I was in a studio cabin on both the Escape and Bliss. The bathroom is so much better on this ship. Sad that theres no Refrigerator just like there was none on Escape and Bliss. Not a major issue but i got a stomach virus on Escape and when medical gave me water i had no place to ti put it...thanks for everything you do.
I really enjoyed that single room walk through!!! If I was traveling alone, I know I would love this set up!!!! Even traveling with one of my friends, I would surely consider each of us getting our own Single room!!! I’m loving the layout and space! That solo lounge is really nice, the refreshments and very thoughtful they have meetings/ meet up for solo guess
You've never been in a studio in the other ships. Usually the toilet is in a closet in the corner and the other corner is the shower, so having a separate bathroom is FANCY!
@@rgruenhaus you have no evidence there is no evidence. Fact is, there is a lot of evidence, all kinds of it, borne out of logic, historical evidence, literary evidence, and even material evidence pointing to the supernatural. Stop parroting what others have said, it is just false to say there is no evidence, you just do not know about it, and unfortunately, most like you do not even want to see it or engage with it, because that would be a huge burden for you to research and then the ramifications that come thereafter.
From what I have read, the first generation of solo cabins on NCL had full-sized beds but with the Encore/Bliss/Prima they switched to a size found in the UK called a "small double" which is about 5' more narrow than a standard full...but still 10" wider than a standard twin.
Why can't the Solo Cabins Lounge be placed on the hull of the ship and have at least some windows on the outside of the ship? A balcony off the lounge would be even better. The lounge might even get some use.
I never been on NCL. Love the design of the solo cabin and lounge it is very nice. Enjoy your cruise. Oh $1800 for solo is very reasonable for 10 day cruise.
Just want to note that the room layout here is different than the typical layout that you will find on the other "older" NCL ships. I like the direction they went with this ship, and the room layout seems more thought out and better overall than the other Studio's I've stayed in. However, just wanted to mention that the Prima seems unique/different compared to the rest of the fleet.
Hi Jay! That room is so tiny but definitely has some amazing features and is styled nicely! But Jay I am curious to know what made you choose the studio cabin in comparison to the ocean view cabin or the inside cabin that was much cheaper? I am only asking because I have traveled by myself before and was curious about staying in a studio cabin but now seeing one I’m nervous about doing so. Can you please shed some knowledge without giving too much personal information about your decision when it came to making that room choice?
Having cruised twice by myself on Carnival years ago, I would have LOVED to have a solo cruise option like this. As much as I enjoy an oceanview cabin, that would be well worth the price.
I absolutely ADORE all of the wood and black accents in these rooms - it just looks SO much more stylish than the gloss white-effect that I had in my studio cabin on NCL Escape - very well done, Norwegian!
Awesome video! Thank you...liked and subscribed. I'm booked for this coming December 2022 in a Studio Cabin. Having this option (no upcharge for being solo traveler) allows me to possibly cruise twice a year instead of once. As long as i'm on the ship, I get the same access as everyone else (minus the Haven peeps) to everything, plus I'll have the Studio Lounge. NCL did a great thing when thinking about solo travelers. Keep the great content coming.
Good morning from Boston Jay, another fantastic vlog my brother!! I sailed on Encore in a solo cabin and WILL book one of these cabins again. I loved the exclusivity and upgrades to the cabin, especially the bathroom/shower design, I'm glad to see that the outlets have been taken out of the cubby shelf as well as the storage space, taking into account that it is for one person. The only thing I can't fathom is why there are no mini fridges in any of these cabins as I would think they may be a necessity as opposed to an amenity. I love the lounge concept with coffees and snacks 24/7 (on Encore they were always fresh) and the addition of the beer station was a great idea too. For the time spent in the cabin, the size really wasn't remotely an issue for me. As far a pricing, I felt the fare was a bit of a saving from the dreaded strict "X2 single supplement". Overall, NCL hit a home run with this concept. I look forward to experiencing Prima someday. Sorry to be long winded but I really believe in this initiative NCL has given us. All good tidings Jay, Cheers!!
The price of an oceanview or balcony room is PER person and you have to book a 2nd person in the room with you or pay the price x 2. That is a Full-sized bed, a twin bed is only 36 inches wide. The Studio Lounge is beautiful, perfect place to get work done or answer emails. IF NCL could get Starlink or similar speed, it would be fantastic!
Depending on the sailing, even with the 2x price requirement an inside room is sometimes still cheaper than going with a Studio room. It is the case for me on an upcoming sailing at the end of this year. I know it sounds strange, but I guess it just depends on their overall supply/demand for each room class. The inside room ended up being about $140 cheaper for a 7-day cruise.
@@jonnieinbangkok the exemption for the solo supplement often happens after the final payment is due so be ready to pay for your full ticket when you book.
I don’t know about the inside categories, but the Prima does have Solo Oceanview. It also comes with use of the lounge. They are advertising that Solo Balconies will be avail in Jan.
I love that the bathroom is all together, not sink or toilet in separate space from shower. The dual use door is genius. Cute room, alright NCL Prima. Great video
Hey J. Nice they have a lounge for solo travelers. Lots of drawers for storage and enough to hang your clothes. But can a woman’s king dress hang there?🤔. Lighting looks good. The bed looks bigger than a twin but smaller than a double. Oh. Another closet for dresses. So you can see right into the bathroom. The bathroom is nice. Shower looks roomy. Nice lounge. Like no one is in there. Coffee, snacks, fruit, croissants 🥐, cookies 🍪. Nice. Beer too? I see board games. Is there a restroom in there? $1800 not bad for a 10 day. But Jay. If one person stayed in an inside cabin , they would pay based on double occupancy so it would’ve been $3400 for 1 in an inside. So a studio solo cabin will always be a little more than an interior. I rather pay $1800 in a smidge smaller room than $3400 in a slightly bigger interior. Thanks for sharing and see you next video.
I just sailed the Getaway in a solo studio-I like the addition of drawers which the Getaway didn't have. I agree with the water-even Carnival is generous with water. At least two bottles should be offered per cabin. The bed is definitely smaller. I like the bathroom setup-on the Getaway I felt like I was in a bathroom for a travel trailer. This is nice and open. They added shelving for bathroom and towel racks- Getaway didn't have them. I am surprised to see the lounge is as big as it is. Maybe guests will utilize more since no one really bothered on my sailing. Great video-def on my list for upcoming cruises. Thanks!
I’m also on the Getaway in February. Where was the electrical plugs & how many did you have? Any USB sockets? Anything else to to know about the studio stateroom on the Getaway? Thanks!
@Paul Wilgus Thank you very much. What you described is what I have seen in videos. The new studio on the new Prima is quite an upgrade as you can see from the video I posted.
I'm booked on the Prima for Dec 2023 in the solo cabin. Don't know how I feel about being in an inside cabin, but I'm going to give it a go. The size of the room doesn't bother me at all.
While the bottles or carton water is not free (and it should be) we brought our water bottles to any bar and they filled with water. We also have our steward put a pitcher of water in our room at night.
$1800? When you could have an ocean view? I guess I’m too claustrophobic. You did a delightful walk-through. I had a singles cabin (i think it was a singles cabin - it was pretty small) on the RC Grandeur and my estimation is it was twice as big as NCL’s. Of course, the Prima is a brand new, high tech, top of the line ship. On my cruise there was no lounge or key coded entry either. But I could walk through the room even with a closet door open. You’re not there for the room though - it’s all about bumper cars and mega slides! There’s a lot of fun to be had!
Ditto on the claustrophobia. Particularly when the seas are rough as they can be on this route. Took a similar route on RC but had a suite. It helped a lot to see the water when it got really rough. I would have been a mess without a window!
I think it's a decent size considering as a Navy sailor we only get a small coffin rack for months on end. However, if it around the same price of a oceanview or whatnot it would probably be better to just get that instead of the solo cabin.
That lounge is beautiful. I have always avoided a cruise because I prefer to travel solo but refuse to pay the exorbitant (to me) fees. Thank you so much for the tour of your room and the lounge.
@@FraserAtSea I totally agree, NCL is the line to go with for solo cruising. I began my cruise journeys on the NCL Epic back when they first introduced the solo cabins and loved the experience. The solo lounge areas are amazing places to relax.
@@mike07646 oh, I was meant to do Epic out of Barcelona right before COVID, but had to cancel annoyingly. I’m hoping to get back on to record content for my TH-cam channel on NCL soon - I love them!
Thank for showing the studio. I feel like if one doesn't stay in it this whole area will be hidden. Maybe it is diff. I saw another youtuber video a few days ago and ghat how I first learned about this ship. But her cruise drink and food were included from Iceland cruise. I also search and I saw drink, even specialist restaurants, internet and excursion will be included. Am I wrong?
Glad NCL is normalizing solo cruising. Less questions from the ignorant basics asking, why are you by yourself? Aren’t you bored? Where are your friends?
Hi, thanks for the informative video. I traveled on the NCL Escape last November for my birthday (my 1st cruise). I'm going on my 2nd NCL in about 3 weeks on the Breakaway. I do travel solo. The only issue I had as a solo traveler was trying to find the Solo travelers get together in the Studio Lounge along with another solo traveler. I will clarify. Some solo travelers select other types of rooms. However, when the daily newsletter from the ship states a single or solo traveler get together followed by a crew member arranging for us to get a larger table for us to talk and meet over dinner at one of the restaurants, those of us who do not have lounge access have a hard time gettingbto where the group starts in the lounge. Do you know what I mean? I think it would be a good idea for the schedule staff to post a general place for us to meet, and have a crew member have reservations for a smaller group (about 10 to 12 people) at a couple of restaurants with reservations about 30 minutes apart where they can escort a group to the selected restaurants. It seems that if you are a solo traveler and not in a studio lounge room, you are ignored. At least give us access to the studio lounge for coffee, tea and cookies if we want a snack! Can you alert NCL about this? Thank you.
Did the cabin feel small? I cruise solo and I would be afraid of it feeling tiny. I do like that they have the little lounge area. Even on Royal when I have been looking at the solo balcony cabins they are more expensive then if I were to book a regular balcony. So of course I will take the regular balcony for the space.
Good question - I didn't think my studio room felt 'small' per se, but the trick is to be clever with the space. If you keep it tidy, it'll be the perfect room!
I did NCL studio solo on the Viva and although it was small. It was fine. I’m 5’11 and it was small but the bed was big and comfortable. The lounge was generally quiet most of the time. I could fill up my water bottle without and glaring looks at the Seaside buffet
I don't understand, the oceanview and other place are less expensive? Is that because they are per person without excursions? Why would you not book those? Thanks!
This video was tastefully done, thanks!🎉 I want to experience this one too. My question to you is, "whats the reason you didn't book the inside cabin instead, since you stated it was cheaper?
Thank you so much for this review! I'm a solo traveler so this is very helpful! With the room being so small, how is the outside noise? Is the room quiet?
I found my studio cabin on NCL to be absolutely silent. You're actually quite far away from the outside of the ship here, so no risk of ocean noise. The rooms themselves are pretty well insulated, so you shouldn't be disturbed from the corridors! Also, the Studio corridors are usually pretty quiet due to being in the separate 'secured' area, and the rest of the public can't access!
I think the beds are a twin or full and your right it is super comfortable. I sail on the Bliss. I've done a seven day Mexican and 16 day Panama canal crossing in a studio. I only wish there was a mini fridge.
I saw an article that mentioned in 2023 we would get 6 ltrs of water in the room free, but when on the Breakaway they claimed it was a promo, which is not what the article said!
I would prefer this over an ocean view. Having a window overlooking the ocean is like staring at a delicious piece of cake behind a display. It’s a tease. I would choose balcony or solo.
wow, that's surprising that the solo lounge is empty most of the time! i'd probably hang out there most of the time just for the snacks and drinks alone if i weren't at the pool or on the outer decks...
I would like some info on special guest artist on a cruise ships because there contacts are shorter. I've been fallowing you for around a year. I'm a musician that has never done cruise ships as a job. Stay blessed my friend.
I think the lounge needed some outside balcony space. It all seemed a bit claustrophobic. What were the doors in the lounge leading to, were they quiet space rooms if you wanted to read or work?
I am thinking the same thing! If there was some balcony space and and a refrigerator/cooler in the room; it would be absolutely perfect! Just need the smell of the ocean and cup of coffee to start my day before I get fully dressed to meet the masses! ☕️

Beautiful room. I love the finishes on this ship

Great review Jay!!
Quick question my Girlfriend and I will be on the Carnival Celebration first US Cruise on November 21st. Will you be going as well?
I like the room and the lounge except I wish they had a mini fridge.
That bed is not twin size; it's between a twin and double size

The blow dryer is placed exactly where it should have placed. Instead of taking up extra drawer space at the vanity. Nicely done
Make sure you go to the Solo group. It's not a singles group. It's for people cruising without their friends or partners. You'll love it!
The studio lounge looks great, especially if you can get soda, coffee & snacks whenever you want.

Lol, looks like that space was tailor made for your TH-cam plaque, Influencer space 😆

Not bad though
Great video. Would love to see a full ship tour of Prima. Keep up your great work!
She looks like a stunning ship!
I spent so little time in my room when I cruse, a bed, a bathroom, place to put clothes and a TV is fine
Wow Jay! That’s really nice! The only thing I’d miss would be an ocean view.
Looks like xlarge twin

Heck if the Oceanview is not that much more than a studio I’d book that over the solo cabin.

On the Breakaway the Studio lounge has no fruit or soda. The Epic had fruit and pastries.
All I can say Jay is , Live Life , Live Large and Above ALL
ENJOY .....And
Cruise ON !!!
Hey man I have a Question can you bring your lugged on yourself or do they have to bring it on
It’s probably a Twin XL, like what they put in dorms, so it works better for adult men or you could get up to night time activities better.
Who was the comedian you saw boarding the ship. I know Frank Townsend is on the ship. He is fantastic
Still paying premium prices for solo in what is a cupboard.
man i wish NCL sails to my area, i would totally go on them if i dont have to fly hours and hours to get on them.

J I'd give u a run for ur money playing monopoly it's my favourite game n I'm super good at it. Thanks for sharing this video
Great tour and info. Looking forward to your next vlogs of your cruise! Bon voyage.
Great informative video. Will be in a Solo room in 3 weeks and this makes me more excited.
I think the beds are a twin or full and your right it is super comfortable. I sail on the Bliss. I've done a seven day Mexican and 16 day Panama canal crossing in a studio. I only wish there was a mini fridge.
What is difference between studio and solo. I booked a studio and am charged for 2?
I saw an article that mentioned in 2023 we would get 6 ltrs of water in the room free, but when on the Breakaway they claimed it was a promo, which is not what the article said!
Enjoyed the tour, on the inside and ocean view do you have to buy for 2 passengers or just 1? Keep up the good work and enjoy your trip.
Hi Cruising Jay. I'm so glad you are happy with your cruise. TY for showing us around. But I need a balcony lol. Love ya too and have a great time!!
excellent explanation and tour.
Live the room and lounge. My first time seeing both. NICE!
Same! I really like it!
Did you get your Oreo Cheesecake? How about the Death by Chocolate?
Where is this section located? (fwd, mid or aft)
I would prefer this over an ocean view. Having a window overlooking the ocean is like staring at a delicious piece of cake behind a display. It’s a tease. I would choose balcony or solo.
Does the coffee machine in the Studio Lounge have decaf and hot chocolate?
Thank you, I have a studio for the March 19th sailing.
wow, that's surprising that the solo lounge is empty most of the time! i'd probably hang out there most of the time just for the snacks and drinks alone if i weren't at the pool or on the outer decks...
I would like some info on special guest artist on a cruise ships because there contacts are shorter. I've been fallowing you for around a year. I'm a musician that has never done cruise ships as a job. Stay blessed my friend.
Do blind people cruise? I saw braille on the panel in the room
Is the studio cabin area cabin area behind the same door?
Wow I never knew this this is so cool thinking I’ll be booking one of these thanks❤
Ok your on the prima. Small room small price
Small cabin. Short tour.
I need a Job .... Help me get a position in this ship
Thanks! Ive been waiting for this type of review. Im sailing on the Prima out of Galveston on Halloween in a cabin.
What an amazing time to be on the ship - Halloween will be a LOT of fun!
I think the lounge needed some outside balcony space. It all seemed a bit claustrophobic. What were the doors in the lounge leading to, were they quiet space rooms if you wanted to read or work?
I am thinking the same thing! If there was some balcony space and and a refrigerator/cooler in the room; it would be absolutely perfect! Just need the smell of the ocean and cup of coffee to start my day before I get fully dressed to meet the masses! ☕️

glad to hear it was freezing, we sleep hot and I cannot deal with royals rooms not getting cold. they barely even get cooler
Do they have solo balcony suites?
Booked a studio cabin on May 7th
yes the lighting in royal rooms with no natural light sucks so this is good
Soooo smaller room more expensive than a larger room????
I wondered if there is a fridge in the solo rooms?
I love this idea of studio cabins! I wish they had them in the way back when I was single as I would have cruised a lot more!! I'll be on the Prima in December!
Thank you for this video. I might change my cruise from the escape and get 2 cabins in the Solo area for me and my grand daughter.
enjoyed this idk why lol
