AV8rix Posted April 24, 2018 #2576 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Me again for my 2018 spring cruise. Countdown clock in my signature says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zawmer Posted April 24, 2018 #2577 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I just got the last Studio Cabin on the NCL Breakaway Baltic Cruise on June 25,2018. Its my 30th birthday present to myself. My 2nd solo cruise (1st was NCL Epic Mediterranean over 2 years ago) and 15th overall. You're gonna have a great time! I absolutely loved my Baltic Sea cruise four years ago. Although I didn't travel solo that time, my friend and I mostly went our separate ways at the ports because I love random urban exploration. Assuming you're stopping in St Petersburg, be prepared for things to be... not ideal? I've done a solo cruise on RCCL's Ovation of the Seas and on HAL's Koningsdam. My third will be on the Epic next year, so let me know if you have any tips! :D:D:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaFairy707 Posted April 26, 2018 #2581 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Does anyone know the criteria for NCL deciding to offer the solo cruiser discount? I have a cruise booked that my travel companion can't go on so I might be going alone and hoping they offer a solo discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duvall702 Posted April 26, 2018 #2582 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'm traveling alone on NCL Getaway in a solo small cabin with it's own lounge area restricted to solo travelers only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip2cruise Posted April 26, 2018 #2583 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Does anyone know the criteria for NCL deciding to offer the solo cruiser discount? I have a cruise booked that my travel companion can't go on so I might be going alone and hoping they offer a solo discount.It's usually based on their desire to fill the ship because they are not selling cabins at a fast enough rate. Those typically occur after final payment,so someone booked prior to final payment wouldn't be able to benefit from that price reduction. The best bet, would be to just keep checking prices,maybe it will drop some prior to final payment or drop after final payment and you can upgrade your cabin.

I actually booked when final payments were due 90 out, now they are due 120 days out for folks that booked later so maybe I'll be able to grab a good price in that 30 day window. I have a really good balcony that I'd like to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowardK Posted April 29, 2018 #2587 Share Posted April 29, 2018 3 more weeks to the Escape- in a studio but I am going to check the week before to see if there are any discounts- I saw this weeks sailing had good deals on Balconies that weren't sail away rates. Not sure if they still let you call and pay the difference- I did that but it was way back when in 2014 and 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croozbabe Posted April 29, 2018 #2592 Share Posted April 29, 2018 ...........I have to pay double on solo cruises That doesn't seem to bother you because you take numerous cruises solo all the time...and, I might add, to all the same destinations over and over. So you must be enjoying yourself....yet you don't smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gullcruiser Posted May 1, 2018 #2596 Share Posted May 1, 2018 CUBA ANYONE? I'm on the Azamara Journey Feb. 20th for their 9 day cruise with 2 nights in Havana. Sounds interesting but would be much better if there were other solos on the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to meet people to do excursions with. Any tips are appreciated :) Hi, I would say go look and see if there is regular roll call for your cruise.....that would be a good way to meet other people and see about joining in on some excursions.

SteelMagnolia9 Posted May 2, 2018 #2598 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Just booked yesterday for May 2019, 14 night Baltic Heritage cruise out of Southhampton on Sapphire Princess followed by a b2b 7 night Norwegian Fjords cruise on the same ship. It seems a long way out, but I’ve had both cruises on my travel list and I’m happy to be able to do both with only one flight. Princess is currently running a promo called Landmark Sale until June 19th on some cruises with generous onboard credit. Solos entitled to double the onboard credit.

If I hadn't just booked a trip on the MSC Seaside, I'd definitely be looking at some more Princess offerings for 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happycruiserhw Posted May 3, 2018 #2600 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hi all, I just discovered this thread. I'm booked to sail on NCL Dawn on Dec 6, 2018 (10 days) - Solo. On that roll call, but wondered if any other Solo will be on the Ship then? So far I've sailed Solo on HAL (Eurodam) and NCL (Escape and Jade). Have to say NCL is a much younger crowd! HAL is slightly more gourmet and musical - but closes down pretty well at 11 PM. anyway -- just dropping in to say hello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
