and wine. I don't understand the logic with them not sharing the wine info at the pairing dinner, I thought that was the whole idea. I would have been upset.
Thanks for taking the time to share your vacation with all of us cruise junkies! Much Appreciated.

I've read all of your reviews and loved them all! Keep up the good work and I hope something comes to you in the way of a free lance photography career because it is much deserved. Will be patiently waiting for the Breeze review....
I missed my early flight because...
