So how old are most solo cruisers??

Hey all, so I just found out a couple of days ago that the NCL Epic has solo cabins. Looking to book a Mediterranean cruise sometaime in '13. I'm 31, and was just wondering if there would be other people close to my age. Anyone have any input?

Would say, especially on the Epic you will have other solo cruises your age. Did my first solo cruise when I was 37.

Be sure to join the roll call, that too will give you a general idea of those traveling on the same ship. Although CC members on a cruise are a very small percentage.

I'm sure the age varies with different cruise lines and different itineraries. I get the feeling the Epic has younger solo cruisers than many other lines.

I did the Epic- many 30's-50's and 60's in the Studios. I think it is a great ship to sail on solo

Since 50 is the new 30......It doesn't seem to matter what one's true age in years is anymore.

I've met some 25 year olds who were so tired and boring I couldn't wait to get away from their company. And, then there's the 80 year old gentleman who was parasailing, dancing and sharing stories; he was well groomed, lively and joyful. He had so many wonderful stories to share with everyone. Being around him was pure fun!

50 is the new 30...except if you did it right and are a bit lucky, you have more money and time and less childcare responsibility! Sadly, you also have reading glasses and a few wrinkles. :)

(And I know whereof I speak, as I"m 51!)

Can't answer the OP's question though, as I've never been on the Epic and I have not yet taken my first solo cruise--will be doing the solo cruise in a few months though!

Awww, reading glasses and wrinkles the charms of the aging process. The cure: Lasix and Botox the two "X's" that seem to cure the aforementioned......anything else I can help you with?

I like my company and have even been accused of "chatting-it-up" with myself! I don't mind sharing some of my "me" time with good company......but find it entirely unecessary unless your personality can make me smile......Laughter, now that's what I'm talking about!!!!! :)

Enjoy your cruise. Took my 1st solo cruise at 36(Will be 38 next Thursday.). Been on one more since & have begun the planning stages for 2013 & 2014 cruises (At least one will be on ncl.). Met solos of all ages but it seems that most of the ones I met have been in the 30 - 60 age range.

40 on my first solo cruise, turning 52 during my next one :D

My first solo cruise? I was 45.....now 9 years later I am 54 and still

cruising solo:)

I'm with Roz. I'm not sure age matters, truthfully. It's more about interests and personality. I did my first solo cruise (which definitely won't be my last!) this year at age 42. I am still very active and outdoorsy and like to hike, rock climb, kayak. I found the people willing to hike with me were a couple who are my parents age. Go figure!

But if the age number really is important, I'm sure you'll find folks in the same general range to hang out with!

I started solos at about 64:eek: Have gotten along with those much younger. I think they thought I was "MOM".

I'm 36 :eek: today, and have my first solo cruise in November.

Happy Birthday! :D I was 36 when I took my 1st solo cruise. Been solo cruising every year since. My only regret is that I did not start sooner.

Happy Birthday, I was about your age when I did my first solo and I am now about 20 years older and still enjoying the solo cruises. You may get addicted to the solo experience like the rest of us.

My first solo cruise was at 34. I am now 37 and about to go on my 6th solo cruise.

My first solo was 7 years ago at age 59. I am about to take another and can't wait. As far as being old, I'm not dead yet!!! As long as the heart keeps beating, I'll keep dreaming.:)

I'm 29. The solos on the ship I talked to were in their 30's and 40's.

did my first solo at 48, now i'm going on my 9th cruise solo at 57

37. First solo cruise last year at the tender age of 36.

I took the Epic transatlantic earlier this year and the solo travelers ages truly varied. 20s - 70s with the majority in their 30s - 50s.

I'm 34 and for my cruise on the Epic in November, I had originally booked a studio, since I was planning to go solo. Then one of my friends decided to crash my cruise... so we are now sharing an inside. However, I am already planning to book a solo cruise for 2013. :)
