I'm not stupid. Why would I fork over $3300 if I can't get a cruise? If Princess / CCL is no longer interested in my travel $$s where do I go?? Does any other line (other than MSC) let us transfer our status? MSC and Virgin both status match. Virgin have cabins for solo travellers, and not just inside ones. It’s a subject I’m researching at the moment, being a bit disenchanted with Princess’ lack of care for solos; for example, the new sphere class ships still don’t have solo accommodation so, once again, we get hammered for under-occupancy Celebrity don’t status match but the newest Edge class ships have solo accommodation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted July 2, 2023 #27 Share Posted July 2, 2023 It’s not just Princess. In fact, I haven’t researched a single on Princess. But back in Feb/March I was having a small window where I could take a short cruise. As a solo trying to book late, I couldn’t get a cabin as a solo in any category on Carnival, Celebrity, or MSC. So, I stayed home. But booking a little farther ahead I was able to book a B2B 4/3 on MSC from Port Canaveral in August. And even shorter time I got a cabin on Celebrity Summit to Bermuda. I haven’t looked further out…I’m getting on in years and as someone else said, lately I don’t even buy green bananas…. EM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just yesterday I booked a mini-suite as a solo traveler for an October cruise out of L.A. on the Majestic Princess. Same here. Just last week I booked a regular balcony on Majestic (October South Pacific crossing) as a solo for $0 supplement! Based on others experience in this thread I got very lucky indeed.

Rare Ombud Posted July 27, 2023 #29 Share Posted July 27, 2023 My CVP got me my preferred room on another transatlantic (11/28/24) and its the last room in that category (midship BW). So solos can still cruise on PCL 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robncruise Posted July 27, 2023 #30 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Have had no trouble booking solo cabins on PCL. Just off Diamond Princess Japan - booked single balcony cabin just 6 weeks ago and met several other solo travellers on the cruise. Also have a New Zealand cruise booked solo for Jan 24 in an obstructed balcony cabin. And many other solo options available for other cruises I have looked at.
