I have a dear friend who i have frequently travelled with for years, but she doesnt like TAs. So i did one last fall, and have another scheduled this fall. One advantage i love about  solo is that i tend to feel cold, while she cant tolerate being warmer, so solo i can control room temp to tolerable for me. I loved not having to have extra blankets and sleeping in sweats. 

Its wonderful to share experiences and i look forward to our May cruise, but I also look forward to the one this fall. So for me, destination/type of cruise matters - I want to share museums and attractions with someone with like tastes and to have a swimming buddy feels safer, but for lazy days with lots of at sea days i really prefer solo.

Good points! I've only been on three cruises so far, two of which were solo. I have two more planned for this year and suspect all future cruises will be solo (by choice). The main thing I miss about traveling with people is that I don't have anyone to reminisce and share inside jokes with after it's over. The benefits outweigh this though and I always have a good time!
