Please tell the best cruise line for hookups 🤣

when I was younger and just started cruising in the 80's, I booked with Single World and shared a cabin with another girl who I didn't know. I always lucked up and got a great cabin mate

Great tip. Make sure you have bit of space to make sure fully covered.

Thanks for the warning

I have been thinking of going on a solo cruise, but I hate to pay for two people, and I won't stay in an inside cabin. Must be at least a balcony. I'm still thinking! Thanks for the tios.

We're still married and travel everywhere together, especially since we are both recently retired.

Princess may be an excellent cruise line but not for solo travelers as far as pricing goes.

I only sail solo and prefer eating alone. I book a balcony and just watch for deals. My first Viking cruise was 33 days at a huge discount. I used to sail NCL but I have two more Viking cruises booked. Don’t rule anything out without watching prices.

Would have never guessed Virgin for solo since its marketing is aimed ay young horny couples and being solo might feel ackward. That is the image I have anyways.

I have a solo Trans Atlantic cruise planned on Princess for next year. I got a fabulous price but airfare back to the states is high.

Great seeing you in PR! We were on Adventure.

Good to know

My first of only two cruises so far was on The NCL Escape. Maybe I cruused at the wrong time of year at the rnd of July as i paid about 80 percent supplement so I don't think the Solo cabins are such a great deal. BTW, I'm sure you know there are now Ocean and Balcony Solo Cabins as part of the Solo Cabin Lounge area. I also don't appreciate them automatically including the xrink package. Its not free. You paying for it one way or the other. I did however love dining with the other Solo Cruisers. It was a game changer for this introvert. I really do think i would enjoy Princess. It seems to be your favorite. It looks so elegant. The Food, Shows, and bedding seem like a plus.

MSC has the best solo rates hands down! Even with the tiny solo cabins on NCL, their prices aren't as cheap as MSC! Celebrity has the worst solo rates since they added a FEE on top of the double occupancy!

My 6+ cruises have all been solo on NCL, RCL and Carnival My last cruise, last month on NCL, was my favorite of the lot but i have always enjoyed myself. Granted, i am an introvert and not picky, so I probably am not a good example for some others... My requirements include a safe and clean ship, friendly and accommodating staff and interesting excursions. With one exception, my requirements have been met on NCL.

How about MSC?

Going on my 6th NCL cruise as a solo this fall. I’ve never stayed in the designated solo cabin, I’ve heard from others they don’t like the tiny room and there is never anyone in the designated solo only area. I go on NCL because of their solo meetups. I’ve met so many other solos, if you have a good cruise person running the meetup they bring a trivia game or other activities to get us mixing and laughing. Then they arrange for group tables in the main dinning rooms. Or I make arrangements with other solos to do specialty dinning. Often after dinner we go to the theatre or other events together. On NCL’s smaller ships, especially the cruises that run more than 7 days, you start to see other solo cruisers you have met around the ship or on excursions. NCL removes the port fees and taxes for a second person, so even booking an inside cabin I find their prices better for solos than other cruises. Also with their $50 excursion discount per room and my 10% because I’m already Platinum, I go on some excursions for free or a minimal amount. I always ask to have my cabin made up with twin beds, that gives me so much middle space and a bed to open my suitcase on or lay out clothes on. Because of the price and the fun I’ve had on NCL, it’s hard for me too think about another cruise line. And I did try Royal and Holland America a few years ago. I feel most of the cruise industry is still geared to couples, or solos if you have a big budget. I’m sad about that, so I’m glad NCL is still making it fun for me to cruise. Oh, and join Cruise Critic message boards or look up your cruise on Facebook. Connecting with others ahead of time makes it even easier to plan and meet other solos once you are on the ship.

Good to know.

I am with you Don. I am just comfortable with Princess environment. Before prices started going up so much, you could even find rooms on older ships that had much less than 100% supplement. I actually got 2 back to back cruises that were a negative supplement. A rare find, but I sure enjoyed it.

My 2 cruises have both been solo on Princess. Loved everything about them and plan to continue booking on Princess. Everything you said is true: fine food and entertainment; great vibe; happy and pleasant fellow passengers. Also, P has great itineraries, port times, etc. All top notch.

The more you can inform them about your special needs the better ⚓️

Common sense would be nice. Some people ⚓️

It would be nice if they required insurance and sold it themselves ⚓️

Thanks for all the info on solo cruises.

Thanks for the warning, there are some people that would fall for that ⚓️

We seem to get basic? The cheapest insurance possible. My wife handles that ⚓️

Agree

I would love to cruise solo. Unfortunately my wife does not like that idea ⚓️

Thank you for the warning. Scammers everywhere.

Wassup I'm doing solo cruise in September

Ama Waterways has 1.25 or 1.5 solo supplements most cruises, Ive done 6 and loved them

Ncl cabins are so small

What is the name of the cruise line??? Huntington?????

Galapagos as single might work .

Thanks for the interesting info!

Great for solo cruisers on Norwegian. I love it.

Regent has solo cruises and a cruise director too!

I would not call Princess a premier line. We have been on Sky Princess and lots of problems with dining, lack of seating areas inside for bad weather and generally a crowded ship. That was soon after covid as well, so ship was far from full. Our first and last Princess cruise.

We cruise "solo" meaning if the single supplement isn't much(hard to find but it's out there) my husband and I get inside single rooms. He's a night owl and I'm up at 3 or 4 am. Works out nicely. We don't mind an inside but not with 2 in the room

I don't know whether Costa still does this but years ago, Costa used to sit these single sailing sailors at the same table. I don't know whether they do it anymore, but it was wonderful.

Other than my first cruise in 2003, which was with a professional group, I have always cruised solo. I have sailed on RCL, Celebrity, Azamara and Avalon. I have another Celebrity cruise coming up this fall and in 2025 I have booked a port intensive Mediterranean cruise on NCL in a solo studio. Working with a travel agent I have usually gotten good deals, for example, on Avalon I got on one of their cruises that had no single supplement. I actually met another solo cruiser on that ship who had paid double by booking on Vacations to Go! So your travel agent’s expertise can make all the difference. I usually like a balcony, especially for a cruise with many sea days, but I’m willing to give NCL’s solo studio a try on a cruise where I won’t be spending much time in my cabin. It’s all part of the adventure.

I only solo travel, 20 years. Works for me! Doing Azamara in 4 weeks! I have a balcony ( I have always preferred and paid for this) I am worth every cent!

I went to Antartica with Hurtigruden as a solo traveler. They did a wonderful job, and at a price I could afford. With the limit on passengers in Antartica, the Midnastol had extra rooms anyway.

Just got back from Allure of the Seas. I couldn’t find quiet place . Loud music everywhere! I like this about Princess they keep,the volume down!I think Don will be going to the Galopolas islands on his next cruise

All cruises need to adopt this on their ships for single passengers

Norwegian leads the way in solo cabins, but they can't handle solos when it comes to dining. On my last cruise with them, I ate alone for every meal. Of course, I also went through that on Royal Caribbean for a few years after restart, which, on one cruise, got worse. They not only wanted me to specify the same time, but wanted to put me in the same section. One night I was told it would be about 10 minutes for a table, and 45 minutes later (15 minutes before closed) I still hadn't been seated. It was the worst of all worlds. After some rocky stuff with Royal Caribbean, I returned to Princess this year for New Zealand and loved it. I'm still a bit younger than their main target, but I had a fabulous time and have booked them next year for Iceland and Greenland. The only line I currently think compares to Princess in terms of having a mess of activities I like is Disney. I did a four day one and loved it. Multiple trivias, smaller scale game shows but more often (notably Majority Rules), learn to draw... all kinds of stuff I liked. I was impressed enough I booked them for Alaska this year (after I canceled a booking to Egypt and the Holy Land; ahead of the curve on that one. After it went to hell I figured there was no way they'd sail to Israeli ports this year, so I got out, and, sure enough, a few weeks later they changed the ports). I think this seven day cruise will get me a better feel for if Disney will be on my shortlist going forward.

Good lines for Antarctica.

Not sure I would cruise solo. I would be more likely to do a land vacay.

I travel solo, my husband is a homebody.
