Shadygap Posted December 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2018 It is a short 4 day Carnival cruise in March. It will be my 3rd cruise overall. I've done with one with NCL and one with Carnival. I know that Norwegian caters more to solo cruisers but I just took a cruise with friends in October. I"m really anxious to go on alone and this is all my budget will allow. But then I'm saving for aa solo cruise on Norwegian. I'm 58 years old and I have traveled cross country to visit my daughter and grandson and I have traveled cross country to take trainings, but I have never taken a vacation like this alone. The last cruise I did have my own cabin and I loved it! I did a lot of my own things and met up with my friends at dinner. Dinner is what worries me a little. I did have any time dining but changed it to late dining hoping to get seated with others and possibly other solo cruisers. I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Late or Early dining you'll be dining with the same people all cruise long which can be good or can be bad depending on the people, for Any Time you might get different folks each night. All that having been said I highly recommend dining with strangers, it's generally a great experience... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserEK Posted December 26, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I just came back last week from taking my first solo cruise. I admit I was a bit nervous myself eating alone on the first night. By the second night I felt fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
