Hey there and sorry in advance if this is a silly question. I'm new to solo cruising...

Is there a way to get search results on cruise line websites to show the price based on single occupancy? I know that on NCL's site I can choose the number of passengers and so I can see the price that I would pay as a solo. The other cruise lines don't seem to have a similar option and so it's hard to tell without going partway through a fake booking what my price would be. I typically just double whatever the price they show is, but that means if they happen to be doing a special where the single supplement is waived or reduced I don't know about it.

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

I would try it but I'm afraid that there would be a problem last minute. I'll let you know. I'm still hoping that the cabins will be reduced further on the Apr 27 TA. This is a really crazy trip I'm thinking of doing myself. I'm very comfortable by myself and love to meet new people, but I'm thinking of spending 2 weeks after the cruise in Spain, Venice and France and I don't speak a word of anything but English. I've found some nice studios on Airbnb for my destinations. Anyone have any advise on this?:rolleyes:

I think if you'll be in touristy areas you'll probably be fine. I've been to Italy and France and was able to survive with English and hand gestures. I do speak Spanish though so I can't give any info about Spain...though I will be staying in Barcelona after the April 27th TA as well...probably for a few months.

I've always had good luck with Airbnb, though I've only used it in Latin America, not Europe, and will be using it again for Barcelona. Just read the reviews so you know exactly what you'll get and you should be fine. Most of the time the Airbnb hosts are very helpful and will give you tips for getting around and finding what you need, even if you don't speak the language.

Good luck! And if you want to chat more about it when we're on the Epic let me know!

Hi, does anyone know if you can book NCL Epic through the EU site if you're a US citizen? They are showing fares w/o single supplement and USA site isn't. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure if you can or not but if you manage to do it successfully would you please let me know? I'm booked on the Transatlantic April 27th out of Miami on Epic but I did pay the supplement for my room (still cheaper than the studio cabins). If you can get it without I will call them up and see what I can do for myself. Thanks!
