texascat Posted September 28, 2018 #2801 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Good for you! Never let what others don't do stop you from doing what you want to do. I saw my first Opera by myself when no one wanted to go with me. I went and had a blast. The person on my right, a woman, only spoke French, the person on my left, also a women, only spoke Italian and I struggle with English. The Opera, The Marriage of Figaro, we had a blast. It was so much fun with my new neighbors. We couldn't communicate verbally, but we communicated with gestures and laughter. Ramona Sounds like you had a blast! I know that I will enjoy my cruise, probably 60% of my day on a ship is spent alone anyway, so it will be a good time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcwalker Posted October 1, 2018 #2802 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I went on a cruise. I got addicted to cruising. Not that I cruise that often, but when not cruising, scheming how to schedule one or fantasizing about the one I did manage to book. Got back from my first solo cruise two weeks ago. New addiction. Will go on my next solo cruise in less than 6 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand! you are certainly not alone....(even tho you are alone) .but not everyone understands....especially people who don't cruise. My second cruise was 6 weeks after the first. Enjoy your next solo cruise---i am sure you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4121deere Posted October 6, 2018 #2805 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Hey y'all. Not a new cruiser but this will only be my 3rd cruise. Single and going solo this time. Sailing on the MSC Divina out of Miami Nov. 29th and I cannot wait. Post divorce reward to myself. Is anyone out there going on this cruise as well? Although I am going by myself for a reason I sure would like to be able to meet new people and make new friends. Any suggestions/recommendations/ideas for a first time single solo cruiser? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmike911 Posted October 6, 2018 #2806 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Hi I am Mike from Texas. Not new to cruising, but first time alone. I am sailing on 22nd September 2019 On QUEEN MARY 2 From Southampton to Hamburg, back to Southampton, then Le Harve France and NYC. 12 days. Traveling in QG. A chunk of cash, but my Daughter pointed out to me that shrouds don't have pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike From Syd Posted October 8, 2018 #2807 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Hi, Sydney guy here (not single just solo) going on Ovation of the Seas cruise to New Zealand on 4th December 2019 and already super excited about it! Will be my second time on Ovation, but first time cruising solo and first time in a (studio) balcony cabin. Looking forward to the indulgence. Not expecting to make friends but hopefully won't feel left out. Happy cruising. Mike :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelnap Posted October 27, 2018 #2809 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Just booked the Norwegian Jade for the partial Panama Canal transit cruise leaving on November 26th. I did the full transit a few years back and wanted to try the partial transit. I got a great deal on the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaFairy707 Posted October 27, 2018 #2810 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Have fun. I want to do a Panama Canal cruise too but those port fees are a killer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saatuk Posted October 27, 2018 #2812 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Well, I've got 3 cruises from Southampton coming up fast. First is a Mystery cruise on Fred. Olsen's Balmoral Nov 12, followed by back-to-back cruises on P & O's Aurora - Nov 28 Northern Lights and Dec 10 Baltic. I'm very interested in seeing what British market cruises are like. I suspect being above the Arctic Circle in December is going to be kinda different. Bryan Edited October 27, 2018 by saatuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct on the port fees. This is just a partial transit and some other ports and the taxes and port fees were just under $400. Much more than a regular Mexican or Carib. cruise.

I was just looking at one a couple days ago and the final price didn’t add up to the starting price...that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
