I've joined the roll-call, I've requested to sit at a larger table, and I'm travelling to the port by arranged coach so I'll potentially be meeting lots of people.

I'm quite introverted so whilst dinner at a large table might be nice, I may need to lay down in my room or find a quiet corner of a bar to recover afterwards lol

I'm mostly kidding... however I might look around CC and see if anyone's posted an introverts guide to taking a cruise lol.

I've travelled solo before but as with ArtsyCraftsy, I've not been on a cruise before. I've therefore been skulking about CC finding advice.

My cruise is in 9 days time, I'll be on the Arcadia cruising the Norwegian Fjords. So Artsy... I'll feedback on solo cruising upon my return!

Thanks all.

Many thanks everyone for the advice. I would probably have wildly over-packed but I feel re-assured by everyone's advice and comments.

Whilst I'm usually prepared for most things and plan well... when packing for vacations I always manage to miss something!

Usually it is something fairly essential like a hairbrush, no idea why! So if you're on the Arcadia going to Norway in 9 days time and see someone wandering around for the first few hours with terrible hair... that'll be me!

Many thanks!

I'd tried looking for posts like this but didn't think to look under 'special interest' [emoji1]

Hi everyone,

Just wondered what advice solo travellers had for someone new to cruising?

Most people posting seem to be part of a couple or group, so I wondered if there were many solo adventurers out there?

Thanks,

A question to all you experienced cruisers out there...

What one thing do you always ensure you pack?

You've got your documents, tickets, passport, camera, sun cream, night cream, stuffed toy, valium, clown-repellant, superhero underwear, a map of Bulgaria (even though you're not going there but it was in the glove box so you packed it just in case), shoes, and all the clothing you'll need...

What is that little item that you take that has proven useful that you'd wished you'd thought of taking with you when you were new to cruising?

I've heard some people mention they must have magnets... is there any other cruise hacks you can share?

Thanks,

Leane
