There is some amazing offers out there at the moment, but mostly for couples.

When is the cruise industry going to wake up to the solo cruiser. We have the money to spend on us.don't have to consult with a partner on what we're doing, we like to pamper ourselves. Can treat ourselves to the best without worrying about the cost of it being for 2.have known couples on board saying they have a limited budget, only came on the cruise because of the cheap prices,and then spend very little. And when the cruise industry do think of the solo at the last minute cos they need to fill cabins, we are usually made to feel like 2nd class citizens by being offered the cabins they can't sell to couples. I know some of the newer ships now have solo rooms, but reading some of the reviews, these are tiny cabins,some people are not stick insects, that can ajust to a small space. I for one need to be able to swing the proverbial cat. Fred Olsen seams to be waking up to the solo cruiser, let's hope more will follow their example. Rant over FOR NOW! :(:rolleyes::D

21 nighs on Costa, to me, sounds like a life sentence!

I know it's not everyone's cuppa tea, but I loved it. The only thing I wasn't keen on was the long haul flight to sau Paula. Havering said that, would go again at the drop ofa hat. :D

Hi bonnieboots

I'm signed up with several TAs.they email me any deals plus I,m on cruise lines websites, if I see any good offers, I ring a couple of the TAs to see what their offer is on cruise I am interested in, and what the solo price is. It works for me. March I had 21nts with transfers and flights from Heathrow to sao Paulo on the costa Favolosa, Brazil to savona. £1549, that was an outside cabin, solo.The cruises are out there, it helps if you can go at the last minute.

Booked a 13nt cruise on RCI Adventure of the seas. 31st May 2013. Sailing from southampton and back.

Iceland and Norway. £749. That's a solo, well pleased.

I always turn the air conditioning right down, the moment I step into my cabin as it is usually way to high for me. I find I don't suffer the dryness, so no cough.
