  1. Hi nice to be back! Unfortunately had a huge data breach and, a new email, so shoot me an email and we can reconnect. This applies also to any guy that wants to say hello. cruisemsclfurdad@proton.me
  2. I am super excited to go to the Oceana Vista, I have heard awesome things about this cruise line! Any information on the Vista?
  3. In my experience for the most part, I have always seen more men in COED wet areas than women, but it could have been the time of day or night that I went.
  4. Awesome Pics! I was curiouse about this ship, seeing how it departs from NYC! Thanks! Mitch
  5. My son and I have always wanted to do a Northern cruise, he is a Viking history nut (in a good way)
  6. Agree with you completely never had a problem, when I was younger on solo cruises, I was not great with dealing with aggressively pushy men/woman, but usually there was an alcohol element to their behavior and that can be on any cruise. Where the ship leaves from, the length of cruise, definitely impacts behavior.
  7. Hey guys! So I just snagged a Suite Guarantee, I am assuming its a Junior Suite, and today I can see the following categories that I can bid on: Grand Suite $0 - $700 Grand Suite - 2 Bedroom $0 - $910 Owner’s Suite $0 - $980 Royal Suite $0 - $700 I have never done a Royal Up before, what bids would you suggest and how has your experiences been? Thanks Mitch !
  8. Hi! Very late flight out of Orlando on return to port , I booked the Kennedy Space Center tour, it says it is 6 hours long. Has anyone taken this excursion? Any other suggestions for things to do in Orlando? Thanks Mitch!
  9. I was 18, very very trusting back then and totally clueless, email me me if you want to hear more about my first solo cruises without my family. Mitch cruisemscldad@proton.me
  10. Your post brings back some memories of my first solo cruises years ago, finding a group of men at a bar and kind of lingering like you said, but there was always someone who was kind enough to welcome me in, I was a horrible conversationalist back then but these guys were for the most part very good at filling in awkward silences. Very kind of you to be so welcoming. Your other point is equally valid some guys can misunderstand friendliness for something more, and they should be respectful, in the beginning of my solo cruises I ended up in a lot of cabins because I figured well this guy or these guys were so nice to me at the bar or at dinner or during an excursion, I probably should go back with them. (not usually a good time). Everyone should respect other people’s boundaries, and not assume anything. On recent cruises OMG the over sharing is rampant, I want to get to know you but I am not your therapist or life coach. I get the trying to read in peace. I can sneak off to a corner of the ship and just want to be in my own world for a bit. Spa stuff well, that is a whole other issue. Being a bodybuilder, I know when put a towel on some guys are going to notice and that can be cool until it’s not. If I am in the sauna reading my kindle and a guy or a couple walks in I will say hi comment on something about the day or the cruise and go back to my reading, the hint is if I am reading then I am just zoning out relaxing. Most guys get that, but man oh man there are some that cannot take a hint. Now on the other hand maybe I will put the book down, and say Hi. Spa stuff is Spa stuff it is its own world. So much too depends on the ship, the cruise line, the itinerary and the length of the cruise. Shorter cruises, the vibe is more active, more party like, but for a lot of people this is like a special vacation, I don’t want ruin their time and I do not want my cruise time ruined either. Mitch
  11. My favorite cruises have always been on Seabourn, only lucky to have been on 2 so far, and yes both times if I asked I was able to book a male.
  12. Years and years ago I was told to always ask for one, I prefer men, and it has been hit or miss, but good to always ask. Mitch
  13. I just remember it being a smattering of all ages definitely more in their 30's 40's at least on my cruises
  14. It has been a while since I cruised with HAL, I dont remember it being skewed that much older, maybe it depends on the itinerary ? Beautiful ships and service, though. :)
