Considering it with the price drop but 12 days solo (inside cabin) I'm unsure... If I may suggest something - include cruise line or ship when asking these kinds of questions. Knowing what lines sail out of that home port (Cape Liberty) I was able to deduce which sites to look at, but it took some searching to find that cruise as I had the wrong line initially.

It is going to be a 23 cruise but one that we had planned prior to covid in 2020. This sailing has been rebooked 3 times and will fulfill a promise I made to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband just passed in April. We had many cruise booked but were all canceled due to Covid and then him being ill. Is the cruise 23 days?

luvs2beachit Posted June 7, 2022 #3888 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Sadly, I am also in the same situation. I lost my husband at the beginning of this year. We loved cruising and had been on many over the past 20+ years. We had a bucket list of places we still wanted to go as well as places we wanted to revisit but because of his illness and Covid we had to stop traveling about 5 yrs ago. My goal is to try and to cross off a few of those dreams from our bucket list. So far because of the current great prices I have booked a return trip to Canada / New England for this Sept. and a B2B in April of 23 to cross off 2 new items with a B2B of a full Panama Canal transit followed by a 7 day Alaska cruise. These will be my first solo cruises so a whole new experience. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your spouses.

We also cruised alot sometimes 3 or 4 times a year. Where on Long Island do you live? I am also on Long Island. I'm trying to get enough courage to book a solo cruise. You will love the Panama canal cruise and especially the Alaskan cruise. Please let me know how you make out going solo. Jill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvs2beachit Posted June 8, 2022 #3890 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Hi Jill, Thank you for your condolences. It seems we are both in the same boat, so to speak, trying to navigate new territory. Well, maybe not new territory but rather old territory from a different direction. I live on the south shore Plainedge/ Seaford area. Where are you located? I can certainly identify with your trying to get the courage to make the call because it was the same for me. When I finally made the decision to book I was a bit surprised how ok I felt afterward. Edited June 8, 2022 by luvs2beachit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to make a different call than you as I had to call to remove my husband from our reservation for the QM2 in August. It was hard to keep from canceling the whole cruise but when I make a promise I always keep my promises. Hope you enjoy your cruise and there are many more cruises in your future.

I know just what you mean. I have a cruise planned in January with my sister & brother inlaw booked a few years ago and I had to remove my husbands name from the reservation also. Very sad.

jimdee3636 Posted June 10, 2022 #3897 Share Posted June 10, 2022 @Ethereal Cruiser In addition to reading, and posting on, this Solo Cruisers board, you should also look at the boards for the specific cruise lines you're most interested in. If, for example, you're interested in Holland America (HAL), there are always (if you scroll back in time) threads on the HAL board with a title like "What is it like to cruise solo on an HAL ship?" I've only cruised solo on Princess (three times) and NCL (once), but I've taken cruises with my wife on five or six other lines---mostly on Cunard, Silversea, HAL, and Oceania. The only one that, from my observations onboard, is not good for solo cruisers is Oceania. It's way more "couples oriented" than the others. (Of course, others may disagree, which is why reading a range of opinions on these boards is a good idea). Have fun! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruising sister Posted June 12, 2022 #3898 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Recent widow, DH died in March. I had to take him off 3 cruises. My sister is going with me on June 25th Infinity cruise and I will do my first solo on September17th on Celebrity Equinox. We had lots of FCC to use up and Celebrity has been great about transferring to me and let me use some for my sister. Has anyone organized a solo cruise? It would be nice to help all of recent solo’s get the courage to go it on our own. Some days I feel brave and others not so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prometheus1 Posted June 13, 2022 #3900 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Just booked Celebrity Apex, April 13, 2024. Long way from now but looking forward to it. After reading some of the posts regarding solo rooms vs non solo, decided on a regular room with verandah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
