    I'm glad cruise lines are offering more cabins for people who choose to cruise alone or want their own cabin. This is a very nice cabin, I would book it.

    Beautiful cabin I wish more cruise-lines would accommodate solo travellers, and not keep treating us as second-class citizens.

      I’ve stayed in NCL’s studio for an 11 day cruise and even tho it was only 99 square feet it had everything I needed - for a short cruise. I’m 28 days away from getting on the Bliss for a 21 day cruise from L.A. to N.Y. via the Panama Canal and I have a balcony cabin. When I was looking for my next cruise this one listed the starting price for a studio was more than a balcony! Yes, less! So the lesson to take away from this - always check the options! And yes, I wish Carnival would have options for solo travellers.

    My feeling is that Princess seems to be one of the few cruise lines that do not offer Solo Cruisers any discounts or Solo cabins, that said their Balcony rooms are very spacious giving you just over 230 sqft of living area, if your on a lengthy cruise you really want that space to move around and not bash your head on some object or corner. Great Video.👌🏼

    Great solo cabin!!! So glad to see the newer ships have a U.S. plug by the bed because many of us need to sleep with CPAP machines and they don't have USB ports. :-) Also, the bathroom is a BIG PLUS as the Solo Cabins at NCL have all the solo cabins as interiors, with the bathroom in the room and not separated by a door!! Oh my.

    The magnetic sign to put outside of our door on Liberty of the Seas said 'Out catching thrills' on one side and 'Sleeping off the adventure' on the other. Our problem. We would forget to flip it over when we left and our room wouldn't get cleaned. :-( One day we didn't put the sign out at all. Later the steward said he came in. His comment about it. 'You guys were zonked'.

I hope doubles leave these for singles as I read they allow 2 people. Good on RCL for making rooms with balconies for us solo travelers. 👏🏼

    I have never seen a solo cabin available on Royal Caribbean until recently. I booked Odyssey of the Seas for a sailing out of Rome in 2025 and saw a solo balcony and grabbed it. It was significantly less expensive than a regular balcony! I'm so glad I ran across this video because it's probably the same cabin as on the Odyssey.

    I'm a solo traveler and always pay double...(usually no options for single cabins with balconies...). But I've grown to hate those tiny stools even in the full size cabins since I spend a lot of time in my cabin typing on my laptop several times a day. So, I now demand a chair and will choose my cabin / cruise line accordingly. I also want a large work area and not something that is small and littered with the things I never use... trays with Tea Kettles, etc. I know the cruise line expects no one to need/want to use a desk and and do work but I'm an exception. Thanks Tony.
