I have sailed in this cabin class twice. 7 day and 10 day and I enjoyed it. Great little place to escape and encouraged me to get out more. I think it is something all the cruise lines need. 2x for solo in a regular cabin is robbery.
I sailed in a Studio Cabin on the Escape!! It was a great room for cruising solo. I'm actually booked in a Studio on the Bliss in November. You get your own Studio Lounge too. I would book it again if I needed to.
I cruised with NCL twice as a solo traveler. I didn't choose a small cabin for solos in the Studio section, however, I visited one of the small cabins that a cruise friend had. It was the exact layout as yours. I immediately felt closed in. I have to use medical equipment daily and I don't think I would be able to set it up if I was in that size room. There was another solo traveler who posts regularly on You Tube. She chose an Ocean view cabin on NCL that seemed very nice. You didn't have a balcony, but you could see a view at least.
I was in a Studio Cabin on Escape back in January 2019. It was a 14 day cruise. I did it again the following Sept on the Bliss. I don't know if I'd do it again. I did really like the Studio Lounge. Norwegian is now offering solo Balcony, Oceanview and inside cabins. Definitely larger than the Studio Cabins. Thank you, Tanner for the great info.
I have been considering booking myself in a solo room like this down the road so this was very helpful to get an idea of what I'd realistically be looking at with regards to space and comfort level. You've certainly given me some food for thought on it, both positive and negative so thank you!
I was on the escape in a solo cabin in February 2024 it was also my very first cruise and I felt like I needed definitely more space especially in the shower. Thanks for your point of view and congratulations on 100k subscribers.
I stayed in the Studio before, but I won't ever do it again. There was a girl in the room next to me and she was going for the gold medal in the mattress Olympics every night! The walls are paper thin, so I could hear everything. It quickly got old and caused me to lose a lot of sleep. From that point on, I just booked a regular cabin as a solo traveler. 😄
The room looks fine, but I could never sail in an inside cabin. I have to have a balcony - need to see daylight and get the fresh air. On warm weather cruises, I often sleep with the balcony door open.
Thank you for posting this. I never cruised in an inside cabin; I prefer balconies suites because I appreciate the private luxury. The lower pricing always intrigues me though, it's tempting...when my income becomes more "limited," I'll be more venturous to finally try the inside cabin. Thank you again.
Took my first cruise in April of this year and stayed in a studio on the Norwegian Epic on a 13 night transatlantic. I loved the space. I made sure to get organized right away. There was definitely enough room for all my stuff, but then again, I wasn't working either and didn't bring my laptop with me. I don't have issues with claustrophobia either so that probably helped too. I plan on taking another cruise to Alaska in September and will stay in a Studio again.
Your critique was accurate. I cruised on Encore in solo cabin and it had an ottoman like furnishing under the phone area. It had a removable solid top that could be placed on bed and used as a work surface. And sit on ottoman . An option of course
I have stayed in the solo cabins twice, once on the Escape and the other time on the Encore. I also thought it was strange having the shower right there in the room, and because I’m a taller and bigger guy than you, the size of the shower was definitely noticeable . Because I’m really only in the room to sleep at night since I’m not one that is able to nap, I never found the room to be too small. The main thing that bothered me was that there was no fridge in the room, but I did love that it was always quiet. Never really heard anyone coming or going. I will be sailing solo again on the Bliss in May.
I've done four studio cabins. Enjoy them all especially the lounge and meeting people. I'm actually booking a Panama canal 15 day cruise today and going to probably do the studio.
I lived in a 100 m square apartment for six years (two stints, no less). I spend most of my ship time in quiet corners, or in ports, so a small wash and sleep space, with enough financial benefit, would be fab. I’ve also stayed in Yotel NYC, which was small and weirdly laid out.
I could probably do the size, but not having a window would not work. Even a regular size interior cabin would not work for me. Need that natural light, and a balcony is pretty worthwhile for me. Thanks for sharing!
I've seen some NCL ships that have a video screen where the window is in this one. So you can get a live feed of outside. This one just kinda looked into the hall.
Congrats on 100K As for the cabin - maybe for a short cruise but I'd likely go nuts on a week or more. I'm short so it would be a better fit for me lol
I have a solo cabin booked on Norwegian encore in September 2025. I know how small the room is. I only plan on sleeping and showering and hanging out mostly at the observation lounge and various areas of the ship.
I sailed in a studio cabin on the Getaway and absolutely loved it. But, I was only in there to sleep & shower. I did another solo cruise on the Joy in a regular inside cabin designated for solo travelers. It was bigger than the studio but had less storage and seemed so dark and depressing in comparison to the bright studio. I thought the shower in both was about the same size, but obviously the inside cabin had a regular bathroom with the toilet & sink in it. I did not mind the open concept of the studio and I did leave the door open when I used the toilet because that really was a little tight. I liked being by the solo lounge to get tea without needing to go to the buffet. I don't drink coffee but people were in love with that coffee machine. If I do another solo cruise on NCL, unless there is a big price difference I would choose a studio over a solo inside cabin.
I sailed on the NCL Viva in March to 7 islands (no sea days) from San Juan and my solo studio was great. They did a great job maximizing that small space. Loved the lounge and solo cruiser activities.
I’ve sailed a 23 day back to back on the Prima in a studio cabin. I loved it! However I have also sailed in a studio on the Encore and Bliss. The Prima class introduced the studio cabin with a separate bathroom. A significantly better design!
My first cruise was in a room exactly like that. It wasn't that bad as I kept mywelf busy. I like the extra events for solo travelers. I am currently sitting on the pearl and they don't have the lounge so a lot less worth it to me.
Where did you hang your towels, I suppose you had to get out of the shower to get dry. It’s small, but we have a caravan that we take on road trips, that’s small too, but I think bigger than your room.
I did a 9 night Mediterranean cruise on that exact ship in a room just like that, and it was fine. We were in port everyday, so I wasn't in the room much anyway. I thought storage was fine, although I do use magnet hooks and magnet clips to hang things, and there wasn't a ton of wall space for that, but it was enough.
I liked this cabin on the NCL Getaway on my very first cruise. It didn't have the changeable light colors but I feel that would be a gimmick, fun once but then I would just want white light for getting ready for the day or for bed at night, which was about the only time I was in the room except for naps.
I really like this option. Since the 1990s I have always cruised solo and have found solo discounts. How many people are allowed in the solo cabins. I have rented single occupancy apartments with a shared kitchen. My neighbor had twenty people in her apartment. Just horrible.
This seems about as roomy as the crew cabins often shown on channels such as Chris Wong’s or Bryan James’ channels-so, this probably gives you a perspective on how our crew members have to face life!
I would def try that room out if i go Solo. You gave a really great review of this room. I know this was an NCL Ship and i was wondering if you could share the name of the Ship as well? Thx for honest review !!!
The colors bother me. I hate the "sterile" feel of all the white....looks institutional. A break for the eye with an attractive comforter, a painted wall, or "wood"-loook cabinets would warm it up and make it look cozy. Also, I am not a fan of the colored lights beyond the first 5 minutes for playing with them; looks otherworldly. It would be easier to live with if at least the lounge had views to outdoors - or, better yet, a small, shared balcony.
Have I ever stayed in one of those. Yes. And it was on that ship The Escape my first of only two cruises. Who knows, it could have been that room . I have to go find my key card. I was on the 11th floor where the lounge was situated. I had no problem with it as I'm shorter and didn't need to spend much time there. In fact, I rather preferred being out and about even if it was just for people watching in that area where they do the game shows. I'm curious, what was your total pay and where did you sail from?
@@Cruzelycom Sailing on Celebrity Equinox Jan. 17. 7-days, total is $1240, balcony cabin. Yes, traveling with a friend - singles really get socked with pricing!

Appreciate it. Big shout out to everyone next video!
I sailed in a Studio Cabin on the Escape!! It was a great room for cruising solo. I'm actually booked in a Studio on the Bliss in November. You get your own Studio Lounge too. I would book it again if I needed to.
As a truck driver I believe I could stay in the space but not sure about no windows
Congratulations on 100k! Love your videos. I think I could stay in a solo cabin of that size for maybe a week! Thanks for the tour. Blessings ❤️

Congrats on hitting 100K subscribers.
I am a solo cruiser, but I like having a balcony. I am not sure I could last in this room for a week.
Thanks a ton! It happened while this video was in production, but I plan to make a mention next time.

Dude it’s like the apartment Bruce Willis had in the Fifth Element!! 😂🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have a solo cabin booked on Norwegian encore in September 2025. I know how small the room is. I only plan on sleeping and showering and hanging out mostly at the observation lounge and various areas of the ship.
I frequently cruise NCL just for the solo cabins. Love them

Love your videos!!!
You can always pay double and stay in a cabin twice as large! I’ve stayed in a studio on NCL and enjoyed it and the Studio Lounge.
I’ll be trying a solo cabin on the Celebrity Silhouette in February. Glad you survived!
I love the studios/studio lounge!!! Didn’t realize how much I loved the espresso machine until I didn’t have it on a smaller ship 😂
I’ve stayed in these cabins twice on the Bliss and loved them. Very little foot traffic and quiet.
I’ve sailed a 23 day back to back on the Prima in a studio cabin. I loved it! However I have also sailed in a studio on the Encore and Bliss. The Prima class introduced the studio cabin with a separate bathroom. A significantly better design!

I'm booked for a single cabin on Royal Caribbean late this year. Looking forward to it but we'll see.

Were you on this cruise 12/13 to 12/20?
I was! Were you?
I stayed on the Prima in a studio and loved it.
I really like this option. Since the 1990s I have always cruised solo and have found solo discounts. How many people are allowed in the solo cabins. I have rented single occupancy apartments with a shared kitchen. My neighbor had twenty people in her apartment. Just horrible.
Looks too small for me. My smallest cabin was Oceanias solo cabin with 148 square feet.
Not that bad for a week maybe. I am looking at a 180 day world cruise, it would be the end of me to be in a 100 sqft cabin. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, five days, I good. 7 days, I'm ready to go. 10+ days, I'd be absolutely bouncing off the walls.
I would LOVE to try that room for a 7 day cruise
Been there done that, never again.
would you add this cabin to your naught cruise tips, single and you could play the field
This seems about as roomy as the crew cabins often shown on channels such as Chris Wong’s or Bryan James’ channels-so, this probably gives you a perspective on how our crew members have to face life!
I would not sail in solo cabin because I would feel claustrophobic. I need to have a balcony room or at least a regular size interior.
This looks great to me! I will have to see what prices I get
I just did 10 days in a studio on the Epic. It wasn't bad especially for the price
I've been in that room. The noise is TERRIBLE. You hear everything. Only thing i liked was the cool lights. That's fire
if RCL ever offers this I will try it
I would def try that room out if i go Solo. You gave a really great review of this room. I know this was an NCL Ship and i was wondering if you could share the name of the Ship as well? Thx for honest review !!!
It was Norwegian Escape, mentioned at around the 34sec mark
@ Thank you !
Sorry if someone asked that earlier but what was the other door between the toilet and shower?
Even smaller than the solo cabins on Ovation OTS.
i would love to stay in a cabin like that.
I couldn’t do it ….to small…anxiety watching the video….just me….I’ll find somebody to go 🎉❤
It looks like an upscale jail cell.
Could not do it man. I. Rather pay the double occupancy price for a regular cabin.
Congrats on 100k subs
Thanks! Double for a regular cabin might be what I do next time on a longer cruise.
I would love it!
Nope. Nope. Nope. I appreciate the information so I know it wouldn’t work for me. I sail solo but just couldn’t do this.
Not for me. Thanks for the heads up. I'll pay extra for more space.😊
It looks perfect for me; I’m only 5 feet tall!
You've got fantastic hair!
@GardenerEarthGuy Aww, thanks!
Sounds like a prison cell, without a window.
No thank you!
I'm a tall guy and I absolutely loved a solo cabin. Id rather have a small room by myself than share a balcony with a nagging girlfriend
