KWBWDW Posted January 26, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I was all set to book a week to Mexico in May, but I hesitated when I saw that it was a singles cruise. How big of a group is it likely to be, and will they dominate portions of the ship with private parties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted January 26, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If you know what singles group, maybe you can visit their site and found out how big the group is? Since its not chartered, its unlikely to be thousands, maybe hundreds at most? I would find out which group and visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyR. Posted January 26, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I belong to Singles groups and it really doesn't matter how many are on the ship because they always eat late dinner together on the AFT of the dinning room. They arrange to have activities in areas that nobody is using. You will not even know who they are because they like to hang out together. It is usually 160 persons on up to 400 persons cruising on Holidays like Halloween. Believe me.... they will not get in your way at all. I say average is 200 persons. I have cruised 10 times with several singles groups. I have also cruised when there was a singles group on board and I hardly saw any of them around. Nothing to worry about.

maggieworkman Posted January 26, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I just read a review from a girl whose family was on a cruise that also happened to be a singles cruise. I wish I remembered which review it was. :( But check the recent reviews on this page. It didn't seem like the singles group took over the ship.

okgirl Posted January 26, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I cruise with a large group from here on CC a couple of times a year. We usually have a Meet and Mingle as well as a private cocktail party. I don't think we've ever taken over a space that would otherwise be open to the public. Sometimes there are around 100 of us and sometimes we've numbered over 300. I was on a cruise one time that had about 600 people from the same travel company on the ship. They did block access to many area's. Frequently they would have the whole lobby blocked off for their use (both day and night), the Wine bar was closed to their private functions on over half of the evenings.

A large group with a number of private functions would take portions of the ship away from other passengers. From other responses, it doesn't appear they usually have those kind of numbers, so I imagine it isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
