My wife and I have been married for 34 years. I retired back in April but she can't retire for another 3 years. She enjoys cruising, but doesn't have the free time that I do. We have a back to back booked on the Icon of the Seas in September 2024 and wanted to get to Diamond status before that trip. To that end, I am taking a 12 night solo cruise on the Anthem at the end of January 2023. I'm booked solo in a regular cabin to get those double points. 

How do those of you who have cruised solo before handle dinners? Do you eat solo or do you try to meet someone on the ship? Does Royal typically assign solo cruisers to the same tables, or are they seated solo?

I also am not confident that Canada is actually going to allow cruise ships as early as May or will Alaska be allowing ships the size of Quantum.  The cruise line might just leave the ship in the market that it is in, instead of converting it back to an "Americanized" ship.

My only is with this is if they won't allow the Quantum, then they won't allow the Ovation either, right?

So yesterday we booked the Quantum leaving on June 21, 2021.  We sailed on the Anthem to Bermuda and loved that ship, so we know we'll like the Quantum.

But what is confusing is the price difference. The Ovation cruise on June 18th was $1000+ more than the same cabin on the Ovation. 

Any ideas as to why?
