Cruise Ship Design Flaw - Norwegian EPIC

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a walkthrough of the Norwegian Epic to highlight what they describe as a significant design flaw regarding unused space on the ship. While standing in a shower area to avoid loud air noise from the front of the vessel, the creator compares the layout of the Epic to newer Norwegian Cruise Line ships like the Getaway. They note that while newer ships have smaller pool areas, the Epic features a more spread out layout with two pools and water slides. The primary concern involves a large section of the ship located above the Garden Cafe near the Haven and Posh Club. The creator points out that this area contains lounge chairs and a shower but lacks hot tubs, bars, or easy access to amenities. They observe that passengers must travel several floors down to the pool deck to obtain a drink because there is no bar service in this specific section. The creator also mentions that this area functioned as a bar on the Getaway ship but currently feels like a dead end on the Epic. Despite these architectural nuances and cabin design issues, the creator concludes that they are still enjoying their time on the ship and would consider cruising on it again.
