I was just on the Carnival website, booking a cruise for May 4th. One of the parties does not have anyone to share a cabin with. I already told him he would have to pay double occupancy and he was fine with it.

 

WELL....lo and behold. I booked his. SINGLE charge. :eek: I called the 800 number to confirm before finishing the booking process. YUP...single fare.

 

He is now doing the HAPPY DANCE.:):):)

Congrats to him on the savings! Carnival has been removing the solo supplement on certain sailings they are having trouble filling up. They started that late last year. In fact they have a list of available sailings on their website. My cousin and I both booked separate cabins on the Legend in May.

 

Enjoy your cruise!

I used to sail with my DD and then she grew up.

 

Of course, just after I started sailing solo, Carnival went from 150% to 200% single supplements. :mad:

 

I had booked a May cruise on Fantasy with 2 friends. Then I saw the Pride had no single supplement so I switched to that (yes, I'm anti-social and I'd rather sail alone :p ). No, really, I'd been wanting to sail Pride but it was expensive and the itineraries were dull, but since this was one that stopped at HMC, I couldn't resist and they wanted to sail out of Charleston, so I switched and they didn't.

 

I also had a casino offer (no, not free, just a discount plus $50 casino cash), so I got a pretty good price. I even upgraded myself to a French Door cabin, which I normally would not do.

 

My problem is I can't really book last minute. My work schedule just doesn't lend itself to spontaneity or I'd be jumping on as many of these as I could. Gotta get to Milestone!

Where can you find the list of no solo supplement cruises?

Here is a link to the page on the Carnival site. They have been updating it every few weeks so far this year. If the link does not work go to the Carnival website. On top of the home page is a link to Cruise Deals. Then select Exclusive Savings and there is a selection for Solo Cruises.

 

From what I have read from other posters there are a set amount of cabins they will waive the solo supplement so some sailings listed might not still be available.

We actually just took advantage of this promotion and booked a last minute get out of the snow getaway for 10 days from now.

 

Dad had been trying to find some little getaway for months during this specific time frame and on a whim, he looked into going solo on a cruise out of here (Baltimore). When he saw that there was no single supplement, we both decided to book our own neighboring cabins for the first time since we started cruising together. This will be my 3rd time on the Pride with the same exact itinerary so I'm really looking forward to a cruise of pure relaxation.

That is correct. Once the quota is filled the sailing will return to charging the supplement. I booked the Triumph next month with no supplement but it changed back to 200% about 2 weeks after booking.

 

This list is updated twice a month:

OMG!!! It pays to goof off at work reading Cruise Critic!! LOL! I booked a 7-day cruise on Carnival Pride for March 30-April 6, 2014. When we booked the cruise, I was told that as a single passenger, I would have to pay double. Thus, I paid over $1800 to have a balcony room on the same hallway as my family members. Well after reading your posts, I went on the Carnival website and saw that my sailing had a single supplement sale! I then called Carnival, and they were so great and returned almost $900 of it to me. You all saved me much money and I can't thank you enough! I told the Carnival Operator that probably this money will go back to Carnival anyway... we are going to David's steakhouse, and now I can spend time in the spa!! LOL!

 

Thanks, again, everyone!!

We are not going on this particular cruise.

It is my son/spouse and a couple of friends.....none of which belong to Cruise Critic. I always do all of the leg work for them...lol

I will however ask them if they want to sign up for the roll call via me.

:)

 

By the way everyone....they have extended the single supplement until March 31st in case anyone is interested. ;)

Did you get to keep your balcony cabin, or did they have to move you to get the rate?
