paul929207 Posted April 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Sounds like a great idea. You might want to use a travel agent to help you find good rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted April 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Just be aware that cabins are priced PER PERSON...so a cabin cost double the "per person" price. Most folks think this is a rip-off...but that's how they do it...don't be surprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4bob Posted April 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 30, 2016 You have taken the first step in deciding to go on a cruise. Now you have to work on step number 2. Decide where you want to go and when. Also, keep asking questions here. You will receive loads of answers. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivAtornado Posted April 30, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 30, 2016 the downside - it can be expensive. the upside - do whatever you want. i enjoy my own company. its not weird doing things alone or eating alone so solo cruising suits me very well. if you are confident and happy on your own, do it! you can choose to chat with people or keep to yourself (shared dinner table, or solo) have a blast!

Quilting_Cruiser Posted April 30, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 30, 2016 As mentioned, visit the solo cruisers board and you'll find lots of information. My last two cruises were solo and I loved it! The larger NCL ships have studio cabins and you don't have to pay the double occupancy rate for those. They're more than the per-person double occupancy rate, but you do usually save a few hundred dollars that way. Plus they have a solo gathering each evening so you can meet others traveling solo if you're interested in dining with others or seeing shows. Some Royal Caribbean ships have solo cabins, but I don't know which ones. Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
