Default Norwegian Epic

We recently took a one week Western Caribbean cruise on Norwegian Epic. With 4,200 passengers, it is way too big for us. Way too much lining up at the bar, crowds at dinner time, stepping on toes on embarkation and disembarkation, shortage of staff, etc. We do like Norwegian Cruise Line a lot, especially the freestyle dining, but never again will be cruise a mega ship. Passenger counts of 2,000 - 2,500 are just about perfect.
