Costs less to the cruise line? Yes
Costs less to the passenger? Sometimes. It depends on the voyage (itinerary, time of year)......Sometimes (not commonly) it's actually cheaper to sail solo in a regular cabin than it is in a studio.
Cruise lines are selling more than space - they're also selling food, drink, activities, and recreational facilities. I'm not opposed to the idea of solo cabins, I just think the ridiculously small size (100 sq ft) and the interior-only options are almost insulting.
