The referenced article appears to be combining two different sets of info, one outdated and the other current: That program matching up solo travelers seems to be from over a decade ago and no longer in use. The three Pinnacle-class HAL ships (built 2016 and later) have single-occupancy ocean view cabins. They're all the way forward on Main (deck 1) under the theater. Based on the photos they're well designed for a solo traveler and look airy & spacious, with a big picture window to bring in natural light and what looks like the same bed found in "regular" cabins. The location could be noisy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallux Posted July 28, 2021 #3682 Share Posted July 28, 2021 @VOYOV check with your cruise line. Some are accepting only vaccinations authorized by the US CDC/FDA. Additionally some are not accepting if mixed dosages (Pfizer for first dose, Moderna for second as an example) are used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare geoherb Posted July 31, 2021 #3685 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I booked the Majestic Princess to Alaska for 8/22/21 this week. The single supplement was running 50% more than the per person double occupancy fare--but my travel agent offered it at 33% more plus a little bit of OBC. It's my first cruise since December 2019. I did three solo cruises that year plus one with DH. He's decided, though, not to take any more cruises while his mother is still alive. (She's 94.) He's an only child and doesn't want to be away if she has any health emergencies. I sort of understand. When my mother was still alive, I always coordinated our vacations with my brother so that one of us would be in town for her if she needed us. There's a great live thread from the first cruise back of the Majestic Princess happening this week. Reading it is one of the things that influenced me to book this cruise.

Geoherb: If you think of it, please post your impressions of the Majestic after you get home. I'm on the ship in early October, once it repositions to L.A. Like you, I'm married but sailing solo.

Yes exactly pretty incredible prices now. I actually want to book for January which will cost $551 for a 7 days cruise for a balcony but not sure if I should do it now or onboard. Someone mentioned you get onboard credit if you book onboard. Since you are going sooner please let know if they have a solo meet and greet on a daily. Someone mentioned that they didn't see it on their August 2nd cruise. Edited August 9, 2021 by cruiseelady 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get OBC if you book your next cruise onboard. I'm on the roll call for the Aug 27th cruise but I don't remember seeing anything about a meet & greet. @GA Dave, have you seen whether our cruise will have a M&G? I may attempt to do a LIVE review of these cruises. Stay tuned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go to that one. I will ask the say on the Facebook roll call for September 25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have mentioned it earlier in the thread but I think this is a GREAT idea. This was organized for my April 2019 cruise on NCL, planned a time and place to meet for lunch on embarkation day and it was a GREAT ice-breaker. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will review the dailies people are posting on FB and see if it lists anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
