How do solos handle making reservations for SD? I am going solo on the Jewel (so not studio). All SD reservations are for 2, 4 or more people. Do I just reserve for the lowest number in the options they give? I called and the rep would not let one reserve for a higher qty, and suggested I wait till embarkation day, or I could just walk up and see if there is availability. While I don't mind that for the MDR, I would like to set up my SD in advance. It seems silly for NCL to do this and claim to be solo friendly. I am sure I will meet some people to share for some evenings, but I like to have a plan....

I just booked the Jewel for a B2B on Aug 21 - Sept 4. I'm going solo and looking forward to the experience. It will be my first time in Alaska and my first time on NCL, though this is my 10th cruise and 3rd time going solo. I was also considering the Canada line to/from the airport, as it seemed like a good value for a solo traveler vs a taxi. It's just a bit farther to lug the bags to/from the ship but shouldn't be too bad. Time to start planning my excursions etc.! Thank you for all the detail and recommendations in this thread. I am sure to do the Mendenhall Glacier and White Pass rail. Feel free to mention any other "must do" items. While I don't think there would be much difference, would there be any preference as to which B2B leg (NB or SB) to do them on as the ports are almost the same on each leg.
