The 1A category you mention has two twin beds that cannot be converted to a queen and sometimes are bunk beds.

Frankly, to avoid Progesso after having been there, we just don't book cruises that go there. We enjoyed the beach and the market and the fish market. But not enough to bother going back.

Norwegian Getaway, to be homeported in Miami, will also have studio cabins like Breakaway.

And Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas will also have them. Those can be booked for 1 or 2 people. It will have a full size bed. The first person pays a 1st/2nd person rate, and the 2nd person, if there is one, pays the 3rd/4th person rate. Would be great for a single parent and child. Rooms will also have a live video window of what is going on outside.

Actually, the Coast Guard contacted the Sensation to ask them to be prepared to assist if an evacuation had become necessary, because they were the closest ship capable of assisting.

You didn't mention here, as you did in your book, why you were in Transylvania or who you went to see. :)
