Norwegian Epic rates higher overall than 10% of the ships we track. The weak spot is cabins.
Why reviewers choose it
No category on this ship rates clearly above the fleet.
The one caution
6.7out of 10 for cabins
Higher than only 1% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.40.
Twelve fall below the fleet: entertainment, fitness, dining, family, activities, service, embarkation, value, public areas, disembarkation, ship quality and cabins. They rate higher than 1% to 22% of ships.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, balcony and suite grades all score between 7.46 and 7.84. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
Reviewers named 12 places by name. These 3 are the ones where knowing changes anything — the other 9 are all liked by 59% to 82% of the people who mentioned them.
First-time cruisers (403 of 506), solo travelers (276 of 305), couples (96 of 115) and families with teens (92 of 130).
Travelers with accessibility needs (109 of 148) described it as a poor fit.
