Norwegian Epic

Norwegian Epic features first ice bar at sea (Skyy Vodka Ice Bar at 17°F), Epic Plunge 200-foot bowl waterslide (only bowl slide at sea), and first rappelling wall at sea. This 4,000+ passenger vessel (2010) received May 2025 refurbishment with redesigned Kids' Aqua Park and expanded Vibe Beach Club. Passengers praise O'Sheehan's 24/7 pub, specialty dining quality, and Mediterranean itineraries but report critical issues—bathroom design flaws with privacy concerns, 2025 cleanliness problems, overcrowding, inconsistent food temperature. Sailing Caribbean year-round from San Juan, Mediterranean seasonally from Rome/Barcelona. Pricing: interiors $118/night, balconies $150/night.
