1jazzylady Posted June 7, 2015 #3676 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) The 2016 TA sounds good, I will check it out. Very good deal for Alaska Grand Pricess 7 nights $900 but leaves from Anchorage and arrives Vancouver, BC June 27,2015, July 1, 2015.

LBCABob Posted June 8, 2015 #3677 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Couldn't resist the 21 day Norwegian Epic sailing 11/27/16. $1500 total in a studio. Great itinerary.... Do you mind telling how you came across this price/itinerary? At NCL's site? Elsewhere? I looked at the only place I know of that specifically lists "Singles Discounts" (the one with vacations and togo in its name) and this cruise is not shown. Google not much help either (at least, to me). I am at the point in my travels where I have cruised to the parts of the world in which I have an interest and, being a senior solo with a limited budget, now look for great prices going places I would not have otherwise considered. For example, HAL had some amazing deals (in my opinion) on their Feb 2015 Rotterdam 33/49 day cruises between Singapore & London (no solo charge, $61-72/night). So, now I am keeping an eye on this ship for their 2016 sailings in case history repeats itself. Any other ways to find good deals (besides this thread)?

I had no problem locating this specific cruise at the NCL site. My question relates to how you came across this sailing in the first place. Just shopping around for Med cruises and saw the price? Knew Epic was one of few ships with solo Studio cabins and searched for same? On some NCL email list specific to solo cruisers? I suspect there is no "magic bullet" website where you can find all the solo cruise prices in one convenient location. If there was, then it would have been mentioned here long, long ago, I'm sure. Again, thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrenalineRush Posted June 8, 2015 #3680 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Oh,I misunderstood what you were asking. I normally just check the various websites individually. Since I have status with several cruise lines,its easier for me to see the lowest rate based on my perks. One thing nice about some of the cruise sites is they allow you to enter in 1 traveler, which helps show the cheapest rates for solo cruisers. I wish they would all do this. There are third party sites out there that people use,but board rules doesn't allow us to share those.

venicecruiser Posted June 8, 2015 #3682 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Seabourn has a solo promotional rate on the Quest, 15 day transat, Ft. Lauderdale to Barcelona, March 31, 2017. Cat is SA gty. This category is not shown on their website you would need to ask your travel agent. Its a great price for those of us who plan way ahead!

RandoCalrissian Posted June 9, 2015 #3684 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Any other ways to find good deals (besides this thread)? In addition to the well-known travel agent with the solo lists you mentioned (which I also frequent), I use cruiseplum to help find cheap solo deals. (I checked the rules, and since it's not a travel agent or a commercial site, I think it's ok to mention) The biggest feature for me is the searchable pricing for one person in a cabin and the ability to sort by price-per-day. On the downside, it doesn't handle previous cruiser or residency discounts and it doesn't have as many lines as other sites. Also since they don't book cruises or recommend TAs, it adds another step to the deal search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1 person selection does not always work, I have seen search results that don't show the proper solo rate till you go into the specific cruise it is due to the way pricings at each level gets cached/updated.

Rare insidecabin Posted June 9, 2015 #3689 Share Posted June 9, 2015 With NCL the solo in an inside can be cheaper than the studio so you have to be carefull searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrobstad Posted June 10, 2015 #3692 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm guessing that Rando gave you the online TA site that so clearly lays out solo pricing for most cruise lines. That usually my starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1jazzylady Posted June 11, 2015 #3697 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Anyone just take a cruise because you have the time off of work and the price is right but you really have no interest in the ports? Rccl and NCL both have Bahamas 7 days under 950, but I have been to the Bahamas more than once. One cruise is 6/26 the other 8/15. Maybe do one and do a land trip to Toronto or someplace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One cruise is 6/26 the other 8/15. Maybe do one and do a land trip to Toronto or someplace I did that with Caribbean cruises the last 2 summers, one on the Getaway and one on the Oasis. On the Getaway cruise I never even got off the ship the entire week. I had a great and very relaxing time on both cruises. Go for it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only get off the ship when there is something I need to buy or to just stretch my legs. The ship's destination is not always important to me.
