I spent five nights in a studio that measured just under 100 square feet on the Norwegian Getaway.
The interior-facing room had a full-size bed, two wardrobes, a shower, and a small desk.

I stayed in a studio that was less than 100 square feet during my six-day cruise aboard the Norwegian Getaway.

On this specific ship, the studios are located on decks 10 and 11.Lauren Mack

All of the studios are on decks 10 and 11, an area that's only accessible by key card.

The hallways featured blue, green, yellow, and red lighting.Lauren Mack

The inside of my cabin had a stylish, futuristic design.

The carpet in the room had a curved border.Lauren Mack

The full-size bed had plenty of storage space underneath it.

These studios are only available to travelers 21 and older.Lauren Mack

The two wardrobes provided so much storage space that I had room to spare after I unpacked.

The closets had 11 hangers, which allowed me to hang up most of the garments I packed.Lauren Mack

One of the wardrobes had a safe inside, but it was way too small to hold my valuables.

I was glad the studio had a safe, but I wish it would've fit more inside.Lauren Mack

The shower was nice but lacked space, so I used the spa's facilities instead.

I went to the ship's spa to shower instead of washing up in my room.Lauren Mack

Adjacent to the shower, there was a floor-to-ceiling shelving unit.

The bathroom area had a glass shower and a vanity.Lauren Mack

The toilet was enclosed in a separate room.

There wasn't much space to move in the bathroom.Lauren Mack

There was a desk under the TV, but I found it too small to use.

The TV didn't swivel, so it was stuck in a downward angle.Lauren Mack

The one-way window looked out to the corridor.

I could adjust the amount of light coming through the window.Lauren Mack

The various lighting features, from the night-lights to the LED strip lights, made the studio feel airy and spacious.

I read at night using the lights in the headboard.Lauren Mack

The studio didn't have a mini fridge or a kitchenette.

Cruisers staying in studios can order room service, but I never did.Lauren Mack

The two-story studio lounge was directly outside my door, which was very convenient.

The lounge had a bar, a wine machine, and snacks.Lauren Mack

I could skip the crowded buffet and bar lines in the ship's main areas and go to the lounge instead.

The lounge was stocked with pastries, coffee, and other beverages.Lauren Mack

The lounge's top floor had plenty of additional seating.

Only guests staying in studio rooms had access to the lounge.Lauren Mack

This compact cabin was fine for a short trip, but I probably wouldn't book it for a longer sail.

People who don't mind small spaces and don't get seasick should consider booking a studio.Lauren Mack
