winddawn Posted May 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Does anyone know what a single cruiser is charged for a single room? It depends on the ship/sail date. It can be up to 100% single supplement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lneilan Posted May 27, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Do you know how to find out because that info is hard to locate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajMom96 Posted May 27, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Do you know how to find out because that info is hard to locate. I would recommend you contact HAL directly with a few itineraries/ships in mind. That’s the quickest way to get the info on solo traveler pricing.

Rare Roz Posted May 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Besides the date, ship, and itinerary, it depends on the cabin category. I've paid less than 100% on insides and outsides, but balconies and suites are going to be double. Best way to find out is to do a mock booking.

lneilan Posted May 27, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Thanks, I guess i will talk to a cruise consultant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted May 27, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2018 It depends on the ship/sail date. It can be up to 100% single supplement. Your question is too vague. I can vary by ship, where it is sailing and when. more facts needed. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comcox Posted May 28, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 28, 2018 It used to be less than 100% a few years ago if you went with a lower grade cabin. However, now I'm finding it 100% f(except for taxes and port fees) or any grade cabin on any sailing I've inquired about. Because of this I'm sailing a lot less on HAL.

Rare *Miss G* Posted May 28, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I paid 75% last month. As the others say, it depends on the sailing and the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TiogaCruiser Posted May 28, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks, I guess i will talk to a cruise consultant. Like Roz said, just do a mock booking. Change the default “1” on number of pax to “2” and proceed. The cost (including SS) will be listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajMom96 Posted May 28, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I believe the Koningsdam actually has some “solo traveler” cabins, but I’ve never checked the pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted May 28, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I believe the Koningsdam actually has some “solo traveler” cabins, but I’ve never checked the pricing. That's correct, the Koningsdam has single cabins. They're in the front of the ship, and oddly shaped because they're in the "curve". When pricing single cabins on any line, you need to do a comparison with the price of a "regular" cabin. Sometimes the single cabin is more expensive, for reasons I can't explain.

navybankerteacher Posted May 28, 2018 #14 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The single supplement varies - depending on itinerary and ship- most significantly upon how close you are to sailing date. Before marrying, I regularly booked last minute - sailing solo. When there were unsold cabins, the fare dropped somewhat - but the single supplement dropped a lot - sometimes from 100% to 25% .

Rare Scrapnana Posted May 28, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I have paid about 165% for three of the cruises I have done on HAL (Panama Canal, Hawaii, Tahiti, and the Marquesas, and the GWV). I paid 200% (which seems to be fairly standard) for Alaska. I have booked one of the two solo cabins on the Prinsendam for my next cruise and it was $4000 less than the cheapest ocean view with solo supplement. This was a good deal but as Roz mentioned above, solo cabins (on any cruise line) are not always the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV8rix Posted May 28, 2018 #20 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The single supplement varies - depending on itinerary and ship- most significantly upon how close you are to sailing date. Before marrying, I regularly booked last minute - sailing solo. When there were unsold cabins, the fare dropped somewhat - but the single supplement dropped a lot - sometimes from 100% to 25% . That has been my strategy. But I can do that because I live at one Pacific port and within 3 hours' travel of another. However, I've even done it for some Ft. Lauderdale sailings: Planning on a specific cruise, I'll book an air fare that can be cancelled (SWA) and a hotel that can be cancelled -- sometimes booking close to a year in advance if it's a cruise that I particularly want. Then, after final payment date for the cruise, I'll start watching the price. When I believe that the fare has bottomed out (or the supplement is significantly reduced) I'll book the cruise. So far this strategy hasn't failed...but there's always the chance that the cruise will sell out or the price will increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
