sea777guy Posted August 16, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Doing my first cruise alone on the Ryndam the end of November. Just wondering what to expect as a single guy alone on his first cruise. Also, does HAL still offer the drink cards? If so, how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flag fan Posted August 16, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2009 You might want to check out the "single" and "solo" threads in the Special Interest section. (Singles are unmarried people (available?) and solos are persons traveling alone (not necessarily single).) I travel solo and was somewhat put off when checking in because everyone else seemed to be in couples or groups; that's not really the case, although solos are a small percentage of cruisers. Once on board you get to just do what you want, when you want. I think HAL does have a singles/solos get-together early in the cruise, but I'm not sure what they are like (my first cruise on HAL is later this year and I haven't been to such events on other lines). If you are concerned about not having someone to talk to, sign up for traditional dining--which means that you will have a set table for dinner every night at the same time and with the same tablemates; it's a good way to get to know some fellow travelers. On the other hand, if you are out-going and don't have trouble meeting people, you might want open dining, in which case you can meet new people every night or can dine alone. Have a great cruise.
