I like to travel solo. Norwegian is the only cruise line that makes an effort to accommodate solo travelers. The Escape had studio rooms (85 on this ship), a studio lounge, solo meet & greets every night (being in the studio was not a requirement to attend the solo events), group dinners and planned activities. I didn't eat too often in the garden cafe buffet, but the specialty dinners were amazing. The employees are wonderful and accommodating no matter where you were. There was a mechanical glitch in going to the last port. It was sad that it had to be skipped, but it sure didn't ruin the cruise for me. For being such a big ship, I definitely didn't notice it any more crowded than on a smaller ship. Lots of night life options which was perfect. Lots of places to relax in the shade or in the sun, without a huge crowd. Several of the bars gave the "cheers" feel to it. The employees took an effort to remember your name, which is crazy! I know I'd fail miserably at that! I highly recommend this cruise. I also signed up for the Thermal Spa. What a treat. And also, never felt crowded.

The studio cabins, lounge & meet & greets have been wonderful for meeting new people and making life time friends!

I have traveled several times with Norwegian Cruise Lines and can't think of anything negative with the experiences. I have 5 more planned for 2017!
