I'm a 75 year old widower. My wife and I cruised about 8 times. It was our favorite pastime. After 48 years of marriage, I lost her to Alzheimer's. Since then, I've gone with a group (solo room), shared a room with DD and her partner, and DD and niece. I've cruised solo twice and will be on another one 10/30/13 (RCCL transatlantic). It will be from Barcelona to Ft. Lauderdale. Most of my cruises have been in the Caribbean out of Ft. Lauderdale, since I reside there. I once shared a cabin with an old friend, and it worked out fine. I'm not averse to sharing, but am not excited about doing so with a stranger. My family members and friends are either not available or are non-cruisers. So, I'm not staying home. I love the repositioning cruises because of the better rates and the multiple days at sea.

Fellow solo cruisers, I am considering booking a Singles cruise through Vacations to Go. They offer a cruise out of FL on Royal Princess to Eastern Caribbean. Anyone has experience on this TA? or just book through the cruise line as a single traveler. Thank you for your advise in advance.

GTV, nice pictures! My first Hawaii cruise was on Dec 2011 aboard the Oosterdam for a 14-night trip. I had dinner with two other solos. Had a really great time.

Sorry about your wife Jim. No doubt her Alzheimers was hard on you as well.
