The cruise lines have run the numbers and I guess the numbers suggest that most of the time it is better to have 2 in every cabin in order to sell drinks, tours, stuff in on board shops etc. Hat's off to Norweigan for the studio concept. No matter what size the cabin is, everything else onboard is the same.
BTW, 100% single supplement is not the same price as 2 people since you don't pay the port charges for the 2nd person.
