Creator's Key Takeaways

I would say that the Norwegian Epic has the flattest bum of any cruise ship. So flat.

It definitely felt as though this ship was an experiment, but personally, I love that.

I have been on a lot of cruise ship water slides, but this toilet bowl one is definitely my favorite ever.

Bring a sun hat, a fan, and plenty of sun cream for Mediterranean summer cruises.

YouTube Video Description

ad - I’ve just disembarked a cruise on a cruise ship that divides opinion like no other. Some people describe her as the world’s ugliest cruise ship but what she looks like from the outside is just the start of why she’s so controversial. From the layout to the entertainment, this ship is completely unique. The cruise line that built her never used the same design again and even though two more were planned, they were cancelled. I cruised on this ship with my family back in 2015, when she was only a few years old, and although I had a good time overall, I do remember us having a few issues. I wasn’t planning to sail on the ship again but when I saw that she was in Europe, on an itinerary that suited me, I knew I had to give her another go.
