WashingtonCruiserDC Posted December 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I sail out of Baltimore and favor Royal Caribbean. I'm looking for a group that discusses finding a another cruiser to share the cabin so as to avoid the single supplement penalty. Thank you.

runner15km Posted December 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Not allowed on this site to look for a cabin mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WashingtonCruiserDC Posted December 13, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I guess that's one way to answer my question of whether there's a group or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaveitallbehind Posted December 13, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 13, 2023 It can be difficult to find strangers willing to share a stateroom on a cruise, and this site will not offer any assistance. Have you considered local organizations such as a church or other community organization where there may be people of common interest who also may not be complete strangers? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than seeing it as a negative, look at a daily cost. What would you spend per night on a land vaca? Including hotel, food and entertainment? I set a rate per night I’m willing to pay, and stick to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted December 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Booking a cabin with a stranger might save money - but you should stop to think of all the potential problems. It would be far better to find someone locally - through work associates, possibly through a local fraternal organization or church - so you would have a chance to get to know someone before committing yourself to share a 100 or so square foot cabin and small bathroom for a week with a total stranger. If nothing else try one of those “meeting people” ads in a local paper - get to know someone BEFORE locking yourself up with him/her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kristelle Posted December 13, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 13, 2023 This doesn't directly answer your question, but just letting you know, if you didn't already, there is a sub forum under " special interest cruising" that is Solo Cruising. Might answer other questions you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyjones Posted December 13, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 13, 2023 And one point to consider - if you end up sharing a cabin with a stranger, there is only one safe. How will you both safeguard your valuables? You'd trust your passport, credit card info and cash with a stranger? I sail solo and, as above, I look at the daily cost, not the solo supplement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
