I am sorry for your predicament but I think you are confusing 'singles' cruising with 'solo' cruising. There are many cruisers who cruise solo not because we do not have 'a partner' or are lonely; very often they are married and their spouse could not cruise or doesn't like to cruise. Just like I would not like to go on a hunting vacation. We cruise solo for many reasons; usually not wanting to make a 'connection'.

Well said. I get quite a bit more paid-time off than my partner which is why I go on 1 or 2 solo cruises a year.

But I didn't ask any questions. ;)

Thanks for the review! Sailing with a group next year! :D

Yes. Yes you are. So update your signature! :D

The list of no solo supplement cruises was updated yesterday, including cruises into September.

Rebook her flight. Luckily, Southwest is one of the easiest airlines to change flights with.

The no solo supplement list for Carnival was updated today and includes some sailings into September.

I am eyeing the 11/15 cruise on Fantasy out of Charleston.

Adri and Daniel are by far the best duo in Alchemy. Glad to hear they are back on the same ship!

We have a group going on her out of Galveston next year. Thanks for the great pictures!

It came to about $950 for both of us, but we felt like we were drinking all day to get our money's worth. We definitely would not have had as much had we not used Cheers, and probably would have come in under $950.

That has been my experience using Cheers in the past. I tend to only get it on 5-day cruises instead of the longer ones now.

I sure drank my fill of it on the Triumph. :o

They do have rules and sometimes they follow them and sometimes they will not.

Well said, which is why it is hard to give consistent answers on here.

I stayed in this cabin a couple of months ago. Loved it, though the loveseat needs to be replaced.

It is technically not allowed but I have taken one on my last several cruises. I take the small travel one by Joy Mangano available on HSN and it works very well.

They are attached to the bathroom wall as indicated in the picture above, and really are quite weak.

The cheap massages on the beach are worth the shuttle ride down the pier.

1. Staying near the airport will save us a lot of money.....but, how convenient is it to the French Quarters?

As the above poster said, not at all. I stayed near the airport once due to a great deal but if you are wanting to go into the city that is offset by taxi costs. Definitely stay in the Quarter or CBD.

It is most assuredly accepted in the MDR.

It sounds like the catamaran would be best suited for your situation.

A cruise transfer to IAH sounds like your best bet. Mid-afternoon or so.

This is another resource. Updated bimonthly usually.

Locate your roll call on these boards and on various other platforms. If there is no solo supplement on that cruise there will likely be other solos going as well.

Many of the roll calls these days are on other social media websites that cannot be discussed on these boards.

The ones on the Triumph last year were the rudest most unfriendly bartenders I have ever encountered on Carnival:mad:

I wouldn't call them rude but they definitely paled in comparison to the ones on Conquest, though I understand Adri is now on the Freedom.
