I think I have bought the "matching" pink/green/purple/etc $10 scarf, which I put over the chair to hold my spot - so bright, you can't miss it.....😁 (It takes up very little room in the luggage, too)

Also, the cinnamon buns in the Lido at breakfast were wonderful - I saved a few every day for my afternoon snack......😁

Here's another vote for the wienerschnitzel - had it on Noordam in MDR, absolutely delicious!

Lots of wonderful advice has already been shared above - this is what works for me: I carry a book (or e-reader) and/or my needlework everywhere when cruising solo - everyone interested in either will stop by and chat, whether it's in the theatre waiting for a show, the buffet, on deck, or anywhere I find a nice spot to settle in. (They want to know what you're reading, what you're making, etc.) I'm quite shy so having other people initiate the conversation really helps me out - I have met so many nice people! Best wishes to you, enjoy your cruise!
