Whoot, whoot! :D I'm going to say something that may start WW III and get me flamed. We don't want to be alone... wait for it... Because we cannot stand our own company so we look for distractions from others wanting others to entertain us. We would rather eat with people we can't stand then to eat by ourselves. Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife. (Or even a stateroom) :D Ramona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna was always very, polite and was never rude, but afterwards would ask that we be seated somewhere else next time. As I would be sailing solo, I personally wouldn't have a problem making some excuse and getting up during the meal. I could care less what some clueless fellow passenger thinks of me or my manners. To be honest, I'd probably have my meals in the buffet or via room service rather than take the chance of suffering through an uncomfortable hour or more.

Definitely stepping out of my comfort zone; however, excited about what lies ahead. Love the Breakaway. My favourite ship. Does it still have the Fat Cats lounge? If not, how is the new venue? Anyone been on the ship recently? The Breakaway class and NCL are great for solo cruisers. Have a great cruise.

NotThePest_Too Posted September 10, 2018 #2769 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I recall all too well several uncomfortable meals spent by my wife and myself with people who were unlikable or simply loved to hear themselves talk.

To be honest, I'd probably have my meals in the buffet or via room service rather than take the chance of suffering through an uncomfortable hour or more. First cruise ever I went with a group organized by an exercise instructor who has a propensity for arranging group adventures. Traveled solo but with the group of classmates, I found myself with some greedy, bossy, rude, intolerable folks in the MDR:eek: Ten day cruise, I found myself in the Buffet, one night at the specialty restaurant, seven out of the 10. One of the nights at the MDR was one of the two formals. All the other none MDR nights, I was by myself. Ramona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw my first Opera by myself when no one wanted to go with me. I went and had a blast. The person on my right, a woman, only spoke French, the person on my left, also a women, only spoke Italian and I struggle with English. The Opera, The Marriage of Figaro, we had a blast. It was so much fun with my new neighbors. We couldn't communicate verbally, but we communicated with gestures and laughter. Ramona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airlink diva Posted September 16, 2018 #2775 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hi everyone! Sailing on the Carnival Dream, seven days out of New Orleans December 2, 2019. Solo,can't tell you is this My sixth or seventh (maybe more) solo cruise,lost count. Its a combination of late 50th birthday, early Christmas and first true paid vacation since 2013. After my last cruise in 2013 got downsized, unemployed for almost two years,went back to school after being out over 25 years,working two part time jobs to finally having a full time job again with vacation. Enjoying the Chef table and the Steakhouse. Normally do fixed dining and been bless with excellent tablemates. But since four nights with specialty dining, doing your time. Already eyeing cruises for 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
