We have just returned from yet, another wonderful cruise with Norwegian Cruise Lines. We sailed aboard the Norwegian Epic for the week of April 20th-27th, and would like to share some of our experience.
This sailing took us to the Western Caribbean. Now, just a quick reference to that Western Caribbean.
We have sailed the Western Caribbean on previous occasions. When we booked aboard the Epic, 2 years ago, she was expected to call on the ports of the Eastern Caribbean. However, due to Norwegian releasing the newly built Norwegian Getaway earlier than expected, our voyage aboard the Norwegian Epic was moved to the Western Caribbean. We were given the option of cancelling, switching to the Getaway, or staying with the Epic, and joining in (once again) on the Western Caribbean itinerary. After giving the itinerary change careful consideration, and the fact that we really wanted to experience the Norwegian Epic, along with our theory that the ship really IS the destination for us, we decided to remain with our original plans and sail on her.
