Hello everyone. I've never cruised before and have just signed up for one. I didn't want to go completely solo so I opted for one of the "single hosted" cruises. I am single and don't go out to eat or to shows, etc. for the simple fact that I don't like going alone. Also having never cruised before I wasn't sure what would be offered for singles onboard. I love the water and travel so we will see how this works out for me. I might get up the nerve to go completely solo.

Which company did you choose and when are you going? I did the same thing as I was scared to try to go by myself...I like my own company and don't mind wandering around by myself. I talk to anyone and everyone I meet!

If your cruise is before mine (February), please let me know how it goes! :)

Nice thread. 39 somewhat single here. :-) I've usually traveled With family or friends or gf. Coordinating times doesn't always work. I've always wanted to go on a cruise alone as at times when I went with others it was just a pain. Trying to get everyone to agree, etc. Guess it was a year and a half ago now I decided to finally go on a cruise alone. Let me tell you I had a great time. Only did a four day cruise. Happened to be during my birthday too which was even better. Although I seem to cruise every year at some point during that week.

 

I've booked my 2nd solo cruise this November, I can't wait. Will be a 6 night this time. If the 7 or 8 night was available that week for the price i paid id do that. 6 night will work though. A friend or two said they may go, but am hoping they don't. If they do, they are getting there on room. I've got a 6 night for well under $500. That's even with the double occupancy rate.

Where did you find a 6-night cruise for under $500 for a double occupancy rate???

Is everyone paying double fare for the singles cruise? If not, can you share your tips on how to get reduced rates please?

I am booked for a singles cruise in February where I pay for half the cabin and am part of a larger group because I was not sure how it worked to travel by myself...

Also, I never considered my vacations with my daughter (then ages 13-17) on the four Disney cruises as "solo" but I guess they would be as she was with the teens and I was frequently alone. I did enjoy the balcony and sitting out enjoying the view as the cruise traveled through the night. I also got some reading done for a change :D

P.S. Just booked a Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas cruise for next July--has anyone been on that ship?
