i completed a two week cruise with celebrity to Alaska. Upon arrival I couldnt find my bag. I spend over one hour and finally had to lodge a missing bag complain. This entire exercise took 2 hours extra from my time.

I communicated with Celebrity cruise head office and was told that they will try to locate it. After ten days they told me they had it in Vancouver, BC. After making several attempts to have it delivered, they sent it to a different address than I was staying and I had to collect it. My bag came after exactly two weeks.

I had to go through many difficulties since I was in transit and without my personal belongings, that was in the main suitecase, I had to buy many items. I spent over $2000 in the two weeks that I was missing my main bag.

I wrote to Celebrity cruises to compensate me for the extra expenses I had incurred.

I had to send them reminders and after several attempts I received a reply that they will not compensate me for anything.

I feel really terrible that if they had lost the bag why should they not take the responsibility to compensate the passenger. My bag was received in a horrible condition and I had to broken items inside.

Has anyone else experienced similar experience?

Thanks

I have got some really valuable advises from all you experienced cruisers. I am wondering if there is a common site where we can share good forthcoming studio/solo cruise itineraries. This will be good for new comers like me to find something quickly. I have been searching for long time (maybe I am not that experienced) to find a studio. Most of them seem almost same price as interior. I am on a pension now and budget traveler. Hence getting a bit discouraged.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

This is a great advise. I will check NCL and compare prices for all cabin types.Thanks Iriebajan54. Can I add you as a friend?

Thanks travelnap for all your suggestions. I am in planning stage and soon will be finalizing.

Happy cruising to all.

:D

Thanks so much. This will really help me.:D

Hello friends. I would like to know which cruise lines offer studio or solo travelers discounts. Are these rooms really comfortable. Will there be other solo travelers that we can meet.

Thanks

Hello Solo Cruisers: I see some really good posts. I am a female, cancer survivor in early 60. Now that I think I have been given a second chance in life, I wish to travel and explore the world. I am vegetarian (originally from India), but lived all my life in Canada.

I will like to know how to find good solo cruises? How about doing two cruises (one after the other). Do they serve vegetarian meals in the ship?

How about safety for solo female cruisers?

Lots of question. I need help from those who have experience.

Thanks in advance.:halo:
