Additional details
I sailed the Norwegian Getaway from March 29 - April 3rd. It was my first cruise and I went on my own. I chose the Getaway because they had Studio cabins for solo travelers, which is why I flew to Miami for this trip.
Overall, I really enjoyed myself. The Getaway is a very nice ship. It's clean and well maintained. There is lots of stuff to do. I liked the variety of restaurants. The dance parties at Spice H20 at night were great. I loved that the parties attracted all ages. They were high energy and fun.
I didn't see most of the shows but I did go to Burn the Floor which was excellent. I highly recommend it.
Cabin Review
Studio Stateroom
Yes, the studios are very small but very efficiently laid out. The studio layout is extremely functional and I liked the clean, modern look of it. The closets aren't big but there is a basket under the bed and room to store your suitcase under the bed as well. I would have loved natural light, but no dice since this is an interior room. The studio lounge was great. I got coffee and pastries every morning and you could get cocktails in the evening at night.
There was a bartender in the evening that served rinks but, unlike what I read in other reviews, solos did not congregate in the lounge to meet at night. Instead we met at the Sunset bar in the evening. This way solos who weren't staying in the studio area could also meet up.
I agree with reviews that the toilet and shower are small, but I fit just fine in both and I'm not a small person.
You could hear water from toilets flushing but overall it was pretty quiet.
