JosieCat-MN Posted August 19, 2013 #551 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi. I will be taking my first solo cruise in October. I went on my first cruise in July which was supposed to be solo until my sister invited herself along :) I am 50. My BF has no interest in cruising. I do go to Vegas a few times a year, and about half of those trips for me are solo, as he doesn't like to go as much. I love solo traveling. I'm perfectly happy with my own company. But the nice thing about a cruise is everyone is SO friendly that it's easy to have a nice conversation with someone. I just splurged and upgrade to a Junior Suite. I had been on the waiting list for a balcony but the final payment date came and went, and nothing opened up. So for a few $100's more than that would have been, I just did it. I'm very excited and looking forward to my October cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserami Posted October 18, 2013 #554 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'm 48, cruising for the first time in a cabin by myself and divorce. I've been on 16 or 17 cruises while married and can't wait to do my own thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunterke Posted October 24, 2013 #558 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) I'm Kefren from Belgium, in my young 20's and have taken 2 cruises so far. I'm kind of an semi-solo traveller, as I like travelling with friends as well. I've cruised with colleagues and did the last cruise on my own. When I am in desperate need of some rest (I always work in the crowds at the airport, so rest is welcome after a busy summer), I like to travel alone. Not alone alone, because I love meeting new people, which is harder when you've got company you know travelling along. I love Holland America for its chill atmosphere and no rush whatsoever. Smaller ships then some of those cities at sea, although I'd love to try them out as well, at some point.

We've learned that we are not dependent on a BFF, SO, or spouse to enjoy a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoth Posted December 10, 2013 #564 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thanks , I am addicted to cruising :) Do you feel that one line is better than the others are all basically the same ? For you is a ship basically a ship ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTVCRUISER Posted December 14, 2013 #565 Share Posted December 14, 2013 All the cruiselines are a little different from each other , it is hard to pick a favorite , but I will have to say RCCL and Celebrity have the best programs for returning passengers.
