Once, on the Epic, I saw a hosted singles group. You wore beads around your neck with your name![emoji16]everyone was trying so hard. I was glad I didn't join up beforehand. I guess it works for some, but I understand what you are saying. By the way, on the Getaway, I went to guest services, told them I was upgraded from a studio, asked if my card could be coded for entrance to the lounge, and it was no problem! The solo gathering was held in the sunset bar mostly, so I went only once to the lounge. After all of that, I never joined the group cuz I had purchased UDP and they always wanted MDR.

Hi, I booked my cruise through AMEX and I asked the agent could i have access to the SL he called Norwegian and told me the key cards are coded for studios only.I will take your suggestion and go to guest service. I remembered reading the freestyle daily and on a couple of days the solo gatherings were held in the Sunset bar,strangely I didn't see anyone nor did I see the coordinator.

I just came back from one of those "Hosted "Single Cruises on the Getaway.This was my first and last time on a "hosted"single cruise. I don't know but it may be just me. All I got out of this is cheesy afternoon games. For instance,battle of the sexes,stupid trivia questions and LOTS of bar hopping. In my experience, I found some folks to be superficial,phony and not friendly. After the third day out of 7 days I ditched the group and did my own thing. I didn't think I could do it because I'm so introverted that's why booked a singles cruise.I proved otherwise.

I liked the Getaway so much I booked a balcony cabin for March 5,2016 on the Escape.Even though I don't have access to the studio lounge, I plan on stopping by at 5 or 6pm. Please note...this my opinion and some people who may have taken a "Hosted" Single Cruise may have had a wonderful experience.

Thank you.. Excited and Nervous at the same time. Imagine next Sunday, if I feel like this now!

Thanks Howard for the info. Just booked this cruise last wk and I'm reading the Norwegian and the solo boards as much as possible

My first time traveling solo (booked a spa cabin) and interested in going to the lounge every evening to meet other solo and singles at the gathering. Not sure how signing up for specialty restaurant and booking shows with other solo/singles work..Do you have to book well in advance? Please could someone explain to me how this work.

Thank in advance

Leaving for Bermuda on the Breakaway (solo) 1wk from today.. First time on a Norwegian cruise line..Anybody else going? Booked a spa cabin and will be at the solo gathering daily..

Going to Vancouver CA, customs questioned me to no end it seems. The agent asked me a bunch of questions....Why are you here? How long are you going to be here? (typical questions) but then he asked me where do I work and do you have your work ID with you? I said no and he asked why? and I said, because I'm on vacation why bring it with me... he then summoned another agent over and he looked over my custom forms. I noticed the lines were thinning out and I was getting annoyed and nervous at the same time. He finally let me go. Young and solo perhaps, I don't know.

With the latest bombing in Boston, going through customs is going to be a real pain...
