Solo Cruiser's Roll Call

[Rag2]

Going on my first solo cruise on Mariner of the Seas, 09/11/22 - 09/19/22 to Bermuda! I’m excited to indulge on myself with my first massage, facial, and acupuncture treatments! What I’m nervous about is dining, I’m scheduled for early dining at the MDR. On Royal Caribbean are solo passengers seated with other families, with other solos, or by themselves? Are we giving a choice? Anyone else solo cruising on this itinerary?

I will be on the Celebrity Constellation for the October 22 15-day Transatlantic Rome to Tampa. This will be my 3rd solo cruise (though one was on a chartered cruise that had a bunch of friends on it).

Going on my first solo cruise in December on the Island Princess.  This cruise is 14 nights long and will be over holiday.  Hope I enjoy it be my first cruise since my husband passed.

My first solo cruise is coming up May 2023 - Honolulu to Vancouver BC.

So I booked a cruise for the end of Nov. 
Some years ago my dh and I met another couple on the cruise and stayed in touch with them on FB.  Turns out the woman and her g/f are traveling the same time.  Even said I could/should hang with them, so last night i/o booking the sail away club balcony, I went with a regular balcony which is super close to their cabin.   I'm happy that I'm near someone I know, just in case.  Feeling much better about this cruise now.  Only 90 more days!  lol

Thanks to an amazing sale and no solo supplement a couple of months ago...I will be on the Celebrity Millennium for three southern Caribbean cruises Feb 11, 18, and 25 out of San Juan.

 

This will be my first solo cruise, but I travel solo often (am travelling solo in Quebec right now.).

 

Any other solos here on this cruise yet? So far the roll call is all couples and large groups. And it was pointed out that the first one is a Valentine's Day cruise. Yikes! I never thought of that. Won't be going to the MDR that night. 🙂

I booked a solo cruise for November. 
I hope I find someone else who's solo so I can treat them to a specialty dinner.

NCL Joy, Nov. 26.  Quickie to Bermuda.  I have 3 specialty restaurants I want to share.

Did you check the Roll Call for that cruise?  If there isn't a Roll Call for that cruise, you could start one.  I'm sure that someone would be glad to go with you.

I on the CC roll call and two on FB.  lol

I'll be sure to go to the solo meets when on board.  All dead threads. 

Before Covid roll calls were hopping.

I think I’m doing my first solo cruise sept 11, 7 nights, Alaska from Seattle and back on HAL. 
 

My husband has been slammed at work short handed so he can’t go and I’m miserable sitting at home alone, so I think I’m going to do it. I’m waiting for 2 friends to decide if they want to go or not and then I’ll book. 
 

I’d prefer a roommate, but I’m completely ok by myself. A balcony is about $649 a person. So with that x2 plus port charges and fees, I guess it will be about $1500? Not bad I think for Alaska and HAL. I’m waiting for the planner to get back to me with a price.

Anyone else on this sailing in a single balcony? I'm looking forward to seeing this tiny room 🙂

[Mrs. H.]

So I just returned from a solo land trip to Orlando.  My g/f and her b/f drove up 2 hours to come visit me for lunch. Saw SIL, BIL and NIL. Niece took me to Univeral.  Now looking forward to my trip to TN next month where my cousin will show me around and my solo cruise in 75 days.  Nice to be making wonderful new memories.

I did a solo on the Jade to Greece and loved it!

[grobma]

First solo cruise booked. NCL Getaway to the Bahamas out of NYC for Christmas week. I hate traveling that week, but I can walk to the pier from home, so bonus!

I don’t know what to say. I booked a cruise for November 26, 7-day to Mexico from LA on Celebrity Solstice. Just me. I was too mad not to, too sad not to. My husband died last year and I am tired of staring at the walls. We loved to cruise. I still do. I don’t know if I’m going to meet people or talk to folks or make friends or why I am doing this. I’m not even getting off the boat, I just need to watch the water go bye.

[MPHennessy]

@Seniorsailors I'm sure it will do you good and help you.
