I chose this cruise for the following reasons: 1) I've travelled on NCL before & like the line....2) As a single traveler I wanted to try their Studio Room & Lounge (paying less then double to cruise would allow me to travel more often)...3) The itinerary included ports that I had not been to before & was a good change...4) joined family members.
As a person who is used to a room with a "view" I adapted to the inside Studio surprisingly easily and will travel this way again without hesitation.The only change I would make would be to have an extra drawer or two in the room. The dedicated Lounge to stretch out in with 24 hour coffee, water, juice, snacks available and a bartender from 5-7P were an added bonus.
The ship & the cabins were very well maintained....cleanliness. Staff was courteous & of course as with any cruise there were some standouts. There were more then enough activities to participate in and dining & drink choices galore. If anything I will have to go back on the ship again to try to experience more of what was available. Favorites for me were....Burn the Floor, Teppanyaki, Garden Cafe, O'sheehan's, Shanghai's, Moderno, Spice H2O & The Waterfront areas.
Thank You NCL for making something available to the Solo Traveler!!
Aside from wanting a couple of additional drawers...Loved It!! The Studio was designed perfectly....comfortable & large enough for one person in addition to a good value as a single traveler does not have to pay double. The Lounge was also a nice touch too ...especially for morning coffee & danish, a place to stretch out if you want or to grab a drink before getting ready for dinner.
I'm looking forward to raveling this way again!!!
Getting on the ship was very easy.
