surrocruiser Posted March 17, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I know we are not allowed to advertise, I really am not intending on doing so. My question is for the single parents out there. If you were to find a group cruise for single parents would this be something you were interested in? I know for myself as a single parent (before getting remarried) I would have loved something like this. But in the back ofmy mind would be a little nagging thought of it possibly attracting potential issues knowing there were going to be single women with children on a particular cruise. I would have still done it but I'm wondering how others feel about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does this mean? What "potential issues"? There are many single parents cruises now; they are easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surrocruiser Posted March 17, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm more referring to do you feel vulnerable by making it clear to everyone that you will be the only parent with litte ones. When I was a single parent, I always traveled with some other family members bc I felt safer knowing there was someone else nearby if there was an issue. It was just my personal choice.

Kerry's Girls Posted March 17, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm a single parent and cruises are my travel of choice, but socializing is so easy on a cruise anyway, I don't see any reason to specifically go with a group of single parents. I guess unless someone is looking for the matchmaking potential, which I wouldn't feel is appropriate while travelling with my children. So no - I would choose cruises based on itinerary/cost and not based on what group is or isn't also on board. Best, Mia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisou Posted March 22, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I agree with Mia! I am also a single mom who has chosen cruising as a great way to travel with my now 8 yo dd. We`ve been to Western Med, Eastern Med, Holy Land, West Carrib! I would not be particularly drawn to a cruise with lots of single parents with kids. We usually prefer travelling in down times because costs and crowds are lower:p and my daughter prefers when there are less kids in kids`clubs. Cruising as a single parent is paradise because we get together time and each gets alone time. As a single sole parent (I`m a widow so no weekends off and no co-parenting deal;)) while on a cruise is the only time that I get real chunks of time to myself when my daughter is off at kids` club.

Hear! Hear! My thoughts exactly! I'm an only parent as well and cruising is the ONLY time I get to relax and do things just for "me" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't really seen anything and I love cruising. It would also be nice to have a chance to talk with other single parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
