Description

Ship with several technical problems since the gestation phases of the project that led Norwegian Cruise Line to block the construction of sister ships. Norwegian Epic is aesthetically a ship with a box effect accentuated especially for the superstructure at the bow. It does not have a completely logical hotel distribution, but at the same time it is able to best express the potential of NCL's freestyle with a wide and varied choice of catering options. For years he has been a permanent guest in the Mediterranean in summer.

Una scatoletta, non una nave

I liked

cibo, spettacoli, pulizia nave e cabina

I didn't like

la nave, le escursioni, la cabina con water diviso in due

Comment

la nave sembra una scatoletta chiusa, dove non puoi godere quasi da nessuna parte (se non per l'unico ponte esterno) della vista del mare. La piscina è davvero piccolissima per il numero di ospiti che può ospitare. Anche a poppa è quasi impossibile vedere la scia del mare per via di un maxi schermo enorme al centro e vetrate altissime... La nave all'interno è cmq bellina anche se i suoi colori sono scuri e cupi... gli spettacoli sono stati davvero eccellenti soprattutto Priscilla e born this floor... per il resto cmq non ci ritornerei neanche gratis

L’esperimento bagno open non è riuscito.

Comment

Una crociera perfetta. Nave dagli interni molto belli, un ponte piscine vivibile e una meravigliosa zona a poppa riservata agli adulti. Esperienza da ripetere assolutamente

Brutta fuori bella dentro

I liked

Bellezza degli ambienti

I didn't like

Estetica esterna e ponti esterni

Comment

Una nave controversa. Orribile nella sua linea e con pecche nelle aree esterne (sembra un traghetto). Ma elegante e bellissima dentro con ambienti veramente raffinati.

Comment

Avevo visitato Norwegian Epic più volte anni fa, prima dell'importante refit che ne ha rinnovato alcune aree. Devo dire che questa volta mi ha convinto ancora di più e non soltanto per la politica di Ncl che nel frattempo si è evoluta e si è resa più appetibile, sia con le politiche di prezzi che con formule all-inclusive. Norwegian Epic è una nave che abbina ambienti di gusto classico e molto eleganti a uno stile di crociera moderno e giovanile. Numerosi sono i ristoranti, tutti ben arredati ed invitanti, aperti fino a tarda sera. Belle anche le aree esterne, seppur non come le ultime navi della flotta Ncl. Un ottimo compromesso di stile e di informalità che permette veramente, e lo si percepisce anche soltanto da una visita, di viaggiare...Freestyle!

Med Cruise

I liked

Freestyle

I didn't like

Small stateroom

Comment

A nice cruise in the West Med, spring season. A really good service from Ncl, good catering, great entertainment. Onboard you have an interesting choice of restaurants with no fixed time. A good experience, to be repeated.

Nave criticata per l'estetica ma che io adoro per la scelta di ristorazione, il buon servizio, gli intrattenimenti giovanili. Fra l'altro ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo anche in stagione. Consiglio!!!

I liked

Intrattenimento

Comment

E' vero, sarà brutta dall'esterno...ma Epic mi è piaciuta molto per la qualità di crociera, l'offerta della ristorazione, la cortesia del personale. Non ci si annoia mai ed è estremamente divertente anche nei lunghi giorni di navigazione. La consiglio a 360 gradi.

Un Giorno con Epic

I liked

Una nave molto grande non caotica

I didn't like

Comment

Epic offre una molteplice offerta culinaria con tanti ristoranti tematici compresi nel prezzo crociera, grande, vivibile, tanto spazio per i suoi 4000 passaggeri su 155.000 tls di stazza, servizi Premium, possibilità di avere cabine singole e tutto quello che una grande nave da crociera può offrire in intrattenimento.
