law638 Posted May 14, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I am turning 60 in 2017 & my bucket list cruise is the Greek Islands. So far, no one wants to go, chickens! I am willing to pay the single supplement but which line would anyone recommend. After all, it is my retirement money & you can't take it with you. I am willing to pay within reason, not a fool. Thank you for any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am willing to pay the single supplement but which line would anyone recommend. After all, it is my retirement money & you can't take it with you. I am willing to pay within reason, not a fool. Thank you for any assistance. I am 58 and have been sailing solo since my mid 40s. I went to the Med on Celebrity and it was a fabulous cruise.:D....actually it is my #1 cruise (with over 40 of them). 4 of the stops on the cruise were in Greece.... Santorini, Rhodes, Mykonos and Athens. My 60th is in 2018......I know I am going to want to do something really special for that one:D (and no, I am not retired:rolleyes::() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoncom Posted May 15, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Just back from TA followed by 11N Greek/Italy on Celebrity Reflection. I did the 11N off Celebritys Xciting deals web site with only 50% singles supplement.Site usually has some excellent pricing 30-45 days out. Beautiful ship, excellent food, service. Never feels crowded either.Due to Migrant scare prices currently lowest ever. Start looking! Edited May 15, 2016 by zoncom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffy116 Posted September 18, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 18, 2016 We've done 2 Med cruises and cruised to almost all the Caribbean islands and the islands in Hawaii. I've always wanted to cruise while the ship was decorated for Christmas but our schedules and budget were never able to make it possible. I turn 65 shortly this year, and my daughter has planned a short cruise in December. We have a cruise planned for June to celebrate my Grandson's graduation from college but this short cruise is my birthday present and my daughters, Grandson and a friend of his will be flying to Miami on Christmas Day and boarding the ship the next day. I'm going to get to check that off my bucket list. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ducklite Posted September 25, 2016 #9 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Look at Windstar. Small ships that call on some ports the large ones can't. Lovely people onboard. Great crew. Great food. Single supplement waived on some sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIBTEE Posted January 21, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 21, 2017 For my 60th BD I chose Norwegian Jade for my Greek Isle cruise. We left from Venice and I was solo. It was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swhight Posted February 1, 2017 #14 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Congratulations on the big 6-0! I'll be hitting that milestone in October 2018, so I'm already making plans. Looking at the Greek Isles or a Greece/Italy combo. Hubby is 9 yrs older than me, so this will probably be a once-in-a-lifetime trip and I want to make it memorable. Anxious to hear how your trip goes! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoncom Posted February 8, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Agree with others on Reflection which does Greek and Italy in one cruise.I actually did the Transatlantic/Greek combo twice in 16. Once as solo .One of the better Med itins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
