monn_a Posted December 29, 2010 #26 Share Posted December 29, 2010 it's a number 1 for me...I don't necessarily regret it, it was an experience but I wish I had gone with another choice for our Thanksgiving cruise...(BTW there is a poll tool you can use);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianTwosome Posted December 29, 2010 #27 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Absolutely #4 for my family. The itinerary wouldn't matter, because I'd be happy just to stay on board! We didn't have a chance to investigate everything, so we'll undoubtedly end up back on her sometime in the future, though we've got some other things to do first. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmab Posted December 29, 2010 #28 Share Posted December 29, 2010 3 for me. We loved the ship, but thought the Freestyle concept wasn't really for us. We're better suited for RCcL, but might give the Epic another try someday (if the price and itinerary are right) because we truly loved the ship.

MMastell Posted December 29, 2010 #29 Share Posted December 29, 2010 2 - 3 I can't say that I wouldn't sail her again. I enjoyed the cruise, the entertainment and some of the restaurants but I did not like the decor, cabins and the layout of the pool deck. I also didn't like the sense of being cramped on deck six and the pool deck. If the price and itinerary were right I would sail her again but it would have to be good. Otherwise I'll sail other NCL ships. Epic is at the lower end of my ship list. Take care, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldeya Posted December 29, 2010 #30 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Definitely 2 We had a good time on our B2B but this ship is not for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser#5 Posted December 29, 2010 #31 Share Posted December 29, 2010 2....... it was a good cruise but this ship is not for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartamus2002 Posted December 29, 2010 #32 Share Posted December 29, 2010 of course, you realize only a small percentage of people actually use these boards. And amongst those, many do not return here after their cruise and wait until they are ready to cruise again. So, a poll is, well.... I realize only a small percentage use these boards but these are the opinions I value the most. The people who respond to these polls are just like me, addicted. Not sure why you even responded to this poll?? Our family just booked our first trip on the Epic last night, so I am finding this poll very encouraging.

jdvmd Posted December 29, 2010 #33 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Definitely a 4 There are things we still didn't get to do because there are so many activities. Love, love, love that ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcat Posted December 29, 2010 #34 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I would say a 3, but I would like to try NCL's new ships that are coming out. I think they will be a combination of what I like on the Epic without what I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjbdtz Posted December 29, 2010 #35 Share Posted December 29, 2010 For everyone that has sailed on the EPIC I'd like to know what category you fall under: 1) Never again - I regret sailing her in the first place. 2) One & Done - I enjoyed our EPIC cruise however I would not sail again. 3) Depends - Enjoyed our cruise and would sail again depending on itinerary. 4) Absolutely - Loved the EPIC and would sail again regardless of itinerary. 4 (and I'm writing this from onboard the Spirit!)

I enjoyed my EPIC cruise, but it would take a really great price and itinerary for me to choose her again as I actually prefer the rest of the fleet. So, I guess I fall somewhere between 2 & 3.

enyliram Posted December 29, 2010 #38 Share Posted December 29, 2010 put me down for a 2. been there, done that. but once was enough for me. i prefer a ship with much less walking and much more open spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1TravelMom Posted December 30, 2010 #39 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Definately 4. We need another week on the EPIC to relax. We spent our whole week trying to do everything on the ship(not possible in one week-IMHO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted December 30, 2010 #40 Share Posted December 30, 2010 ... I wasn't that happy with the bathroom set up in the CV (no door between the bedroom and the bathroom) - but that's just me. The shower and big tub with the floor to ceiling windows were great however.... YIKES... does that mean that the sun will beam into the bed area unencumbered (so to speak)? I never really thought of that... (computer generated photo): Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carontori Posted December 30, 2010 #41 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just off the Epic last week, and considering it wasn't my first choice of Ncl ships..... I loved it. I give it a 4 and would love to cruise on her again. So much to see and do...so little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine 229 Posted December 30, 2010 #42 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Interesting thread and interesting to see the differences in the responses. Just goes to show that there is no right or wrong ship, just different ships for different people. From what I've read, the Epic doesn't sound like my kind of ship, but she obviously has her fans who love everything she has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoolmarm4 Posted December 30, 2010 #48 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Thanksgiving cruise on the EPIC was great. Bathroom setup worked fine, no complaints. Prefer fewer people which translates to a smaller ship. Overall I guess I would say a 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_sobe Posted December 30, 2010 #50 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I would definately sail Epic again. I would probably get a much more inexpensive room like maybe a studio. Epic has just so much to do that I need to go back and try different things like shows and restaurants I have not been to. I also would love to sail with an Epic virgin and show them all around. You really are never bored. I watched one review many months ago about sailing Epic on ports you have been to before so you can explore the ship more. I agree. If i sailed Epic again, I would probably not get off the ship. Hit the gym and then the spa and enjoy a much less crowded ship. I also wonder how often NCL will change the entertainment on the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
