As a solo traveler, the Edge series of ships are the only ones in Celebrity's fleet that have a solo balcony room.  There's no other category for solos with solo pricing.  Though appreciated for the miniscule effort, they put the solo cabins in the worst place on the ship, deck 6, with nearly all cabins having obstructions and only mid-ship (not so bad) and forward (sucks).  

 

Shared dining is available for a solo with Celebrity.  You can choose a dining time with maximum X number of people at the table or anytime dining, which is a free style, eat when you want kind of thing.

Thanks. I am aware whats happening with solo travellers on celebrity. I just feel i have to be somewhat agnostic with cruises and go for the lower price. The sept 24 pacific coastal is priced quite cheaply for some reason, even comparing other lines.

That would explain why it was down last night as it was pacific time so 10pm eastern that it was down. But isn't it 1:30pm eastern right now? Its still down.

Please note i  can get into the site. Its when i click on a room that i get the error message. I've tried different devices and browsers.

I tried logging in and i still get the error. Its concerning since its been since 7pm last night.

Its a bit concerning that it is still happening today and i wondered if its a cyber attack.

Has anyone seen the princess cruise site won't let you go to booking page since last night? I'm wondering if this is a canadian thing.

Thanks. Is there any difference between an inside room and prime inside room? The price seems pretty good on the pacific coastal i’m looking at, but no obc right now.

I’m not familiar with celebrity. I know royal caribbean has a string of sales that aren’t really sales. Is that the case with celebrity? I’ve noticed some offer obc, not sure if that is a good deal.

I’m also interested if shared dining is offered on celebrity. I’m a solo traveller.

Thanks. There is an amex promo right now in canada and i will use that instead although its not as good.

Thats terrible!

I think i asked this before but i didn't buy a cruisefirst at booking as i felt i may not use it.Cruise agent says you can't use after cruise has been booked. Can you apply on payment screen still?

The pacific coastal on april 7 2024 on princess is definitely not a double single supplement. Unfortunately as its pst final payment date rooms are pretty picked over. Also it appears only inside rooms are discounted.

Thank you. I am glad to hear its not a party cruise.  I was also looking at a norwegian cruise in march and i’m thinking that would be more likely to be a party cruise due to spring break. Right now i’m trying to decide between a pacific coastal on sapphire princess or mexican cruise on discovery. They are very different ships and i am happy to hear positive feedback on this one. It would be nice to get some sun in the winter in mexico.

Thanks all. So are mexican cruises more party cruises? To add, i’m not a partier or drinker. I will check out the live posts.

I’m looking at going on a mexican riviera cruise on the discovery princess. Just interested on what people thought of the ship? I haven’t sailed princess before. If you took a mexican riviera cruise did you enjoy it? Th ship seems quite large.

Thanks everyone! To me the price makes it worth it if weather is cooler. I think of california as hot but i guess it isn’t always.

Thanks. The date is may 10th

I note the spring 2025 pacific coastal cruise is about 40% cheaper than fall 2025. Could there-be something wrong with the cruise or is it just the time of year its going. Also an older ship the sapphire princess.

Someone on a solo celebrity thread had reported princess is charging more than 200% on the sun princess. I checked and this is correct, not on all cruises but quite a few. This is unfortunate. Has anyone noticed this happening on other ships?

Thanks both. Its so hard! Ships are very different. Mexican cruise is norwegian bliss which i like as solo gatherings but not its big size, pacific coastal is on sapphire princess and i like its small size, Maybe i’ll have to do both!

I posted in trip advisor and the san diego people didn't think fog was that big a deal. They said there is fog in early morning - it burns off - then fog late afternoon but not every day. Better fog than a hurricane!

Oh no! I didn't realize it was hurricane season! Maybe i should push to December?

Thanks. I guess there is a reason they make these spring pacific coastals cheap! I assume weather is ok in mexico in november?

Thanks for the reply.The pacific coastal i am looking at is in may and i am looking at a mexican riviera in november 

I'm debating between a mexican riviera vs. pacific coastal cruise. I do have concerns that the pacific coastal cruise will be rough which is my hesitation regarding that cruise. For mexican riviera i mainly want to go to puerta vallarta and not sure about taking the whole cruise for that reason. I'm not so interested in Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan. I'm thinking for both cruises i could do land vacations instead but san diego and san francisco both have expensive hotel prices. The cruise i'm looking at the cruise is in port in san diego and san francisco 8-10pm so could see quite a bit. Anyways just thinking out loud here. Are there other considerations?
