1jazzylady Posted October 15, 2015 #1376 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm booked on the Allure of the Seas, Nov. 6th-8th, Friday to Sunday. Mini cruise to Nassau and back. Nice weekend getaway. I live 2 1/2 hours from the port, so the short cruise is very affordable. Not planning on getting off of the ship. Have booked two shows (Mama Mia and Ocean Aria) and dining for both nights. Should be fun! Awesome!!! I wish i could just take a long weekend and cruise just about anytime. Resident special & easily getting to port. Have a great time.

Rick Rick , have you signed up for the NCL Star cruise roll call 11/29? They have a Meet and Mingle scheduled, mix of both families, couples and assorted others who seem to be friends traveling together. I am traveling solo myself.

gerrimom Posted October 18, 2015 #1379 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I am trying to ascertain if the Solo Lounge attached to the Studio NCL cabins is a comfy place to sit and read a book for 1-2 hours. Sounds like people only meet there 5-6 pm and use a message board. With a January sailing I expect indoor spaces to lounge to be at a premium. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No couches etc. it's good for sitting and having tea or coffee, but I wouldn't sit and read for hours there. Did that in bed, in the library, or out on the waterfront.

Karma1709 Posted October 21, 2015 #1383 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hoping to meet fun cruisers. Have never done a studio cabin or solo cruise before, though have done much solo travel. Looking forward to meeting some nice dining, drinking, beach, fun new friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink317 Posted October 21, 2015 #1384 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hi All, I'm a solo cruiser who found herself with THREE cruise mates this time round. We all have separate rooms so that helps! We're traveling NCL Epic W. Med, 11/15. This cruise overlaps with the 11/11 and 11/18 sailings. Anyhow, we have one spot left on a private tour via Joe Banana Tours (highly rated on tripadvisor) for Florence and Pisa (11/19). NCL is charging an arm and a leg and if we get one more - our cost is 80 euro + museum entrance fee... so just a $200 savings! I love would to have a solo join us! And I admit, I'm a little jealous (booking travel with a group is stressful!)

Looking forward to meeting some nice dining, drinking, beach, fun new friends. The Breakaway is a fantastic ship for solo cruisers. I was on the ship in a studio cabin last Dec. and I'm doing it again this December 13th. (I will be getting on the ship a couple of days after you are finished your cruise). I was told that on every cruise there is a core group of solo cruisers who show up every evening for the Solo Cruisers Get Together in the studio lounge and participate in the group dinners, theater outings and go to the beach together. Seems like you will be one of them. Bon voyage. Have a great cruise!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink317 Posted November 1, 2015 #1387 Share Posted November 1, 2015 No cruise critic solos on NCL Epic W. Med 11/15 sailing? Odd considering the cabin category is sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42CruiseCrazy Posted November 1, 2015 Author #1388 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) No cruise critic solos on NCL Epic W. Med 11/15 sailing? Odd considering the cabin category is sold out. Not to worry. The Epic has more solo cabins than any other ship. You will have lots of company. Cruise Critic is mostly Americans and Americans may be the minority on this sailing.

vms0711 Posted November 8, 2015 #1390 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Hello fellow solo cruisers. I'll be sailing on Celebrity Equinox on January 2, 2016. This will be my third cruise but first solo. Any other solos on this sailing? I look forward to reading through all the great tips everyone has kindly posted. Is there a SOLO roll call for this particular cruise?

perditax Posted November 8, 2015 #1391 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Not sure if I've popped in with the one, but I'll be doing my second solo, and my first cruise with Celebrity, on the Eclipse 12/13 sailing. Solo supplement is brutal on X and harder to book a guarantee with only 1 passenger, but I was wanting to try the line and NCL is changing their policies faster than I can keep track of.

vms0711 Posted November 8, 2015 #1393 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thanks GeeDunk. I'm subscribed to that one but so is my ex and his ex, who he's taking, along with the other ten people we originally booked with. Was looking for one specific to solo cruises for that particular cruise, within this forum. Do you know of one. Or how to start one (using the app)? I've been on Cruise Critic a while but haven't been very active. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on Cruise Critic a while but haven't been very active. Thanks again! There aren't enough solo cruisers who frequent this forum (or at least who post here) to make it likely that you would find others on your cruise by starting a roll call-like thread here. I think your best bet is to ask in the "main" roll call for the cruise if there are other solos, and if they announce themselves you could maybe start keeping a list of all the solos and possibly plan a solo meeting if you get enough interest. You can certainly try here but you are unlikely to get much, if any, response. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42CruiseCrazy Posted November 8, 2015 Author #1395 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The purpose of this roll call is to allow solo cruisers to announce what cruise they are going on in the future. If very lucky, there may be someone on this thread taking the same cruise or thinking about it. That hasn't happened much. Your best bet in finding out if there are other solo cruisers on your itinerary is to ask on the "main" roll call.

Sungold Posted November 8, 2015 #1396 Share Posted November 8, 2015 A few days ago I learned that Norwegian Spirit is offering some Caribbean cruises in April, and also January, with NO single supplement. She sails out of Port Canaveral (Cocoa Beach) at this time of year. On Friday, I booked a 7-nighter leaving April 9. Base price for an Ocean View was $799 solo. I upgraded a little and got a midship picture window for $849. This also includes your choice of one of several perks...I chose the Ultimate Beverage package. Any of you going on this sailing? And if you're looking for a cruise in January or April, do check this out. Pam Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
