massfamilyof4 Posted September 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2019 We are considering upgrading to a mini suite. The cost would be about $400. Do you think it would be worth it? Any advice would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookie848 Posted September 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Unless you want to be mid-ship to avoid being sea sick, there is no reason to be mid-ship on the Epic. The elevators/stairs are forward and aft, so it is more convenient if you are closer to one end or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minisuites have a "tub sized" shower stall vs. a fairly narrow "transporter tube" shower stall. Same is true of the toilet stall on the opposite wall (something the size of an airplane toilet vs. something you can stretch your legs out a bit). Remember, on the Epic, there is no bathroom. Just the two stalls on opposite walls and the tiny sink at the foot of the bed. As we have got older and less flexible, we always book minis on the bigger ships for the bigger shower/tub.

mbleackl Posted September 25, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2019 We were in an Epic Mini in 2016. The only difference between a Balcony and the Mini is the bathroom is a little bigger and perhaps location. If $400 each not worth it: maybe $400 total is not worth it either.

NCL cancelled the second ship of this class! What astounds me is that the toilets in the solo cabins have the usual non-see-through walls. So the designer obviously thought solos needed more privacy than people sharing a cabin. One thing to be aware of the minis, and pretty much all spa cabins, on the top accommodation deck is that they're right under the pool deck and can be quite noisy. The minis on other decks are fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
