Hi everyone.  Which Carnival ships have single passenger cabins?  I sometimes sail without my wife and often room with my sisters and their husbands.  It would be nice to have a list of ships which have cabins that were just for one person without having to pay for two people to have a cabin.  Thank you

I did 2 solo cruises on Carnival in May & June of 2022 with very low or no solo up charge rates, but the I have only gotten a few good solo offers since then. Most of the solo rates now require you to pay the price for two people. If you travel solo often, MSC has some great solo rates currently, with most only having a 30% or less surcharge for solo guests.

Those really aren't "Solo" rates, just cheap rates on Carnival.  It would be the same cruise fare if two sailed.

On most, but not all, at least for me. When I change the number of passengers from 2 to 1 on my email offers, it doesn’t double on the first few sometimes. I got one yesterday for a 4 day from Jacksonville that was $ 119 pp for 2 or $ 128 for 1.  I went on the Ecstasy for 5 nights in June for $ 70 solo and the price for 2 was $ 60 pp.

I just got off a solo on the Valor. My rate was a single rate, note it was a Casino offer. 5 day cruise and I paid just over $300. It depends on the offer. I had a inside A1 cabin that actually can sleep 3. A1 cabins are probably your best bet to getting a single rate. I haven't heard of anyone getting single rate that wasn't in an inside room.

That's not correct. I've gotten the same offers before but very rarely. Recently, it was 125.00 pp for 5 days on the Breeze. So two people would have been 250.00. I just put in my self and it was only 125.00 plus taxes/fees. I tried both ways and then booked it as a solo. It was a 1A upper/lower rooms set up. Every time I've seen the offer it's been for that sort of room.

Glory has at least 2 single rooms (at least they did in August!) Very small room with a porthole, but listed as inside. Twin bed, no bunk. It popped up when my husband was trying to book a single room.

I just got off the sunshine with a 1a porthole cabin. Room is big about the same size as an Oceanview or balcony. A little bigger then regular insides

I was able to book a cabin on "cyber Monday" back in November which offered half off for second passenger.  So I booked a balcony cabin for myself for the price of 1 1/2 fares, plus taxes and port fees etc.  Saved a few hundred dollars by booking during that promotion.  Many different cabin categories and sailings were available - they were selling fast and some people complained on here and on other boards of not being able to book.

I'm confused why I was tagged? This offer isn't a single rate. It's per 2 guests and a Casino offer. You have to go through the booking to see the actual rate.

I'm sorry but I'm still confused as to why you keep quoting me with no context other than pictures?

For anyone who's curious this was a solo rate on Carnival I received about a year and a half ago. The rate pp was 125.00 for five days image.thumb.jpeg.1a34bba5054ea6a8ed161d859e64f65f.jpeg711470761_BreezeAugust2.thumb.jpg.f4cfd61fb43c7fd1987214a0990bf0de.jpgand you can see from the total I paid 125.00 plus taxes/fees/tips for just one person. It was a 1A upper/lower. These fares are rare but they do happen.

If there was no bunk, then the sofa would be the second bed.
