    Great video! I did 11 days on the Epic in June and was not impressed with the quality of the food or the selection. However the service was excellent! And I loved that as a solo cruiser I often was seated at a little table right by the window. It made me feel special.

      Nice of the crew to have a great table for you, were you in a solo cabin? I went into the lounge area and thought it was awesome.

    All the food looked so much better than the cruise we went on . Agreed with you on buffets, we aren't a huge fan. That chocolate mousse looked really good. That looked like a beer with breakfast!

      I always recommend NCL for foodies as I think they have the best free options.
      Buffets can be hit and miss, they need to be well maintained or they become a mess.
      Ha ha, not quite that was apple juice 😂

    We were on the maiden voyage of the Epic years ago. It was a beautiful experience. Food was excellent and we only ate at the complementary restaurants. It’s always clean and fresh, the variety is great and ethnic foods are very tasty.

    Those wontons looks amazing! And you can tell how fresh the greek salad is just by looking at it. Mmm mint chocolate mousse! Nice there is a 24 hour food spot! Mmm chill looks so good. Your omelette at the garden caf looks lovely. Cute what they did for the rugby world cup! The noodle bar looks fun to try too for next time.

      @claytonwchurchill9308 10 місяців тому +1

      4/7/25 depart Port Canaveral 8 days at sea, (what I'm most looking forward to) then Gibraltar, Alicante Spain and ending in Rome on 4/19. (appears to now be sold out) I got an amazing $700 Solo Cabin Free At Sea package (the Solo Lounge looks like a great perk) and purchased the additional 6 seating Specialty Dining Package. My wife and I rewatched your video again and she really wishes she were going too. (we rescue animals so one of us is usually stuck here at home until this phase in our life gets fulfilled) I'm departing the ship in Alicante Spain as hotels and air fare costs of Rome were crazy expensive ($350/night) and $1900 one way to Boston. Keep up the great content.

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  10 місяців тому +2

      @@claytonwchurchill9308 To be fair, for that price I’m not surprised that it’s sold out. There are some great deals on transatlantic crossings. It’s a shame that your wife won’t be joining you but hopefully she can next time.
      Alicante is a fairly quiet place, I was there in October and if you have some time I recommend visiting the market. I do have a video about my day there on the channel.
      Many thanks for the kind words and I hope you have an amazing time.

    We’ve been considering Norwegian so this is the perfect video! Love the statement light in the dining room! Some great food options on the menu. Feel like we would enjoy O’Sheehans! Looks like a great buffet on board and good to know where to find the best omelette! Always good to know where to get those late night snacks too haha great video as always! Hope you’re having a great week so far 💙🤩

    • @ALifeintheParks
      @ALifeintheParks  10 місяців тому +1

      I would say that Norwegian are the closest to Royal in terms of experience, especially the newer ships and Go-Kart tracks.
      I think you’d enjoy the craft beer bars and rock clubs on those ships too. Yes thanks, I hope that you’re having a great week too?

    I quite like the thought of freestyle dining, hopefully you can still get a table for 2 if you want. The food looked nice in the main dining room too. The Epic certainly looks to have a great choice of places to get tasty complimentary food. I do fancy trying NCL one day.

      @ALifeintheParks  10 місяців тому +2

      Complimentary in that there’s no additional charge to eat on top of the food you’re already paid for in the ever-increasing cruise fare.
