The Norwegian Epic receives mixed reviews, with many guests praising the staff, service, and itinerary, but expressing dissatisfaction with the ship's design, crowded spaces, cabin layouts, and extra charges. Food and entertainment are generally rated as good, though some found them inconsistent. The ship's large size leads to frequent complaints about crowds, long waits, and a lack of relaxing spaces. Excursions and ports are often highlighted as a positive, but pricing and organization issues are noted. Overall, the Epic is seen as a solid cruise experience for those who value variety and service, but may not suit travelers seeking a more intimate or luxurious environment.
Service is frequently praised for being attentive, friendly, and professional, especially from room stewards and dining staff. However, some guests experienced inconsistent service, particularly outside premium areas, and noted that staff could be overwhelmed during peak times.
