I have always been on my own, single with no kids. I love travelling and I love the sea. I cannot handle the company of other people. I went on a couple of trips with friends and I always had a miserable time.
When I am on a cruise, I take the time to have some peace and time to myself.
On a sea day, I have a big breakfast, hit a gym class, read, maybe go and have a spa treatment or relax in the thermal rooms. If I am studying, I will do an hour of my Diploma studies.
On a Port day, I have an excursion booked, or explore on my own. Then come back, have dinner, maybe chat to a few people and then hit the thermal room again before bed.
I love the sea and love waking up to a new port every day. Solo travelling has definitely helped my confidence.
