We boarded the UGLIEST cruise ship (NCL Epic) to see what it’s like
EVERYONE warned us... but were they WRONG about the UGLIEST cruise ship at sea? Join us—Beth (from the UK) & Tony (from the US)—for our EPIC NCL Epic embarkation day, kicking off our 7-night Mediterranean cruise series. As former cruise ship crew, we always board sharing our HONEST first impressions - the good, the bad, and what surprises us about the design, layout, and embarkation process on Norwegian Cruise Line's most talked-about ship. In this video we cover our full embarkation day experience, our first look around the ship, initial thoughts on that famous hull and split cabin layout, and whether NCL can redeem itself after our less-than-perfect Alaskan cruise on the NCL Bliss. This is episode 1 in our Norwegian Epic series.
