What Creators Are Saying About Norwegian Epic
I certainly don't love everything unique about this ship, but none of the quirks like the layout or the cabins, they're not a dealbreaker for me.
Emma Cruises
The studio staterooms from Norwegian Cruise Line are very controversial with some people, myself included, really loving them, but others wouldn't cruise in them for a number of reasons
Fraser at Sea
I've heard loads of negative reviews, loads of very, very critical reviews. I've heard a few positive, but to be honest, the negative far outweighs the positive on this one.
Fraser at Sea
Some cruise ships look absolutely stunning in the brochure. Glowing pools, dramatic sunset shots, promises of the vacation of a lifetime. But real passengers who actually sailed on them tell a completely different story.
Cruise Navigator
I suspected that it may be something in between but I was not prepared for the reality of living in this cabin for 7 days.
