Norwegian Epic Adventure

To say I was excited was an understatement. After almost 2 years of no international travel I was invited as a guest on board Norwegian Epic with some of my Travel Counsellor colleagues to experience what was an amazing trip from start to finish. We set sail from Barcelona to Sardinia and returned to Barcelona for a 4 night duration as part of their inaugural return to seas sailing.

I flew from Dublin to Barcelona with Ryanair from Terminal 1 and returned from Barcelona with Aer Lingus into Terminal 2. I did find Terminal 1 a lot busier as there was a lot of flights departing a the same time. I would definitely recommend a 3 hour check in to give yourself plenty of time to get through security and allow for any queues or delays. It is vital to be prepared and have all your documents both digitally on your phone and as a back up bring a paper copy. I must say I felt very comfortable on both flights. On arrival in Barcelona everything went very smoothly our Spanish Passenger locator QR codes were scanned and we collected our bags and off into arrivals. It was such a lovely feeling to feel the heat when we went outside the airport for our transfer pick up. It was great to have that holiday feeling back again.

Norwegian Cruise Lines Representatives were waiting for us at the Cruise Port. I have to say everything was so well organised. We all had to prebook for our Antigen Tests and the whole process was very quick and efficient. Before I knew it I was walking up the steps to board Norwegian Epic. I checked in to my Balcony Cabin, dropped the bags and went to explore the ship. The excitement. I was like a child. The stateroom was decorated in white and teal colours. Having a balcony was a real bonus i loved sitting out their when leaving port in the evening watching the sunset. The bed was so comfortable.

The facilities on board Norwegian Epic were fantastic. For kids or big kids... the Aqua Park and slide was so much fun, the climbing wall, shopping malls, casinos it had so much to offer. The gym and spa with their fantastic views out to sea. At night Norwegian Epic certainly was alive and had so much choice to offer us. The Broadway shows we went to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Burn the Floor, both were fantastic, the bars and clubs, the Cavern Club, Howl at the Moon, O Sheehan's Bar, the Ice Bar and the Adults Only Spice H20's Ibiza Beach Club. It was fantastic to be back dancing the night away again even if my feet ached for days when I came home it was definitely worth it.

The dining options were just WOW. The choice was amazing. The speciality restaurants are well worth the experience. I didn't get to experience all of them over the few days but certainly plenty of options available on a 7 night Cruise you certainly wont be disappointed. My favourite had to be

I would highly recommend a Cruise Holiday with Norwegian Cruise Lines for both couples and families alike. My experience on RETURN TO TRAVEL was a very pleasant experience and Norwegian EPIC was a wonderful way to return to travel.
