Great senior rate for EOS 7 night to Bermuda for September and October 2012.

These are for 9/23/12

Outside $864

Balcony from $1214

 

Plus there are C & A savings certificates.

The higher C&A you are the more the discount.

I read the horror stories but really 321 for an OV. I am sure I will survive. Only in my 40s so can get by and suffer. Never done anything but a balcony. But I can drive and park for free so seems like a way to spend 5 days in misery. I got plenty of luxury at home but the beach is prettier then my view.

 

Nassau is certainly the same even if you take a Garbage scowl to float over to her but while the Monarch is not quite that bad, she is not up to the usual standards.

WOW, thanks for letting us know. :)

 

I booked a JS for 9/23/12 last September on board, with the senior discount I'm saving about $550 from when I originally booked. I also just booked a JS for 9/22/13. The regular price right now is only $200 more than I'm paying for 9/23/12 with the senior discount. I'm hoping when its gets closer to the the sailing they will offer a senior discount like this years, and I got my cabin on the hump for both sailings.

I just booked two cruises on Costa Victoria==Dec. 15 Asia 14 nights

Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand $1007 single and Dec 29 14 nights Singapore,

Malaysia, Vietnam, Hong Kong $1367 single. Total cost.

 

Anyone want to join me and possibly share excursions? Costa has other great

prices for singles in Europe, but you have to look for deals. I took two

trips with them in Europe last year and liked it (one on the infamous

Concordia) costacruises.com.

I just found a senior solo rate on the 9/9 Explorer Bermuda cruise for $585 for a K inside cabin. Unbelievable! Snagged a deck 7 cabin not far from the aft elevators.

 

I'm booked for 9/23. It's even a few dollars cheaper for M inside. $567. With 65 savings certificate that's $502 for 7 nights!

I own stock, so I get $100 from that which will pay the tips. As a diamond I can drink free wine during the happy hour (or should I say happy 3 1/2 hours before late dinner). All I have to do is buy a bus pass and figure out how to get around.

If you own stock can you combine the OBC for stock ownership with other OBCs from a Certificate purchased on an earlier Carnival Cruise or with a TA OBC? Thanks

For a winter cruise from the northeast, look at the 9 day Explorer 2/1/2013 to the Caribbean(Labadee, San Juan, St. Thomas & Dom Rep) - I just got a senior solo rate for a great inside cabin for a base price of $895 ($998 with port taxes) - leaves on a Fri and comes back on a Sun so less vacation days.

This one also has an OBC from RCCL if you're a member.

OK, I'm confused.

 

After a much-too-long hiatus from cruising I found what I considered a great deal and posted it here (post #1567). I must have been the only one who considered it a great deal as no one excitedly commented on my find.

 

While on my cruise I went to the office where they book future cruises (whatever it's called). I said (without mentioning any figures) that I had gotten what I thought was a great rate and asked "what would you consider to be a great rate on this cruise sailing solo in a balcony cabin?" Without hesitation the reply was "$400-500."

 

I thought my $800 rate was the find of the decade! Am I missing something? :confused:

 

PS If I can find single, balcony cabins for under $500 it will not be another twelve years until my next cruise!!

That would most definitely be a great rate for a balcony cabin - solo. However, I think $500 is totally unrealistic - unless you were on a 2-day cruise to nowhere (I am being intentionally facetious). Your $800 rate for a solo balcony was definitely a great rate. Did you enjoy the cruise?

got the wrong word - meant facetious not factitious

In all honesty, no I didn't.

 

While this was my first-ever cruise in a balcony cabin (two thumbs up for balconies), I am not a gregarious (outgoing) person. I know others are different. Others make friends out of strangers rather quickly. I don't. This was my first-ever truly solo cruise. And I felt truly solo for the entire week.

 

Also, of no assistance, was the fact that I received my Cruise Critic's meet-and-greet invitation some seven hours after it happened!

 

Alas, if only some cute little single woman had come knocking at my cabin door asking to see what a balcony cabin looked like! But those things happen only in the movies, don't they?

 

My love for cruising is not yet dead. And my search for a single/solo, balcony cabin for less than $500 shall continue.

Balconies are great. Aren't they? You will find another cruise soon. Keep looking!

No, it doesn't just happen in the movies. I met a man on the transatlantic cruise from New Orleans to Barcelona April 15-28, 2012. The moment we looked into each others eyes there was an instant spark and the chemistry was so thick you could cut it with a knife. It took us 4 days to act on the feelings, but I can tell you the time we spent together after that was the most magical, special feeling of my entire life. Now it's a waiting game to see if I am contacted. If not, I have memories that will always be with me.....

Great story!.... I hope that it works out for you and he contacts you... he'd be a fool not to.

I was on that ship! How wonderful for you. It really was a good mix of solo/single travelers.
