I didn't say there was anything wrong with booking day before, it's just that out of all my solo cruiser friends I've never met anyone who did the day before. This works fine for me, i'm a NY resident and I can jump onboard that fast. I know a lot of people that come from Pilly, Chitown, Balt and other not too distant locations, it won't work for them because of high airline rates.

I had one online agency tell me in a phone call that they have so many thousands of cruises listed they can't be held responsible, I told them "oh yes you can, if you can't be held responsible don't advertise it". Maybe try one of the larger brokers, I snagged a deal on xpe that no one else was offering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously trying to find something out of Florida for March 10-17 and cant seem to find anything decent for solo I think we are getting into one of the "high seasons" for cruises out of Florida--spring break season. It will be bad through mid-late April because of that, unless you happen to catch a very last-minute fare. If you are set on cruising that week, you'll probably just have to grit your teeth and pay the higher fares. Cheapest seems to be during hurricane season and then December through mid-February or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificCoastal Posted March 6, 2019 #914 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Long time reader, first time contributor. Thanks for all the great deals! NCL just reduced the single supplement for some Alaska sailings on the Jewel and Bliss in May and June. It’s not zero supplement yet, but the balconies are a good price for Alaska. The lowest price for each of the ship/itinerary options are below. Norwegian Jewel 5/27/19 Glaciers SB from Seward Inside IX $824 Oceanview OX $1498 Balcony BX $1499 taxes and fees $235 Norwegian Jewel 5/20/19 Glaciers NB from Vancouver Inside IX $869 Oceanview OX $974 Balcony BX $1499 taxes and fees $204 Norwegian Bliss 5/5/19 Inside Passage from Seattle Inside IX $1124 Oceanview OX $1424 Balcony BX $1499 Mini-suite MX $1574 taxes and fees $246 There don’t appear to be any reduced rates on the Norwegian Joy.

My airmiles go to NRT, not HND. Then I got a note from Japan. 4/ 29-5/5 is Golden Week, many , many locals off work using all public transportation and roads. Really bad travel time in Japan. The local military base advises stay near home. And this year looks worse than usual. I decided to not go. Maybe Vancouver to Japan in Sept.

The local military base advises stay near home. And this year looks worse than usual. I decided to not go. Maybe Vancouver to Japan in Sept. I was solo on a trans-Pacific from Tokyo to Seward last year leaving during Golden Week. I was a bit concerned, but a bit of research said that it is a big time for people to leaving urban areas to get out to the natural and country areas so I went ahead with the cruise and made plans for the trip focusing on Tokyo for my pre-cruise stay. My arrival in Tokyo coincided with the start of Golden Week. There was no problem getting hotel reservations for Tokyo, museums and other tourist attractions were open as normal and not crowded. If anything, Tokyo is less busy than usual at that time. Our first port (in Northern Japan) was on the last day of Golden Week and it didn't cause any issues there either. The timing would be bad if you wanted to do a pre-cruise stay in the more rural areas (the places a Japanese person goes for a spring get-away) but fine if you are mainly interested in Tokyo. Kind of like you might want to avoid a spring break trip to Florida, but a visit to New York City at that time would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmyersmgr Posted March 18, 2019 #923 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Good morning everyone. I am interested in cruising solo after the passing of my husband. We both loved cruising, I recently retired, and now I need to find some deals. I do not have a partner to travel with, however, I want to continue to cruise. Can you offer me some advise on how to find these solo deals, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
