Just back off Epic, Ask away...

Got back off the Epic on Sunday, Alot of what I have to say about it is already written on here so not going to do a long review but feel free to ask me anything and hopefully can answer...

I loved the cruise, all 10 of us did, felt like we were treated like royalty.. cabin cleaned twice a day, drinks practically poured down our necks, amazing food, great entertainment, all staff seemed happy and couldn't do enough for us, the ship is massive but very clean and well run in my opinion!

I go on holiday alot and have always said, you get what you pay for! Not true this time, felt like we had paid 3 times the amount to get what we got, Well done NCL/Epic!!!!!

That's great to hear.I'm glad you had a great holiday! We are off on WEpic shortly and I was getting worried about some of the reviews,they were so mixed.

Can I ask you about your account on the ship, did you use a credit/ debit card or cash? I don't want the hassle of exchanging money etc and was going to use a card as we have the UBP and SEP and have prepaid our tips so don't plan on spending more than a hundred or two on-board.

Also what was your favourite place for breakfast?

I presume the Morocco/Canaries itinerary? Can you post your freestyle dailies?

we used a credit card, they add it to your account when you check in and you can check what is on the bill on your tv in your room, any queries and you go to credit services to resolve it (my friends had a $20 charge from o'sheehan's for chardonnay that they have not got a clue why it was charged but they removed it happily)

Then on the last night they leave a paper copy of the final bill in your room, you dont have to do anything to pay, it is taken automatically.

I think you can go settle the final bill in cash on the last evening and if you leave a debit card on the account at the start of the cruise they take a certain amount out to check it is a fluid account, it is then returned about 4 weeks later.

My favourite place for breakfast was the garden cafe, buffet, deck 15. An amazing choice, cannot see anyone not finding what they like (also you get real english bacon up there that you dont get anywhere else on the ship!!!) was great up there for a big party, first one in got a table and the rest of us just came and went!

you can go to o'sheehans from 5am and order a full english/omelette etc and the other restaurants do breakfasts to order, there really is too much choice lol

Glad you enjoyed your trip.

Did you eat at any of the specialty restaurants? If so which one did you like the best?

For the evening, did you eat as a large party or did you break into smaller groups?

What cabin did you have?

Thanks for answering questions

Do you recall if they had a martini clinic? Our Roll Call for November was wondering if they still had them. We are looking of events to do together.

Glad you had a great time.

So glad to hear you had a great time! We sail in July, a different itinerary. So, my questions are about the ship itself. Is it easy to find your way around...I know the ship is large, but does it flow? How bad is the smoke smell from the casino in surrounding areas? and lastly, where did you find to have the best coffee?

Thanks for the Q&A:)

Glad you enjoyed your trip.

We didn't eat in the speciality restaurants.

We did break up into smaller groups in the evening, 2 of our party like to eat early so went to the garden cafe at half 5, 4-6 of our group would meet for dinner at manhatten or shanghai's about half 8 and then some nights we would organise a meal for all 10 of us (aparently you can pre book a table if 6 or more in party)

we were 10306 inside, deck 10 aft, we had 5 rooms in row nearly, lovely rooms, had heard the horror stories! lol

we went to Bliss a few nights but only til about half 11, normally spent the wee small hours in o'sheehans! from what i gather most venues closed about midnight except o'sheehans and bliss, which would just carry on playing music after the karaoke and an hour's speciality disco (50/60's one night, abba another night, 80's etc 2230 til 2330)

Do you recall if they had a martini clinic? Our Roll Call for November was wondering if they still had them. We are looking of events to do together.

 

Glad you had a great time.

if they did I didn't notice... What is it?!?! lol

Glad you enjoyed your trip.

 

Did you eat at any of the specialty restaurants? If so which one did you like the best? - We ate at teppanyaki (good entertainment), Cagneys (my personal Favourite), Moderno (hated it) & Le Bistro (intimate dinner for 2 was perfect)

 

For the evening, did you eat as a large party or did you break into smaller groups?

 

What cabin did you have? - 12229

Look for the "secret deck" on 18 but don't tell anyone when you find it

You must go to howl at the moon, I had never heard of it and it was amazing so I won't spoil it by trying to explain what it is other than to say if you want them to play a request for you wrap your request in a $ bill.
