I am retired and planning a cruise, probably to Alaska. I'm just beginning to think about the whole process. I have been on 2 cruises before but both were about 20+ years ago so I know things have changed since that time. I really don't know where to begin to get information. The first question that comes to mind is that I am single and really love traveling by myself. When I look at prices they always state prices per person but I know that's not what I would have to pay if I was the only one in the cabin. I have no desire to share a cabin with a total stranger. My question is do any of the cruise lines make accommodations for solo cruisers without having to pay double the rate? I don't mind a smaller cabin as I'm not there to stay in my cabin, just sleep. I'd appreciate any information someone can provide about someone who wants to cruise solo and how cabins are priced in this situation.
