k2excursion Posted March 5, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2015 On sailings that aren't selling well, they will open up some room types with no solo supplement at all, or some with just a 50% supplement. On some sailings, this has been done with OVs but not interiors, so look carefully. On the booking engine, put it in for 1 person when checking, then look at the "starting at" price for every room type, which is easily seen on the one page. These sailings tend to be in the fall & early winter, and it's more typical to see them on the shorter sailings out of Florida or California. And they are often the type of booking where Carnival picks your room for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerin Posted March 5, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The best time to book is when the cruise is the price you can afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 6 and 7 day cruises out of Miami. In the Spring and early Fall. Just do a mock booking for 1 person. Don't wait on the "list" to come out as mine weren't on there.

evandbob Posted March 5, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 5, 2015 If a person needs a room for just one when is the best time to book. Do they ever have specials for a single ? NCL has the best solo deals with tiny "studio" cabins on the Epic and newer ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put one person in the booking engine when checking prices (aka, mock booking). There are some solo deals that will let you pick your own room, but most that I have seen are ones where Carnival picks your room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted March 6, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 6, 2015 If a person needs a room for just one when is the best time to book. Do they ever have specials for a single ? There is a single offers (link) list posted in the bottom right of this page, but as someone else pointed out, the offers change all the time and there may be offers available that are not on the list. This list was posted 2 days ago. Carnival's discounted singles offers tend to come within about 2-3 months of sail dates as they try to fill empty cabins. https://www.goccl.com/ There is a major online cruise booking company that posts an updated list of singles offers. A Google search for singles cruise should show that result on the first page. That company has both hosted and non-hosted singles offers that show on 2 separate lists.
