How do you find the best solo rates?

[KPfromCT]

Looking at doing my first solo cruise and I'm looking for all the experts on how to find the best rate. Thank you in advance. [emoji4]

I get email from vacations to go (I don't think I can actually put in the link) and when I go up to the website, there is a column on the left, that lets me look for Singles discounts. When you click on this link, you will get a large spreadsheet type table that lists out all of the cruises they know that are offering singles discounts. On the far right, you will see the percentage of the up charge that you pay. The name of the site is pretty much the same as what I put up above. I haven't actually booked through them, but they've been a good source of information.

Cruise plum, although they don't show Carnival as an options because they never have zero supplement(meaning you just pay for one as in 100%). They used to two years ago, now you can sometimes find 150% supplement on very few select sailings that sail within a month or two. NCL seems to attract solos now, you can find sailing where you pay 100%(as in no single supplement fee.) This year I had seen so many sailings on NCL where I didn't have to pay any single supplement fee, I was able to go on 2 7 day cruises.

Look at goccldotcom and click on the solo link in the specials box, check V2G for solo/singles rates, and compare NCL studio rates on their newer ships for value.

 

I cruise solo 75% of the time and just don't touch those sites that still offer to find you a cabin mate, I'd rather have my own and not share with a stranger.

 

Sometimes the Carnival casino rates are very affordable too.

I check the website daily. The last true no supplement sailing I nabbed was in February of this year.

The ones people posted here (VTG, goccl) are the ones I look for most, plus dont forget Cruise Critic's solo cruiser forum, their is a low/no solo supplement thread where folks post the deals they see or got.

Carnival has dropped off with specials:mad: NCL has recently been offering Spirit out of Canaveral, and this surprises me. The rest of offerings on that site are for high end cruise lines.
