I think the studio cabins are a horrible and kind of insulting idea (as in "hey, we're going to try to sell you the worst real estate on the ship and make the ship even more crowded, but we think you'll buy it by giving it a fancy name and marketing it as a "special" option.")

I want to cruise solo on a ship that values me as they do every other passenger, not on a ship that tries to sell me a smaller, less attractive space on a more crowded ship by telling me it's been created specially for people like me.....as if "people like me" (those traveling solo) aren't worth an outside or balcony cabin of a reasonable size. When they offer studio cabins with a balcony, then I'll rethink them.
They're selling space, square feet of space. Am I wrong in thinking it costs less to spend a week in a studio than as a single in an inside cabin? Remember they can sell the inside to 2 people at once. The studio fits exactly one (unless you meet someone ).
