Single Rates, where do you go to get them?

[Rdabadie]

Hi all

I'm a single traveller here, and usually go on Carnival because they just have the best rates if you don't want to share a cabin (1.5x the 1A Rate). However, there has to be better single rates than the 2x rates I see for NCL on most of the websites. Do any other single travelers have suggestions for a lower rate? FYI for the first time I may be cruising with a group of friends but still want my own cabin.

Thanks in advance

I booked a single cabin on the Spirit on 5/15, and because it was a "special rate", I had to pay double the per person fare. But it ended up being about the same as 150% of the usual single fare. There are so many variables regarding single occupany that you just have to do a lot of research.

Good luck!

I came across a website called [url="http://www.myowncabin.com"]www.myowncabin.com[/url] that specializes in finding rates for single passengers only. I lucked out and had a fantastic travel angent that booked me at only 60% and not the usual double occupancy rate back in January and only one month before sailing...but she was not from the website, she was someone locally.

The website is actually [url="http://www.YourOwnCabin.com"]www.YourOwnCabin.com[/url]. They send out a weekly newsletter listing no single supplement cruises. I have been subscribed since mid February and have since booked 2 cruises. The newsletter is definately worth the $19.95 subscription fee. Better than spending hours searching the web for single occupancy specials or hoping my local travel agent would come up with something.
