There may well have been solo get-togethers in other venues that I didn't see, but I met plenty of solos individually around the ship. In general, it's a very sociable ship, especially if you like a pre-dinner cocktail or two. The Chart Room, in particular, was always hopping in the early evening. I think you'll enjoy the ship.

jimdee3636 Posted January 9 #4179 Share Posted January 9 I just booked a short (4-night) Pacific Coastal (Vancouver to San Diego) cruise, Oct. 22-26, 2024, on the HAL Koningsdam in one of their single-occupancy ocean view cabins in the very front of Deck 1. (HAL has two ships with such cabins; the other one is the Nieuw Statendam. there are twelve single occupancy cabins on each of the ships, ranging from 137 to 172 square feet). The price was $394.00, plus $136.00 in taxes and port charges---about $100.00 less than a solo occupant in an inside cabin would pay. As both an AARP member and a Carnival Corp. shareholder, I'll get a total of $100.00 in OBC. This is one of those times when the airfare will cost more than the cruise, but I don't care. I want to do it! My last solo cruise was five years ago. Jim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvcruising25 Posted January 28 #4187 Share Posted January 28 My name is Mary and I will be cruising solo on the Norwegian Jade leaving from Tampa on Feb 18, 2024. Any other solos on that cruise? I have cruised several times with my husband and kids (grown), but my husband has to work that week so I am going alone. Not sure what to expect, but I hope I can meet some people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LewiLewi Posted January 30 #4195 Share Posted January 30 I’m sailing on Azamara Journey end of Oct. from Montreal to Miami. 15 days at a great price; the fare is actually half of a regular doubles fare. Good for Azamara! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonstopcruz1 Posted January 30 #4196 Share Posted January 30 I will be sailing on the Azamara Journey in November out of Ft. Lauderdale for 12 nights Eastern Caribbean. I booked it last week with a nice amount of onboard credit included. I was on the Onward in December and loved it. This will be my 5th. time sailing solo on Azamara, the price was great. I am thinking of adding on the 13night after mine and doing a b2b because the solo price is really good as well. Azamara is really great with solo's and traveling on the small ships is just wonderful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novablue Posted March 3 #4200 Share Posted March 3 Good Evening! Just booked my first solo cruise! I'll be on the Norwegian Bliss Transatlantic from Southampton, England to Miami in February 2025. I am beyond excited! I'll be celebrating my 65th birthday in the middle of the ocean. 😉 My husband goes on hunting and fishing trips, so I decided to start going and doing too. I've traveled alone before, but never a cruise alone. I'm so happy to find out that Norwegian is offering more solo cruiser options. I booked a solo balcony for just a little bit more than the interior solo studio cabins. As I understand it, I will also have access to the studio lounge that is for solo guests. I've cruised quite a bit, but our last one was 2018, so I'm beyond ready. I'm actually leaving in 3 weeks for a week long cruise with my sister and now I have the 13 day one to look forward to next February! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
