Loved this review and it made me book the Oasis! Of course not until Feb 2026 (my vacation time is quite minimal at the moment) but I’m excited none the less! Wishing you a good night and easy drive out of Miami in the am!

I had that issue back in 2014! There was a cruise on MSC I really wanted to take but ai couldn’t book it and I reached out to a TA I used at the time and she could not either. A few years later I had no problem booking a solo cabin and even got upgraded to a balcony (I booked and inside)! It might be some specific sailings, but I will definitely try a ghost second pax if I encounter this again!

Good day everyone! I just booked my second upcoming Solo cruise- and frankly I just needed a place to talk about my cruises and my thoughts, plans and what not. No one else in my life knows yet except my mum (and I think she’s getting sick of me talking about it). it’s also Waaaaay to early to start and thread review as I am over 1 year away from 1 cruise and almost 2 from the other! so I figured I’d make a thread topic here to talk about history, planning and documenting my excitement! Of course anyone else is welcome to use this space for the same reason! I will be just as excited for all of you. So what do I have booked? May 27 2025 to Alaska on the Grand Princess and as of 5 minutes ago February 1 2026 Oasis of the Seas Western Caribbean (but I’m really just here for the ship) bit of history: These will not be my first solo cruise- way back in 2011 (Jan 23) I did a solo 17 day cruise around the South China Sea Shanghai to Singapore on the Ocean Princess. I have cruised on several lines Carnival, RCL, Princess, MSC, Celebrity and Pulmantur- 17 cruises all together, and so far Princess has come out as my favourite. I have not been on a cruise since summer 2019- I am in serious withdrawal! Why these cruises? Alaska is my favourite destination, this will be my third time there, second with Princess but first on the Grand! I am coming back to cruising with a solo bang and have a balcony and the plus package ( mostly for fun and I do need internet as I’m back in University part time working to switch careers and will have coursework to do). It is hard for me to imagine Alaska without a balcony, but it might happen in the future! Oasis of the Seas has been on my to cruise list since it first came out. I booked my desired cabin, interior with Central Park view. I have a lot to catch up on with RCL but I love cruise researching, reading reviews and so far the RCL app! I look forward to sharing more as I make some plans and do some more research and hope to hear from some of you! Favourite solo trips, tips, any experiences with these ships or lines or anything you want to share!

well I actually found you from your Carnival Cunard review as I booked my mum on the QE to Alaska this August, I loved sharing your review with her! And I get a little obsessive with cruise reviews when I finally have something in my own calendar lined up, and the amount of menu and food pics you post are better than many shows! Plus my fav channel to watch is the food network lol

So excited to catch you live! I have been binging your past reviews the past few weeks! Love your pics and commentary! It’s helping me cope with my super long wait until my cruise! Plus the Oasis is on my bucket list for cruise ships!

Excited to follow along with you! Loving the review already!

Thank you all! Even more excited now!

Good day! I am finally booked for my next Princess cruise in May 2025 to Alaska. I am booked in C242 a forward balcony and just wondered anyone’s experience with forward balconies in Alaska. I usually book more midship, but this one fit into my requirements mor for this trip. thank you and I cannot wait until next year and sharing my experiences!

All caught up! Absolutely loving your pictures! This is one of my bucket list cruises! Thank you for sharing 🙂

All updated! Not sure how I missed that section!

Thank you kindly for your help!

Hello everyone. I booked a Cunard cruise for my mum last night, and today she informed me that I forgot to put one number in our address (street is fine it’s the suite number in our condo). I could not see anything on Cunard’s website or manage my booking to correct this, do I need to call them or is there a way I just could not find? it is my first time booking a Cunard cruise (and will be her first time sailing with Cunard though we are both experienced cruisers) thank you in advance.
