Post CRUISE LINE Single Supplement/Solo Bargains HERE

[bones774]

Pretty sure you will get your points, some cruises they give double points but with a sailaway rate you would not get 2x, maybe that's what was meant

Have been trying to find solo cabins  and it is a bit overwhelming  

 

it it doesn’t help that/I am not sure where to go except the areas that will be=new to me are a ver long plane ride, but I would still like to travel for a few more years and so am just doing research that to see what is available 

 

am am hoping I can pick up some=information from folks on this thread

Less of a deal and more of a hint I’m going to just drop/hide in this thread. Hopefully it won’t be exploited too much, and if it does, hopefully NCL finally fixes it. 

 

On Escape, the starboard entry door to the Studios on deck 11 sticks about 75% of the time and doesn’t lock, so other solos could maybe wander in for some coffee and cookies, or just to chat with other solos. The door only locks if you intentionally pull/push it closed all the way. I’ve noticed this on three separate trips now.

 

If you do choose to take advantage of this, I strongly suggest you be discreet about it, don’t bring your whole family in there for breakfast, and don’t brag about it. 

 

(I’ll also understand if someone reads this and chooses to report it to maintenance now that I’ve posted it. But it’s been years now and it still sticks, so ...)

I’ve noticed similar on Breakaway...in fact, in the morning around 0900 give or take, they often prop open a door while the crew is cleaning/restocking for a half hour or so...😉

Why don't we just consider this a positive and drop the subject.

There is a good price on the noordam leaving sept 22 from vancouver to alaska. I found it in canadian currency on holland america website so i suppose it could be a special for canadians, but doubtful.

When I searched, it is a Vancouver return. What is interesting is the Ocean View (obstructed) is cheaper than an Inside and Verandah is slightly more than an inside.  However, with tax it is still close to $1500 CDN.  Is that a good price?  Perhaps for HAL.

[latebuyer]

When i had looked it was 1250 for an inside. Maybe that was a temporary deal.

Possibly pre tax?  Right now it is $1574.40 Cdn. tax in for an inside.  For that price, I'll take the Veranda at $1600.

If you all are looking for longer and off-the-beaten-path cruises, Seabourn has 125% solo prices on about 30 cruises for this year and next.  They will also do upgrades and included wifi with those.  They are an all-inclusive line.

I have just come onto this forum for the first time.  I will be following this thread and am much appreciative of the cruiseplum link.  It will be very helpful for future bookings.  I already have 4 cruises booked, 3 of which were booked with my late wife.  So it might be a while  before I have time to fit in another, but will be watching.  Thanks so much for the tips.

I see we have had several posts deleted.  Perhaps another reason why postings here have slowed down considerably.  What a shame.

Hey Kim.

Some seem to think that hints of agents or sales websites will go undetected. Hosts aren't that stupid.  I am surprised that the post above you is still alive given that there is an offending quote.  I know we are trying to help other travelers get the best details or information, but we know the rules and regs.  

I think the slow down on this thread is due to fewer 'deals'.  I just don't seem to see the ones I was grabbing up last year....but early days. Late August last year provided Alaska, Bermuda and repositioning deals - like our Dawn cruise. Happy sailings.
