Dthomas1 Posted August 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Cruising alone has many benefits. I and I'm sure that other's cruising alone would enjoy company for dinner and possibly enjoying a cruise together if both wanted. If this is you, Let's seek other's going on the same cruise and hopefully make plans to meet onboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you checked into your roll call? That might be a good place to pose your question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wennfred Posted August 9, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) I'm a Solo cruiser most of the time and I just go to the Matre'D and ask to be seated at a singles table or a table with people 10 or 12 seats. Enjoy the company with others while in the MDR. Fred Edited August 9, 2022 by Wennfred 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience (three AK cruises), Alaska rollcalls are often pretty quiet. People figure they will be so busy, whether it's excursions or just gawking from the ship that they don't bother to make arrangements with others. You might flag and alert a moderator to combine the RC you started with the one that started in May. What Fred suggested about the M'D is a good idea. If you hit it off with others at the table you can see if they want to set a time to meet for further dinners... and if you don't you're not obliged to! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 9, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 9, 2022 There is a button you can push to ask to eat with others. Dinner I didnt have much luck but found if I arrived for brunch a group of us all were pushing that button to eat with others. For dinner for it to work you would need anytime dining and many couples during covid want to sit alone. Anytime dining on their app is another thing imo carnival does better than anyone else. I like that I can have a choice. If you are on dream jan 13 2024. .. lol come join me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sociable but it would be nice and exciting to find someone before cruise time to meet on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare chasinraynbowz Posted August 10, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I am recently widowed and went on a 4 day solo cruise in March. I chose early dining thinking it would be nice to eat with the same people. Wrong. I ate by myself most of the time. I am going solo again in January on the Celebration. This time I have anytime dining. I posted in our group chat to anyone else was cruising solo, if they are interested, we could have dinner together. Hahaha, a man answered and said he was sailing with his sister and he was single "right now" and that if he was still unemcumbered at cruise time, he might be interested in meeting. I am NOT interested in "hooking up". LOL Op, thanks for starting this thread. Now I know what to do... 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
