Looking at EPIC's deck plans, these studios are located on a private, center-line corridor, with seemingly very few access points in or out. I just would not want to be "buried" within so many layers of cabins, if possible.

You can access EPIC's deck plans on their website now, without registering. See here:

EPIC Deck Plans

(Note the window to the corridor)

The Studio cabins are designed for the younger generation (incl the Living Room design). It is an effort by NCL to get young cruisers to go on the Epic as most do not care where and how they sleep or how tight the quarters are.

I do know of a bunch of college students who think these cabins are 'kewl'.

Olaf,
then you are NCL's target for the Studios.

I would say that the target market for Studios are partly college students. I see it as they are going after the young, chic, trendy, vacationer that would go to Cancun or South Beach, Miami. They are the kind that would not be interested in an affordable Carnival cruise and want an alternative to that kind of cruising.

Since Olaf is a college student he is probably part of the younger generation thus a target for NCL and the studios. I never implied that NCL is solely targeting college students.

On a side note, I don't know if this exists or not but cruise lines who do world voyages (Cunard, etc.) should set up a program that would works with colleges for study abroad programs, not like that Celebrity program of the scholar ship. This semester we are having a study abroad program in the school of architecture at Genoa (I didn't go) which costs a bit over $15,000 for about three months where a 103 night voyage on QM2 is around $20,000 and we go around the world not just Genoa or Florence.
