Creator's Key Takeaways

I embarked on one of the most unique Cru sailings I've ever been on a 12 night Transit lanic Voyage on board the Norwegian Epic

I was traveling by myself and stayed in one of Norwegian epic's exclusive Studio staterooms

Norwegian Epic has an interesting reputation for being one of the worst rated ships in Norwegian Cruise Lines Fleet
