There can't be a window in the Solo lounge because it's in the middle of the ship. I love cruising NCL as a Solo traveler. I've made friends from all over the world. It's great!
I love the NCL solo inside cabins. So much more usable space than you’d expect. Last cruise I was traveling at Xmas with family on the Encore the kids (8 yo) really, really wanted a room like mine. 😂 I can’t wait to try out the other new solo categories.
You are such a handsome guy. I see your videos have switched gears since the last time I watched I also used to work on cruise ships, as you did too, in fact I did two NCL ships back in the day. Mainly worked on Princess Cruises ships. Those solo cabins look pretty good and that lounge is almost to much to ask for. Some of the cruise lines occasionally offer reduced solo occupancy surcharge and there is a travel website that one can view to find deals like that. I'm glad I found your channel again.
thank you! I've been trying to find a cruise for a solo but the costs are just insane. I'm not a fan of the inside rooms at all..I need the balcony, not a coffin! I may have to investigate a bit more, even when I looked at the NCL website they were still showing double for solos
I love Escape too. It's my favorite ship! I've been on it three times. Epic has the biggest and best solo lounge of all the ships, with the bartender coming in, but the ship needs to be refurbed now. I just was on it for the third time in December 2023. I will wait until 2025 after the refurb to go back on it again. 🤗
I’ve sailed on the Norwegian encore as a solo in the studio, and I loved it. I’ve sailed twice on the escape as well both times and studios once was an amazing experience. The second was extremely disappointing. The host on the disappointing cruise was lame and clearly did not want the position. In my opinion, the encore is a better ship than the escape.
This is very interesting as l never thought cruising was suitable for single or solo people. As it seems to be very lonely for, singles hence l even might consider to one day do a cruise holiday. Thank you for the information.
Cruising is the BEST for solos. Because everyone in the shop is on holiday it's easy to meet friendly people to hang out with. Way harder to meet people if you just travel to new places on land. You're not going to strike up a conversation at a restaurant, but it's easy to do on a cruise. I met so many people, not just other solos, when I cruised solo, but also really enjoyed the solitude
Bro thank you thank you thank you. I'm a solo traveler and have been looking for a video like this. I believe the Cruise line that financially figures out the solo traveler market + couples + family/groups will when the next 2 decades. Never been on the NCL brand but they owe you some free trips because I'm definitely going due to your video. I appreciate it. Happy traveling!
No, but even the smaller ships that don't have solo cabins still have the solo meetups on every ship. So, then you just meet in a bar or another venue. They treat their solos the best. I've done a bunch of solo cruises with NCL. I'm Sapphire status. I love it.
I also wanted to tell you that the NCL solo cruise is Indeed fantastic. Very futuristic I agree , very cozy and always lively with your new « friends » that you meet back after your excursions for the evening. I am going back at the end of the year . Ncl solo rocks !
did a solo room in the encore, there's a tv with outside camera instead of that window, otherwise the same room. Loved the room and its super quiet for sleeping. Wasn't the biggest fan for cloths storage, but overall, two thumbs up.
I did my first cruise on The NCL Breakaway and it was perfect. I liked the cozy feel and the private hallway! It was super quiet and not noise at all. I was able to get in any resturant too. Haven't had an issue. My favorite was the MDRs Savoy and Taste, and loved the Manhattan restaurants. The buffet left me cold and O'Sheehan was dull to me. Other wise i had a great trip and the excursions were amazing!! It was great and will do it again.
Hey J. It does have a futuristic feel. Tight balcony. I’m 5’8 and hubby 6’1. Our knees will be rammed in the glass. But don’t spend hours on the balcony so not a dealbreaker if every cruised solo. Shows. Parties. Breakdancing. Can have a good time on Norwegian. Thanks much.
Great video. Needed and useful. Anything to help us Solo Travelers. But I am disappointed I didn't see you on the Dance Floor. Get out there and have some fun.
Definitely loving the concept and yay for NCL accomodating solos, really catches my attention. 🎉🎉How many cabins are serviced by the solo lounge? That solo cabin looked SUPER tight though with the shower basically in the room. And bummed they don't seem to have solo balcony cabins yet, maybe one day, lol.
This man is too knowledgeable to let that happen to him. Agree with you though love his videos and would hate anything to happen; BUT he knows the rules and follows. King!!!
Ben and David like to whine a lot, who really knows what their experience was. Sorry Jay - for negativity on your excellent channel. It was a relief to come back to your knowledgeable and entertaining content.
I liked seeing the different ways solos can travel on NCL. What I'm wondering about is the price difference between Solo Studio, Solo balcony, & solo with an inside cabin??
Hi, thank you for a great video. I'm sensitive to cigarette smoke - can you let me know if you can smell it in the public areas near the open air casino on the Breakaway
No, not really. Not a lot of younger people that are hanging out with the solo group meet-ups and activities. Sometimes a few and they're usually really great. In fact, the average age group for the meetups is 45+ to 60. There are some other people that are Solo in the cabins that are extras with family members in larger cabins, or they just want to be alone, but the solo wing inside, you have to key in, is so great and quiet, that you don't see those people a lot, except passing them in the hallway. You don't have to see anyone or you can go to the solo meetups, any day. Meetups are before dinner time. We go to dinner, activities...It's so much! I've made friends from all over the world and also frequently travel with a friend that I met on one of the solo cruises too. I've done about 14 cruises with NCL, all as a Solo traveler. I am Sapphire status now and then you get even more good perks. Plus, the beverage package NCL has is the best in the business. If you're thinking about trying it, you should! Escape is my favorite ship. It used to be Epic, which still has the best solo lounge of all the ships. I've been on it three times, but my last one in December 2023, I just felt the ship needed to be refurbed. I will wait until after the refurb in 2025 to go back again on that one. I have been on Escape three times too. Love it!🛳️🍹😊
What’s the deal with NCL not giving PAX outlets EVERYWHERE in the room? Was just on the Pearl for an 11 day (WAY too long) last December and hardly any outlets. Phones, CPAP, laptops, hearing aids for some, on and on…WTF.
I really enjoy Norwegian solo meetings, however, I am done with Norwegian. I am a platinum latitude member with Norwegian. I asked for the Price Drop credits or a cabin up grade! Five times NCL refused to honor its Price Drop. On the last Cruise they gave Cameron $700. I refuse to allow NCL to discriminate and abuse me anymore! Not Cool!

NCL is the best cruiseline for solo travelers
I booked the Solo balcony for my cruise this past January on the NCL Bliss. It was awesome! Had a great time with me, myself and I. 😄
Good to hear that you had a blast. I'll be going on the Bliss myself this December to Panama out of LAX........
Anytime you see Jt breakdancing you know it’s a party 😂😂
Jt henomad? 😭🤣

I LOVE the Solo cabin/Solo Studio Lounge Concept. I've sailed twice (Encore and Escape) and am booked for the Viva and Bliss later this year.
Sounds like NCL is the cruiseline for Solos. My only issue would be there should be Windows in rhe Solo Lounge.
There can't be a window in the Solo lounge because it's in the middle of the ship. I love cruising NCL as a Solo traveler. I've made friends from all over the world. It's great!
We were on the cruise as well. It was our first cruise. We had a great time, and it was cool quickly meeting you onboard.
Great to see JTHENOMAD out and about again. Let's go for a cruise.
If you are on that ship now, my BIL, SIL, and niece are on there.
I’m going to give NCL a try.
I love the NCL solo inside cabins. So much more usable space than you’d expect. Last cruise I was traveling at Xmas with family on the Encore the kids (8 yo) really, really wanted a room like mine. 😂 I can’t wait to try out the other new solo categories.
Bro my girlfriend and I were on the same cruise as you! Fire break dancing you did at the bliss lounge 😂😂🔥
You are such a handsome guy. I see your videos have switched gears since the last time I watched I also used to work on cruise ships, as you did too, in fact I did two NCL ships back in the day.

Great video J! I love traveling solo with NCL! 😄 Your dancing is fantastic and unbelievable! 😊
That guy spinning on his headtop is litt. He my mood for my next cruise
That Norwegian Breakaway Solo cruise is tempting, love the cabins, especially the showers and the lounge area!!!! Enjoy 🛳️🛳️
I've been waiting to hear more content about solo cruising. Thank you! 🤗❤️
I love how NCL caters to solo travelers.
I remember cleaning the solo cabins on the Pride of America back in 2014. NCl was first with the solo cabins…
Ill be in the solo cabin on breakaway 3/17. Thanks for the preview
Welcome back. I was starting to.wonder if everything is ok on your end. No content for a week.
Glad to see the video. I like the rooms.
thank you! I've been trying to find a cruise for a solo but the costs are just insane. I'm not a fan of the inside rooms at all..I need the balcony, not a coffin! I may have to investigate a bit more, even when I looked at the NCL website they were still showing double for solos
I think cruise costs in general are just insane right now. Not just solo costs
Never sailed NCL. I need to check it out. I am impressed with the rooms shown.
Just saw this ship in New Orleans kast weekend..I was wondering about it...Thanks..
I recently did a transatlantic cruise in a studio cabin on the Norwegian Getaway! So great!
Finally an NCL cruise Jay lol
I wish they would offer more balcony solo cabins
I loved my Solo Cabin on the NCL Escape. I found the lounge a little underwhelming but the studio cabin was great. No complaints.
I love Escape too. It's my favorite ship! I've been on it three times. Epic has the biggest and best solo lounge of all the ships, with the bartender coming in, but the ship needs to be refurbed now.

I'm a big NCL solo cruiser. I love it.
Great video Jay. Norwegian is a great cruiseline. I was on the Gem and would do this in a heartbeat!🎉
Bro thank you thank you thank you. I'm a solo traveler and have been looking for a video like this.

You should definitely go on NCL as a solo. It's a blast. I've done a bunch. So much fun!
LOVE the solo option on NCL. Unfortunately, it’s not available on all their ships.
No, but even the smaller ships that don't have solo cabins still have the solo meetups on every ship. So, then you just meet in a bar or another venue. They treat their solos the best. I've done a bunch of solo cruises with NCL. I'm Sapphire status. I love it.
That looks so much better than some of the other Solo rooms I've seen covered.
I like the solo!😊
I also wanted to tell you that the NCL solo cruise is Indeed fantastic. Very futuristic I agree , very cozy and always lively with your new « friends » that you meet back after your excursions for the evening. I am going back at the end of the year . Ncl solo rocks !

Nice to see the other solo cabins. I’ve only seen the futuristic one on another video. The one with the balcony looks nice!

I'll be on the Epic in a few weeks for 3+ weeks. I am doing solo interior and solo studio so I'll get time in each.
Great video. Needed and useful. Anything to help us Solo Travelers. But I am disappointed I didn't see you on the Dance Floor. Get out there and have some fun.
so good to see a cruise video.
Not bad but TV’s in the rooms could be larger and have mounts that pull out if not centered with the bed.
Definitely loving the concept and yay for NCL accomodating solos, really catches my attention. 🎉🎉How many cabins are serviced by the solo lounge? That solo cabin looked SUPER tight though with the shower basically in the room. And bummed they don't seem to have solo balcony cabins yet, maybe one day, lol.
Thanks for the tour. Nice ship.
LOVE the solo balcony cabin! Good to keep in mind when/if I ever want to cruise w/o the bf.
I will be on The Encore on my sail to Alaska on September 29, 2024.
You break dancing to pop smoke made my day 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I have a solo cabin booked on NCL in July 2025.
Be careful if you go on MSC because look at what happened to Ben and David. Banned from MSC 😢. Upset. Ps I like your blogs
I’ll be talking that soon
This man is too knowledgeable to let that happen to him. Agree with you though love his videos and would hate anything to happen; BUT he knows the rules and follows. King!!!
Also they were only banned from filming and yh it wasn't the first cruise that was bad with msc@@jthenomad8093
Ben and David like to whine a lot, who really knows what their experience was.
Sorry Jay - for negativity on your excellent channel. It was a relief to come back to your knowledgeable and entertaining content.
Ha ha. Those two are a bit dramatic.
Hands down NCL is the best for Solo cruisers. I love the studio lounge 😊
EXCELLENT video! Is there a mini fridge in the studio room?
I liked seeing the different ways solos can travel on NCL. What I'm wondering about is the price difference between Solo Studio, Solo balcony, & solo with an inside cabin??
Lmao. I'm not gonna lie. The lighting in the hallway of the solo lounges is creeping me out; I'd run! Lol.
I'm always interested seeing what is offered for solo cruising. Thanks J!
BTW, at 4:15, where is that? The water is so murky brown!😲
Those rooms look killer.
"I'm not a big guy". Same, lol, when you told your height and weight I thought you were talking about me.
Thank you for the video!
POP SMOKE IN THE CLUB?!?!? Might have to go check out Norwegian asap.
Hey there Jay. Check this out, I was watching tv earlier and I swear I seen you in a television commercial!! Was that you?
Nice video. I'm looking to do my first solo cruise on NCL. Do they have solos activities that are provided just for solos cruiser?
My only disappointment is that the solo cabins are not much less than the regular interior cabins. Ive considered giving them a try though
Hi, thank you for a great video. I'm sensitive to cigarette smoke - can you let me know if you can smell it in the public areas near the open air casino on the Breakaway
when did you embark ? i set sail on breakaway on march 3rd. out of Nola... assuming you boarded in Nola ?? i was on floor 5 as well. nice ship
That shirt is nice.
Nice staterooms 👍
Nice to be able to get an interior and only pay for a single!
Great video. Did you list prices?
You didn't say how much it cost. Or did I miss that?
I could never do an inside cabin.
You got to do a Ben and David reaction
Hi
Like 2 do solo cruise how to book
Does solo usually mean younger crowds or am I mistake n
No, not really. Not a lot of younger people that are hanging out with the solo group meet-ups and activities. Sometimes a few and they're usually really great. In fact, the average age group for the meetups is 45+ to 60.

Escape is my favorite ship. It used to be Epic, which still has the best solo lounge of all the ships. I've been on it three times, but my last one in December 2023, I just felt the ship needed to be refurbed. I will wait until after the refurb in 2025 to go back again on that one. I have been on Escape three times too. Love it!🛳️🍹😊

Five times NCL refused to honor its Price Drop. On the last Cruise they gave Cameron $700.
I refuse to allow NCL to discriminate and abuse me anymore! Not Cool!
There should always be solo options always found it bullshit a lot of lines make you pay for 2 as a solo
My Error. Did not realize you were break dancing at the end of the Video.
Can someone explain to me why you would choose an inside cabin?
I’ve never been on a cruise but I assume inside cabins are much more affordable.
@@LluviadeOrugas they are! But what would be the point?
Ok too small for my stretch 6'2 self
That cabin is too small
do you wash your hair after your spin on the floor like that? lol
