I booked an Epic Studio for January 15, 2011 for $412 + taxes/fees that weekend when they appeared to be testing their pricing and/or website. Glad I grabbed it when I did.

Thanks Coka. I think that's what I'll do. I'm intentionally trying to avoid the busier weeks, so I think I'll risk it. My friends are losers, so they probably won't go anyway. :-)

Ok, that's good info and a good idea on booking for two right now. So I'll reverse things and re-ask for verification. I guess I can put someone's name for passenger #2. And at a later date, simply call and remove them if they don't go. I don't have to enter specific passenger details like passport # until much closer to the sail date, right? All I need until a couple weeks out is a name and age, I think? right? But if I use one person's name now and someone else actually decides to go with me, can I swap out a name without penalty? I'm negotiating with a couple friends and not sure who will actually go if anyone.

I'm getting fidgety to cruise again and am eyeing a western Caribbean week on NCL in January. I'm perfectly fine with cruising solo and have already done it twice. I also have friends who MAY be able to join me, but won't know until later in December, probably. Can I book the room as a single traveler, recognizing I would pay the price of two. And then POSSIBLY add a second person to the room later on? If my friends can't go, I'll go solo. If they can go, they can pay me for their share (no need to force them to pay NCL or anything like that). Anyone with experience doing this on NCL?
