champagne123 Posted March 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I was just on the Carnival website, booking a cruise for May 4th. One of the parties does not have anyone to share a cabin with. I already told him he would have to pay double occupancy and he was fine with it. WELL....lo and behold. I booked his. SINGLE charge. :eek: I called the 800 number to confirm before finishing the booking process. YUP...single fare. He is now doing the HAPPY DANCE.:):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnival has been removing the solo supplement on certain sailings they are having trouble filling up. They started that late last year. In fact they have a list of available sailings on their website. My cousin and I both booked separate cabins on the Legend in May. Enjoy your cruise!

SkyMaster Posted March 19, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I too, am VERY happy with the NO SINGLE SUPPLEMENT sailings, and have taken advantage of several of them already. ;) I watch very carefully, and when I can, I book. GREAT DEAL IMO! Thanks Carnival! "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdamion Posted March 19, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I get to fly out in 3 weeks thanks to them waiving the single supplement. It has gotten me back on Carnival as I had been using other lines who somewhat reduced the single supplement on sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonoran_cruiser Posted March 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'm taking my first Carnival Cruise in April solo, thanks to the NO SINGLE SUPPLEMENT SALE. Only a 4 dayer out of LB, but at least it's a taste of the Carnival product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean dreams Posted March 20, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 20, 2014 We just picked up 3 singles out of Long Beach for $184pp, it was cheaper to book seperately then 3 in one cabin so now we all have our own cabins..all in a row:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted March 20, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I used to sail with my DD and then she grew up. Of course, just after I started sailing solo, Carnival went from 150% to 200% single supplements. :mad: I had booked a May cruise on Fantasy with 2 friends. Then I saw the Pride had no single supplement so I switched to that (yes, I'm anti-social and I'd rather sail alone :p ). No, really, I'd been wanting to sail Pride but it was expensive and the itineraries were dull, but since this was one that stopped at HMC, I couldn't resist and they wanted to sail out of Charleston, so I switched and they didn't. I also had a casino offer (no, not free, just a discount plus $50 casino cash), so I got a pretty good price. I even upgraded myself to a French Door cabin, which I normally would not do. My problem is I can't really book last minute. My work schedule just doesn't lend itself to spontaneity or I'd be jumping on as many of these as I could. Gotta get to Milestone!

mkbnoc Posted March 20, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Where can you find the list of no solo supplement cruises? Here is a link to the page on the Carnival site. They have been updating it every few weeks so far this year. If the link does not work go to the Carnival website. On top of the home page is a link to Cruise Deals. Then select Exclusive Savings and there is a selection for Solo Cruises. From what I have read from other posters there are a set amount of cabins they will waive the solo supplement so some sailings listed might not still be available. http://www.carnival.com/Content/single-occupancy.aspx?icid=CC_singcd_1942 Mike Edited March 20, 2014 by mkbnoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRFPresident Posted March 20, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 20, 2014 We actually just took advantage of this promotion and booked a last minute get out of the snow getaway for 10 days from now. Dad had been trying to find some little getaway for months during this specific time frame and on a whim, he looked into going solo on a cruise out of here (Baltimore). When he saw that there was no single supplement, we both decided to book our own neighboring cabins for the first time since we started cruising together. This will be my 3rd time on the Pride with the same exact itinerary so I'm really looking forward to a cruise of pure relaxation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct. Once the quota is filled the sailing will return to charging the supplement. I booked the Triumph next month with no supplement but it changed back to 200% about 2 weeks after booking. This list is updated twice a month: https://www.goccl.com/~/media/GOCCL/Files/Sales/SingleOccupancy.ashx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooGirl95 Posted March 20, 2014 #16 Share Posted March 20, 2014 OMG!!! It pays to goof off at work reading Cruise Critic!! LOL! I booked a 7-day cruise on Carnival Pride for March 30-April 6, 2014. When we booked the cruise, I was told that as a single passenger, I would have to pay double. Thus, I paid over $1800 to have a balcony room on the same hallway as my family members. Well after reading your posts, I went on the Carnival website and saw that my sailing had a single supplement sale! I then called Carnival, and they were so great and returned almost $900 of it to me. You all saved me much money and I can't thank you enough! I told the Carnival Operator that probably this money will go back to Carnival anyway... we are going to David's steakhouse, and now I can spend time in the spa!! LOL! Thanks, again, everyone!!

lifeasiseeit Posted March 23, 2014 #18 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Does anyone know when the no supplement list will be updated again? I'm leaving in a week for a cruise, but I want a solo trip. I can usually just up and go, but for all of the sailings I see I have those weeks pretty much booked solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrenalineRush Posted March 24, 2014 #25 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I've only seen them through May. Then they do another list. Thats because june cruises haven't hit penalty phase. I think the op is confusing no single supplement with the current "4 day to sail" promotion that was extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
