I agree with you on the space.  We wanted to relax out on the deck and use the water slides.  There was no space available.  We ended up riding the slides a few times and then went back to the Haven to relax.  The Haven area has a lot of places to relax without being crowded!

Postive thoughts all the way

I think we all need to do a group prayer here for our great friend Don ..there’s power in prayer…..sending a group hug here too coming your way for a speedy recovery …Your a great Travel agent and you know all the things a person needs to know to have the most fabulous trip …..well be waiting for you ..I hope you have some pretty nurses ..and not some …well never mind ..love from us all <3

I would never recommend the Epic. The cabins were awkward and small feeling. But what I liked the least was how it seemed there were always so many people everywhere. There was always lines for whatever you wanted. Forget getting close to the pool. I felt like cattle.

Congratulations on your quick recovery from your surgery and may you continue down your path of continuing good health. Appreciate all your helpful information and tips. It makes the cruise experience that much more enjoyable and stress free. Just got back from a 7 Day Western Caribbean Cruise on the NCL EPIC out of Port Canaveral and stayed in the solo cabin. For a single traveler there was plenty of room in the cabin although the space for the toilet was extremely tight. The shower had a nice glass enclosure rather than just a shower curtain so that was very nice and the bedding was marvelous. Slept like a baby. Enjoyed the bowling, the water slides, and the entertainment (Priscilla Queen of the Desert/Burn The Floor and a cover group doing the Beatles nightly). Would definitely take another cruise on the EPIC.

Thank you for doing this review. I wanted to go on the Escape in Feb of 2019 but that ship is booked clear thru oct. so i was looking at Epic and doing some research to see how people liked it. One thing im glad you mentioned was the solo cabin since I will he solo. No other reviews talked about solo cabins for this ship so thanks again !

I just booked for March 2019. Excited.

it look like they added units on top of a cruise ships. It does look a little odd

Sending my best and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Don worry Don you gonna be here for a good while!!

nice review Don good luck with the operation soon

Hello Sir, I have prayed for you on your upcoming surgery. I absolutely love your content , my favorite channel on YouTube!

I will be praying you have an uncomplicated surgery and a speedy recovery.
This is a great review. I will be sailing on the Epic next month and can’t wait to get away from this cold.

Hi Don. Good luck with your surgery, get well soon. I have been on this ship 3 times and really like it a lot.

If you are looking for more quiet space, the top deck forward is the place to go. You can get there using the forward stairs or the stand alone elevator just outside of the buffet on the Starboard side. The very front has nice padded lunges and chairs that are only completely full about two hours a day. There aren’t a lot of amenities up there but they do set up a small bar during busy times near the elevator. There are also a couple of showers if you get hot. The rest of the area is usually wide open.

Most complaints regard the room with the opaque shower doors. This really is not problem unless you are traveling with a friend or sibling IMO. They have added a curtain between the sleeping area and shower/toilet. I do like the sink in the room so two people can work on getting ready at the same time. I actually did not mind the curved walls as they gave you more clearance to get past the bed.

An embarkation tip if you get on fairly early is to eat in O’Sheehan’s. Free sit down meal with bar service without the first day panic of the buffet.

I do, personally, find the NCL specialty dining to be excellent and reasonably priced. I think they also have the best loyalty program by far!

Interesting video, Don, I’ve never been on an NCL ship. Thank you and please recover from your surgery quickly, we will miss you! 🙂

Love your videos Don! Hope your surgery goes well! Have you ever been on a cosplay cruise? I’m going on one next month in February! What are the main differences between carnival and royal?
