Again, as a technical writer, I find this amusing. Does anyone else?

Not exactly the same, but on the mobile version of their site, it is possible to specify one guest on the search criteria. I didn't see that available on the desktop version of their web site.

I also look first at price per night. (As a technical writer, I notice that cruise lines can include embarkation and disembarkation in the number of days. I believe number of nights is more accurate and relevant. 😉 ) Usually, an attractive price per night reflects a low or zero solo supplement. I, too, use USD 100 / night including taxes and port fees as a sort of guideline that I might consider breaking depending on the itinerary and season. However, in general, I naturally avoid itineraries / seasons that drive the price up. For example, I'm booked on a 16-night repositioning cruise from Barcelona to Kiel, Germany, on Costa Firenze, May 3-19, 2023. Euro 999 in an outside cabin. Not just any outside cabin. This outside cabin, 11203. During my research, I came across an eight-night cruise on MSC Poesia from Barcelona to Warnemunde with a base inside guarantee cabin, double occupancy price of USD 119. Solo price including taxes and port fees: USD 394 or USD 50 / night. Pretty awesome, if you ask me.

I know this is off-topic, but I thought that some of you might be interested in this. MSC Lirica is sailing from Haifa from April-October, 2022. I'm thinking about the October 20-27 sailing, after Sukkot. IB Inside Guarantee double occupancy USD 559 pp solo occupancy USD 639 Not bad, considering all I have to do is hop on a train to get to the cruise ship...

Probably not relevant to any of you, but just in case: MSC Lirica roundtrip from Haifa, October 20-27, 2022 IB Inside Guarantee double occupancy USD 559 pp solo occupancy USD 639 single supplement ~ 114% It's possible other sailings from Haifa (April-October) have similar low single supplements.
