With Carnival's online forms make sure you have "compatibility view" turned on if using IE.

That Splendor cruise is 4 days so you would receive $50 OBC.

If you're looking for a singles cruise specifically, you'll probably have to go through a travel agency. I don't believe Carnival sells singles cruises.

Carnival has select sailings with no solo supplement. I booked a 5 day cruise (OV room) for $189 late last year. It appears they release these only a couple of months before the sailing date.

There are some GREAT deals on solo cruises on the Sunshine this month as well.

However, the 2 tops are only about 8" apart so they are in no way private. I always request a 2 tops with 2 chairs so I don't get stuck in the middle of those booth/chair combos.. They are really hard to get in and out of.

Alternately, we request one of table/booths on the end so at least you only have to deal with another table on one side of you.

And if you don't mind being bored out of your mind, there's always the free Champaign at the Art Auction.

Boring? You're doing it wrong! I love getting the assistants all hyped up that we're interested in one of those hideous Peter Max's. :D

As long as it's not a port hole window, he will have plenty of room

Due to the curvature of the hull, the PT rooms actually have more room for that sort of thing. I crawled up into it several times in room R11 on Fascination.

The deck parties were pretty lame. All that happened was line dancing, nothing else.

The deck parties on Conquest were better when ACD "Squishy" was on board. Wasn't a fan of Matt last time.

I don't understand this? My daughter and I are flying from Arizona to Jacksonville.. People don't do this?:confused:

As Tapi put much more eloquently than I - yes, but you will be in the minority. I fly from Nashville but RT to Jacksonville can usually be had for $100-120 on Southwest.

He's one of the best.

Our previous 4 cruises were great, but #5 was not so for us. Came home feeling, CCL not what it has been. MDR service (early seating) extremely slow, food not as good tasting as in the past, Piano Bar player (forget his name) very rude/arrogant attitude, Shows (I won't even try to discuss.)

I've heard poor things from many people about the piano guy on Fascination.

YTD worked well for us though we asked for specific tables after the 2nd night and were accommodated.

Great ship, great crew, most "fun" cruisers. Go in understanding that a diverse group from across the US is not flying into Jacksonville to go on this cruise and you'll have a great time. I personally love it.

I know kamikaze shots are on it. I usually get a few during the show. There is also a Jäger based shot I believe though I prefer that just straight if the night is going to come to that. :)

It's amazing how much can be stuffed into that flimsy paper bag.

Yep! I stuff it full. Never had any issues but I would not send my dress shirts or slacks down.

How long ago was that? Since solo cruisers pay the double occupancy price now, they are supposed to get the whole OBC. This was changed a couple of years ago, and I did take advantage of it. I got $100 OBC for a 7 day cruise. It's listed on the last line:

 

On Board Credit Offer

• $50.00 USD per stateroom on a 3/4/5 day cruise

• $75.00 USD per stateroom on a 6-day cruise

• $100.00 USD per stateroom on a 7-11 day cruise

• $200.00 USD per stateroom on 12 day or longer cruises

• Single occupancy receive 100% of the on board credit.

I booked a cruise that had no solo supplement. Couple of months ago. I should have clarified that.

Rather than use the "cruise deals" link on Carnival's main page, I find them by searching for 1 traveler and sorting by price. The ones that do not have the solo supplement should be obvious.

Keep in mind that the OBC is based on double occupancy. I booked a 5 day solo cruise on board but only received $25 OBC.

I wasn't aware they were banned, but I have taken mine on several cruises in both my checked and carry-on luggage with no issues.

Not very but don't be obvious about it.

The solo January sailings on Sunshine are a steal right now, especially with the resident rate.

It's a great ship.

Check out an excellent review here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1760811&highlight=conquest+review+schultz

We did zip lining along with an island tour with Victor Bodden in Roatan. Highly recommended.

On the specials page they have a single passenger line. You hit it and it shows a huge list of cruises. Some are gray and some are white. No distinction is given, but the white ones are on sale and all the others are not.

Thanks for that info! I was hoping they would continue the solo supplement discount into 2014.

I bought them for a gift once. Glad to hear they are the same ones.

You can technically stay overnight, you just run the risk of the ship not returning the following day due to weather or some other unforseen circumstance.

You will earn 1 point per dollar. It is not necessarily per dollar spent as presumably you will win some and spend that. Much easier to get tracked at the slots than at table games.
