I have been reading on Cruise Critics for months and find it very interesting the variety of opinions but it makes sense because of the variety of people but I have found it hard to find reviews from Solo travelers so I wanted to make sure that I did a review that might help other Solo Travelers. I am using the term Solo on purpose I am not writing for Singles because that is not what I am. I was attracted to NCL because of the Studios I got so excited about being able to go on a cruise and only having to pay for myself I booked right away and I can tell you I have never been so happy about my decision.

I flew into Ft Lauderdale and thanks to the Roll Call board I had excellent transportation at a very reasonable cost of $15 per person or if you were by your self $45 but there were others so I only had to pay $15, this was through SAS. I got to my hotel no problem, NCL booked hotel it was ok but based on everything I have since learned you can do much much better if you do this yourself, just check to see if the hotel gets you to the port and if it will cost.

Was picked up by NCL arranged transportation no problems. Got to the port and there were two checking points one for odd number and the other for even number cabins. Outside of the fact that this was the Christmas Cruise and there were lots and lots of families I think the checking when exceptionally well considering the number of young children that everyone and I mean everyone had to deal with. Check in was also smooth considering the number of large family groups checking in (20 or more trying to coordinate everything).

Cabin Review

Studio

I found the Studio to be great, honestly the only recommendation is to put a blow dryer in each Studio so that the passenger does not have to ask because a lot of passengers do not even know to ask. There is space in the shelves next to the sink. A suggestion for consideration is that I noticed a lot of older passengers in the Studios and by made taking out one of the beds in the Studio it might make it easier for them to move around and get in and out of bed in the middle of the night. I had no problem and enjoyed the double bed but then I did not spend much time in my room and had no problems crawling on the bed if I needed. One other thing that I noticed is if the seas were rough the closet doors would come open so maybe a little hook might stop that from happening. Me I put my shoes at the bottom as a jam and it worked.
