rayness Posted May 2, 2016 #27 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I am new to solo cruising.. just wondering if there is a way to search for cruises with single deals... especially when one is looking for a specific itinerary... I am going through a divorce and budget is an issue though I am able to travel "off season" Lorraine Check out cruise plum. It isn't a TA website but you can find some good deals there. I regularly stalk the site to help feed my newfound solo cruise addiction. Won't mention how many cruises I have booked and how many more I want to book..... Let's just say at this point in life I'm working to feed my cruise addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmak8 Posted May 4, 2016 #28 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have found some great solo deals on cruiseplum.com. The website is easy to navigate. I check it every day for new offers. As for NCL studio cabins, NOT FOR ME!!! Tiny !! I sailed in a balcony cheaper than the studio on the NCL Breakaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeganEE Posted May 7, 2016 #30 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hi folks, I'm a long-time solo cruiser (frankly, I prefer solo cruising to non-solo cruising), and I've never been charged more than the expected 100% single supplement. :) However, in the situation described above in this thread, where RC wanted to charge 400%, and/or won't give any of the discounts/perks non-solos get, couldn't a person just book a stateroom for 2 (for example, myself and my sister, all on my credit card), get the discounts/perks/usual price, then show up at the ship and say "My sister broke her leg! How terrible! She's not able to cruise after all"? How would they know? Or even if they suspected, what could they do about it? :p;) Thoughts?

MEE I have heard of people being refused to board when they tried that on river cruises for their 2 for 1 specials....but could that be an urban myth? I would think if it was doable, somewhere we would have read/heard about it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted June 8, 2016 #32 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Any line charging more than 100% supplement--I'd book for 2 or 3 to get the discount and then not have the phantom cruisers show. I've done that when the wanted to take my cabin away. Edited June 8, 2016 by crusinpsychRN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certainly situations when the sales are great but the single rate is 3 times the price - a recent Cunard comes to mind.....so how did you succeed in pulling it off?

It was when they had a 3rd and 4th person sail free promotion. I have to pay double anyway so I booked 3 in the cabin and at embarkation I told them I didn't think they'd make it.
