I am a solo cruiser and live in NYC. I love sailing from NYC but now there are no good deals. I actually booked a cruise for September going MSC Divina solo from Port Canaveral.

Last year I did a solo cruise on MSC Meriviglia. It was my first first MSC cruise. I went in September they had about 35% capacity. The ship its self was huge and honestly the most beautiful ship I had ever seen. The shows were great, although a bit too loud for my comfort. The food was ok, some things were better then others. I only at at the buffet. I wanted to to try sushi, and paid for that. It was ok. They also offered crepes for a fee. It was about 9 bucks, that tasted bad. I actually threw more then half in the trash and I am not even fussy about food. The ice cream and gelatos were also for a fee, I tried it once and it was nice just not cheap. I kind of stayed to myself and didn't really hang out with anyone. Just a short chat here and there. It was relaxing and nice.

Hi Graig. SO there are a few things you can do. You can join roll call and show up to meet and greet. Maybe there are others who are solo as well. You can ask to share a table and hopefully you will find other solos that way. But honestly if you want to meet other solo easily then go with NCL. They are the only cruise line that actually caters to solos. They have hosted meet up for solos. People always show up to those. They set up a table for solos in the main dining room. Whoever wants to can join.

Hi everyone. I have been looking for a cruise for the past two months for fall. Finally found one today for an amazing price. Booked MSC Divina today, guaranteed balcony for $640 which includes taxes and fees. Plus right now they are giving you a large amount of OBS. I got 200 bucks OBC. Insides and ocean views are getting $100. Going September 4th out of Port Canaveral. I prefer going from NY , my home port but I could not find anything well priced. I only once traveled with MSC but fell in love with their private island. The best private island I have been to. This particular cruise is staying there for two days plus of course other ports.
