OMG! I Booked A Cruise Solo

Yesterday I received an email offer that was too good to be true. I just got off the phone with HAL and it is true. :D

I just booked the 47 day Tales of The South Pacific and all I have to pay is taxes, port fees and HSC. The cabin is free. Yeah, really gratis. It's a casino offer. I couldn't pass this up. Seriously, a 47 day cruise for a total of $757.51!!! I can even take a guest if I choose. And that price includes insurance. I know it is gauche to speak about pricing but hey, this is amazing.

It is like a small miracle for me as I never thought I would get the opportunity to take Virgil's ashes to Bora Bora as he wanted but saved some in case. Now I can. :)

I am so excited and somewhat intimidated as I've never cruised alone - but hey world here I come!

I am so happy for you. I hope you enjoy your cruise and you also get to fulfill Virgil's wish.

All the best.

What a great surprise! How wonderful for you on so many levels. Enjoy!

to visit the casino. I wouldn't call that free.:rolleyes:

Hello kakalina !

You're gonna love it ! For sure ! I made half of my cruises by myself and I enjoyed every minutes of it !

P.S. : do not hesitate to speak to all the people onboard you want...

That really is an amazing offer especially for a solo!

I have cruised over 150 days as a solo and love it. I've found meeting people in advance on the roll call has been a fantastic help in not feeling alone. I still meet many non-Cruise Critic people onboard so I know lots of people by the end.

Hope you have a wonderful time!

I am so happy for you! All I can think of is that God works in mysterious ways ... you'll be able to do what Virgil asked of you. How wonderful is that??

When are you sailing?

Good for you. I know from experience what a huge step it is to take that first cruise alone.

I'm just finished my 4th and each has been better than the last.

My words to live by are:

"You need to be willing to let go of the life you planned in order to make the life you are meant to live."

When are you sailing?

9-27 thru 11-16. Not much time to worry :eek:

Wow, this is just great and obviously meant to be! I am really, really happy for you.:)

I'm happy for you. You've been through a lot. It was meant to be. Enjoy!

Wow! Fantastic deal.

I'm so happy for you, Trisha. This is a great gift---as if the universe has reached out to give you a hug.

I'm sure Virgil is smiling down on you, pleased as can be.

I am thrilled for you!

What an offer and just what you needed! And this is one of your favorite cruises!!!

Have a good time and enjoy!

Oh Trisha, how wonderful :)

I am so happy for you.

And your ability to fulfill Virgil's wishes has no words to express.

I hope you enjoy every moment and am so glad that this has happened for you :)

YEAH!! Trish, that is fantastic and others have said just meant to be.

I am so glad that this has happened to you, Trisha! You deserve only the best, and I know it will be a time for peace and reflection.

Wow that is just perfect. Congratulations and enjoy, although I am sure it will be bitter sweet.

Congratulations! On our last HAL cruise, there was a solo traveller at our table in the MDR. She was really enjoying her cruise. Saw her at the Mariner's luncheon and had a great time. It's all about attitude!

I am happy to hear you will be cruising, and to your favorite places. You will do great, but I can imagine it is intimidating to try it for the first time. Fear not, you make friends easily. Carol:)

Wow-sounds fantastic! I'm so glad you booked it and are going-great deal and sounds like it was meant to be. Some times things just happen for a reason and it's nice you can do this.

I am so happy for you!

Brava. See you soon on board.

Trisha,

I am so happy for you.

Wonderful news. Good for You !!! It isn't easy but it's such a big step.

Outstanding! The Bluebird of Cruising has smiled on you...
