Ant@sea Posted May 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I’ll be sailing shortly on the Getaway as a single in a balcony cabin and wondering how I’ll be accommodated in the dining room. I’d previously sailed in the Breakaway as a single in one of the Studio cabins and the studio concierge always asked who’d like to dine and formed a table, so I never had to dine alone. I’d appreciate any guidance from other singles who’ve sailed before outside of the Studio area accommodations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricksurf Posted May 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2023 They will ask you if you would like to join another table at check in. Also, the concierge in the Studios has posted in the past that any Single on board can join their group at the Studios for dinners, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnChiang Posted May 22, 2023 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2023 All solo travelers are welcome to attend the solo meetings held nightly in the studio lounge. Just knock on the door during the meeting times and someone will always let you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrown84 Posted May 22, 2023 #4 Share Posted May 22, 2023 They can sit you at a table by yourself if you want. But you can also dine with the other solo travelers. The solo meetings are not limited to just those in the solo cabins. They will prop open the door to the studio lounge for the nightly solo meetings if the meetings are being held in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare www3traveler Posted May 22, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Check your Freestyle Daily as Solo Gatherings (at around 5:30 P.M. or so) are sometimes held at one of the bars rather than the Studio Lounge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted May 22, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I always seem to manage to have a lot of fun with solo group and not just for dining. Some of us end up going on tours, dances, shows, etc.... lots of fun. Hope you end up having a great time on your cruise, good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant@sea Posted May 22, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Thank you all for the replies. An NCL rep used to call me if I’d been surfing the NCL web site but was unable to tell me if singles outside the studio were welcome at their gatherings. Now I feel more comfortable. 12 days until Getaway transatlantic! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillygwm Posted May 23, 2023 #9 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I've done both: Dined solo in specialty restaurants and dined with people I met up with impromptu. As others have stated, there are the organized singles gatherings as well, which I'm told are nice, though they're not my thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare maren91 Posted May 23, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Travel solo quite a bit lately (just need some quiet and a good book) and always dine solo in the dining rooms without issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will sit and read or do some people watching,,, but don’t need that people at my table telling me about their day. No thank you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdex9 Posted May 24, 2023 #12 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Just to confirm what others have said: I have sailed solo outside of the studios and it's never been a problem to have a table for myself at either the main dining rooms or speciality restaurants.
