That should be a great trip and some beautiful scenery for you. Hope you are staying safe down there in Jacksonville with Dorian. It has certainly been a strange hurricane the way it just parked over the Bahamas. Hopefully it will stay far enough off shore that you won't get any major damage down there. Good Luck and enjoy your river cruise. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted September 4, 2019 #3154 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Hey Neil😁yes, sailing on The Po. We are doing ok here actually, thanks for thinking of us. Looks like it is just some wind and not much rain here either. My heart goes out to the people of The Bahamas for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep track of specials that have limited or no solo travel supplements and will keep your informed of solo opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebrownbook Posted September 9, 2019 #3160 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Also, for those of you over 50, don't forget Road Scholar will find a room mate for you. These are not your typical cruises, they are more culturally and historically informative , for inquiring minds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebrownbook Posted September 9, 2019 #3161 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I will be travelling on Azamara Pursuit , Jan 5, 2000 from Buenos Aires. Although I will be rooming with friends, they are a couple and I don't always want to be the 3rd wheel. There are a lot of sea days on this cruise. I'm looking for others to hang out with some days or to join up with us for outings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amafirster Posted September 9, 2019 #3164 Share Posted September 9, 2019 To those who travel solo: I too travel solo and am tired of paying double. Cruises N Maritime, and Fred Olsen have some cruises withOUT single supplement. Cunard only surcharges 150%!! You might want to look into their pricing. Just a heads up.

14580 Posted September 9, 2019 #3165 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I've been on several cruises - Silversea. Regent Seven Seas, Crystal - and I have never paid double. Sure, there are some destinations that hardly ever have lower single supplements but I've gotten as low as 10% on Silversea. Do your homework!

JoseyP Posted September 9, 2019 #3166 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Sure, you have never paid "double". That is because you are traveling on luxury lines. They already charge double or triple a fare of a "regular" cruise line. I am sure Mr GTV cruiser, who has basically started this thread and been on zillions of cruises, has done his homework.

squick64 Posted September 9, 2019 #3167 Share Posted September 9, 2019 As much as I like to not pay a lot of extra money for a solo, in the end of the day, I'll pay what I need to to get the trip I want (or I guess I won't do it at all, if it comes to it). I'm definitely paying double on my Panama Canal cruise, but it's 16 days (my longest yet), and it's a spa balcony in a prime location--I decided to live a little. 🙂 But then on my next cruise after that, I'm in an awful little solo cabin down in steerage, but I don't really care and the cruise is already costly, as it's a holiday. Bless Royal Caribbean for giving double points for double rooms booked as solos, though. Roll call wise, my next solos are as follows (and are in my signature): Star Trek: the Cruise IV (March 2020) NCL Bliss - Panama Canal (November 2020) RCL Adventure of the Seas - Western Caribbean (December 2020) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14580 Posted September 9, 2019 #3168 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Actually, Josey, I have found that when all is said and done - after paying gratuities, excursions, drinks, specialty restaurants, etc., that it works out to be about the same amount.

Mike_DeA Posted September 9, 2019 #3169 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Norwegian has many last minute deals on September 4 and 5 night cruises out of Miami and Port Canaveral FL to Bahamas along with Key West (on some sailings). Solo rates start at $129 + taxes/fees of $125-175. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS43 Posted September 14, 2019 #3173 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I did the Panama Canal cruise solo on Princess a couple of years ago over Christmas and New Year's. We spent Christmas Day going through the canal. For me, it was fine, but then I don't mind doing things by myself. There really weren't that many families (at least not with small children), but it was also a 15-day cruise. I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding dining companions, or meeting people with whom to do things. And there may be other solos on your trip as well. Bon voyage! (Note: I'm doing another 15-day solo this holiday season - Buenos Aires to Santiago on Celebrity.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
