kittenjing Posted August 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I would like to know what cruise ships offer single cabins? I heard NCL had a few - I'm looking to British Isles for 2020. Would consider also Portugal/Spain as well. Any comments would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted August 22, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2019 maybe ask on the solo forum you may get a better response https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/279-solo-cruisers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted August 22, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) RCI Quantum class also offers some. In most cases where they are offered by a cruise line the rooms naturally are smaller and there still is a premium on the stateroom rates as a solo, but one that is significantly lower than that which is charged as a double occupancy rate for a solo passenger in a standard stateroom.

1025cruise Posted August 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Any cabin can be a solo cabin. Sometimes the cost for an inside cabin is cheaper than the studio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the cost for an inside cabin is cheaper than the studio. Yes, by just having one passenger book it. But having that be less costly than a studio, or designated solo stateroom, is very rare as double occupancy staterooms typically charge double occupancy rates for a solo, regardless of category or location. The whole point of designated solo staterooms is to have their rate be less than that of any other double occupancy stateroom when booked by a solo passenger.

BlueRiband Posted August 23, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2019 QM2 added solo cabins in her 2016 refit. They are hugely popular and sell out almost immediately when booking opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallux Posted August 23, 2019 #9 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Do your homework though. I was very critical of folks saying that the studios are not that great of a bargain compared to some other cabins, when I sailed on the Norwegian Bliss in April. I just booked another trip on the Bliss, when the TA gave me the quotes with airfare and shuttles included it turned out to cost me $46 more to sail solo in a GTY balcony compared to a studio. Of course - I only selected 2 free-at-sea perks as I didn't want the drink package and don't need internet so I saved on the gratuities on the drink package. If I wanted a sail-away rate I could have saved more on the cruise fare and then booked my own airfare. To answer the actual question - NCL's Breakaway and Breakaway+ ships generally have studio cabins, with the exception of Joy. As noted - RCI's Quantum-class ships have them as well (including limited studio balcony cabins), and I think I've heard that some of the Oasis-class ships have some solo/studio cabins as well. MSC's newest ship, Bellissima, has this cabin type as well (I was looking at her for a trip as well). Edited August 23, 2019 by hallux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
