Post CRUISE LINE Single Supplement/Solo Bargains HERE

[alanstarr]

As others have mentioned, solo cruises out of Europe this fall are crazy cheap. Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I'm looking at a 10-day NCL out of Athens on Nov. 14th; I can book a solo balcony with 'free at sea' (open bar, specialty dining, wifi, etc) for $1921 all in. Stops include Israel, Greece and Turkey, sounds amazing!

NCL Epic November 21. 15 night sailing from Rome to NYC. A studio room with all the perks included is at $1421. That's with the drinks package, 5 nights specialty dining, 500 minutes internet, etc. and gratuities on the packages included. Some nice ports too. I'm tempted. You do have to book your own airfare to Rome.

This deal is available directly from the cruise line but you may need to call them to actually book.  I was able to obtain solo pricing online but payment for deposit would not process.

Studio?  Thought NCL was only cruise line that had studios

Royal has just a few on select ships.  You don't get double points for a studio like you do for booking solo in a double occupancy room.  And there is no "Solo Lounge" to go with it -- it's just a smaller room in a random part of the ship.

Oddly enough, the few times I've been on a ship that had one available, they were more expensive than a regular inside booked with the Single Supplement.

10.25.21 mariner 5d balcony only $337 solo with D+ discount 

[geoherb]

I've been tracking prices of several Princess cruises for December. I noticed tonight that the single supplement is now lower on a lot of them. It was previously 100 percent. Now there are several cruises with single supplements from 38 to 48 percent. (Some cruises for the weeks I'm considering, unfortunately, still have 100 percent single supplements.)

Thank you. I have not sailed with them yet so I am not familiar with their terms.

Some of the balcony solos look nice  though.  I think they just cut out the area with the couch

Mariner is a Royal Caribbean ship name *(see my signature) and Diamond Plus is status with Royal Caribbean.   So I believe the D+ discount is only available to people who have reached that tier of their loyalty program

Yes, if you're a balcony person. 

I never go on a balcony (I like shade and a nearby hot tub, pool, and bar/waiter), so it's a waste for someone like me. In my case, the inside room with the extra Crown & Anchor point works best.

I originally booked this probably six or so months ago, an inside for over $600.  Price has dropped several times, so I'm now in a XB with my Diamond discount.  Come join our Roll Call!

I thought I included the link to the Roll Call when I posted, but it looks like it didn't attach, so I'll repost it here:

The Jewel of the Seas is also very cheap for The February 6th sailing. 440 I believe was a balcony. I booked but am not solo so I have lost the exact number. But good deals in all categories.

[CruiseScrooge]

MSC Meraviglia in march 7 nights

$257 plus $150 port charge. fantastica class, easy + drinks, wifi package, outside high up mid ship cabin i picked

$50 onboard credit

being a past passenger helped

msc did massive screwups reservation wise dumping people who booked long ago into gty just before i booked.

i won't be surprised or unhappy if they move me to a lousy cabin since i may have unknowingly taken someone's cabin.

i'd love to be offered a deal to downgrade to inside.

If anyone can drop everything and fly to Greece....here's a great solo deal for you!
$599 + taxes and port fees Inside OR Oceanview room on an 11 day Mediterranean NCL cruise!
Wed Nov 24 - Sun Dec 5

[niknot]

If anyone is interested in Hurtigruten, they have a number of offerings that do not have a solo supplement added. I believe it is a part of their Black Friday sale.

Low single supplements on Princess cruises to Mexico or Caribbean from November through January.

Low single supplements on Princess cruises to Mexico or Caribbean from November through January.

The e-mail I got two days ago from my Princess cruise consultant said that the single supplement on "select" Mexican Riviera and Caribbean cruises through the end of January, 2022 is  now ZERO. I checked a few Caribbean ones in January, and they all came through with the zero supplement. One example; a balcony cabin on the Sky Princess for a 7-night Eastern Caribbean sailing on January 22 is $956 for one person, plus $150 taxes and port charges---about $158 per day in all. Even if you throw in gratuities and a beverage package you've got a balcony to yourself for under $250 a day.

 

If you don't mind being on an older ship, a similar 7-night Jan. 9 sailing on the Caribbean Princess is $736 for a solo balcony, plus $155 taxes and port charges---$127 a day.

 

Pretty good deals, in my opinion.
