7-day Cruise to the Caribbean on NCL Epic - January 2024

NCL Epic

7-day Cruise to the Caribbean on NCL Epic - January 2024After returning from my cruise to Alaska, I was hooked. I wasn’t sure about cruising to the Caribbean, but I thought it was a warm place to go and get out of the Idaho winter.

This was my first solo cruise experience with Norweigan Cruise Lines. I stayed in a studio cabin, which has access to an exclusive studio lounge on the ship.

Solo travelers have a coordinator from the cruise director’s team. Each evening, there is a solo meetup, usually in the studio lounge. I had dinner often with other solo travelers.

I enjoyed the ports, usually with another solo traveler. Below are some of the photos I took on this 7-day cruise to the Caribbean:
