LadyBlue58 Posted July 12, 2018 #2676 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Hello all. I'm cruising solo on the Celebrity Infinity December 3 through 8, 2018. I am looking forward to being on this ship, as I love Celebrity Cruises. This will be my 5th cruise alone, so I'm used to dining alone. Sometimes I would rather eat alone (if I'm in the grips of a wonderful book that I'm reading) and sometimes I like to sit with a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBlue58 Posted July 12, 2018 #2677 Share Posted July 12, 2018 solo unless I can find some one to come 04/28/19 TA from NY to Rome and I'm scared as hell lol Booked a balcony...ouch..so I can add someone if i can convince a relative or friend to join in What are you afraid of? It is wonderful being on the ship and visiting all the different countries. When you go solo, ALL of your time is your own. You can stay as long or as short on any adventure or activity that you choose to. You never have to compromise or see something you may not have an interest in. There is no one to get in the way of what you want to do when you want to do it. You can eat as much or as little as you want and no one will ask you about it or tell you that you shouldn't. You can leave anything in the cabin you want, anywhere you want because no one will ask you to move it. You're LIVING your best life now. Enjoy!!!:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attilamom1217 Posted July 16, 2018 #2681 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Just got back from my first European Cruise (Baltics) and I went solo. I did two Carnival cruises solo; but this one was major. I was anxious at first - especially since I have never been to Europe. But, I had a BLAST!!!! Awesome trip. Met lots of wonderful people and had a very memorable experience. Therefore, I have booked the Emerald Princess r/t Barcelona for next June. Will go solo unless I find a roommate. Debbi :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my bucket list trip so it’s definitely my favourite. I’ll be returning to Rome this November for my first TA [emoji5] Glad you had such an amazing time!

Debbi :D (y) Going on my 2nd Cruise ever, Royal Princess, and I'm not sure if it's my 2nd one solo 'cause the first was with a group but I did a solo inside cabin. Feb 2019 I head for a 49 night cruise around South America. Ramona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseyP Posted July 16, 2018 #2684 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Congratulations Attilamom. I have not been to the Baltic countries yet. It sounds like you had a great and rewarding time.

I guess I'm mulit-community, :D Ramona Hi Ramona, thanks for writing back! I guess you are now cruise-addicted like most of us on here..... I am impressed that you are taking that South American journey. Just booked Regal Princess (It is like Royal) for a trip from Brooklyn-Florida by way of the Caribbean, but it's not solo. I am familiar with Canarsie. Is the BRC on Linden Blvd? josey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floridaholic Posted July 18, 2018 #2689 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hi All I have just booked my first solo on Quantum of the Seas. Do RCL do any special activities/meetups for solos? Thanks Floridaholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipperanne Posted July 18, 2018 #2690 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hi All I have just booked my first solo on Quantum of the Seas. Do RCL do any special activities/meetups for solos? Thanks Floridaholic They do not have a staff member assigned to the solo group. They do sometimes post gathering times, but it is hit or miss, I never met up with other solos except in the dining room and on excursions. And they said they had missed people trying to find meet ups as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they said they had missed people trying to find meet ups as well. I've cruised solo with RCCL a few times, and have had crew members join us at the solo lunch. We've had fun getting to know them as well as fellow solo passengers. Next up for me is Snowbird Migration in October, then have a b2b Caribbean, Alaska, Baltic, Med and a TA for next year - you can't take it with you!!

AndWe Posted July 22, 2018 #2692 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Will be doing a solo spin to Alaska next month on Royal Caribbean. Then in December, over Christmas, I'm off to Norway to explore the Northern Lights on the Hurtigruten (some interesting excursions up there!). I just book a solo trip on Diamond Princess to Singapore-Tokyo, with stops in Vietnam, Hong Kong, Osaka, Taipei -- not in that order, I'm sure. Anyway, that's in February. Love solo travel and solo travellers on so many levels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelMagnolia9 Posted July 23, 2018 #2697 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Made final payment on an October cruise on Serenade of the Seas to Bermuda from Boston. First time to Bermuda, it’s been on my travel list for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croozbabe Posted July 23, 2018 #2698 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Bermuda is beautiful! But it won't be warm enough to go to the beach in October, most likely, because it is not in the Caribbean. There is also a possibility of a hurricane at that time. Bermuda is in the mid-Atlantic at the same latitude or longitude as North Carolina. Enjoy your cruise!

And if you are prone to sea sickness please take precautions. I was on a Bermuda cruise two years ago and as we were sailing from Bermuda back to NJ there were 30 ft waves and the boat was really rocking. The Captain wouldn't let people outside at all and it was miserable. I was in bed all day so not fun. Come to find out that it is quite common for the Atlantic Ocean to be this way. I had never sailed in the Atlantic before just in the Caribbean so I didn't know. Lesson learned so I thought I would pass it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
