I agree with both of your comments, but some cruise lines, e.g Holland America, typically sets aside a table for singles at lunch and at both of the dinner servings so singles can mingle ... they also occasionally have a number of 'single activities' e.g., trivia night ... but then the number of singles is much greater on bigger ships .... I'm not worried about dining alone as there often is an 'odd' number at a table but given that PG is making a marketing decision to encourage single to travel (I have heard they have put 8 cabins aside for singles on certain cruises) I was just wondering what types of experiences other singles had had in the past, and if anything 'special' had been planned.....
