We had a traveler who is single and the Studio Cabins worked well. Our travel agent set us up on Norwegian Epic and most of our group's staterooms were in close proximity. I would first like to say that prior to our cruise and after making our reservations, we read several reviews from Cruise Critic and 95% of them were negative. I am very happy to say that I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH ALL ASPECTS OF OUR CRUISE.

Embarkation was very smooth (was completely onboard and eating at O'Sheenan's within in an hour or so). The same goes with disembarkation, we did the early walk off and was off and through customs within an hour. Ship was extremely clean from staterooms to restrooms throughout the ship. We like the stateroom layout with shower, stool and sink all separate. Two people can be getting ready at one time. Plenty of dining choices that were complimentary. The quiet zone deck was great, one can relax, read, enjoy a drink and enjoy the beautiful weather without a lot of distractions. Ports and shore excursions were great. A tip: if you want to go to a complimentary show and it is already booked, go to the box office area 30 minutes prior to show and get on a waiting list. We did this twice and was able to see Christian Mior and Burn the Floor. If an excursion is booked, get on that waiting list, just don't say everything was booked and express your frustrations that all activities were hard to get into. Great Stirrup Cay had plenty of lounge chairs, you may have to walk on past main beach, we had no problems. No cruise is perfect, this is a very large ship with a lot of passengers, you will have to wait on elevators during peak times. If you are able, take the stairs. Our rooms were midship (11th floor) and it was 4 floors below buffet area and 4 floors above atrium, casino, Epic Theater and Headliners Club). Overall very enjoyable cruise and we would most definitely go again.
