Last minute cruise

[seaandsea]

I just retired, and now I can cruise anytime. My husband has a few years left to work, so I will be traveling single and need to find good prices. I know there are deals to be had, after final payment, I just don't know how to find them. Any suggestions?

Try looking at the weekly sales flyer here: http://www.creative.rccl.com/sales/royal/Multi_Dest/Special_Offers/rci_sales_event.pdf

 

This PDF usually changes every Thursday afternoon. Check towards the bottom of each page where it lists the Single Supplement. Those cruises listed with less than 200% will be better deals for solo cruisers.

Have fun! I have a few websites as well as the cruise websites that send me deals all the time. Its easy to sign up for email deals.

Look under the deals on cruiseplum.

Does it have to be last minute? I find year in advance is often best pricing.

Just search all cruises on Royal's website. I just noticed some great deals on 6 day freedom cruises next December.

That maybe fine for you, as a retiree I don't buy green bananas, let alone book a cruise a year in advance.

You may have better luck booking double occupancy, even using your husbands information, or you can enter a fake name, date of birth and all. When you’re paying for single occupancy, you pay 200% of the cruise fare. So, it could be less expensive to book double occupancy and never have the second passenger show up. After final payment is made, tell the cruise line that they cannot go anymore, and they’ll refund the port fees on that 2nd passenger. Just don’t complete online check in for that “passenger” [emoji5]

Do that at the pier lest RCI screw up the reservation or you find someone at the last minute to go.

My parents are the oppisite. They are always saying well now I will have to live long enough to... That maybe part of the reason I plan vacations so far out for them.

Is single supplement more that booking 2 people?

It should never be more than booking two people, but sometimes the website messes up and shows it that way. It can be corrected by calling.

Sometimes.

The GTY Z, Y and X rates are typically not available for singles so in those cases if one were to book single, the cheapest cabin would be more than for two people.
