Hesitant about crusing solo

Hi Ann, I just returned home from my 40th something solo cruise;):D.....

I had a great time (I always do)......wishing you smooth sailing (should

you decide to go on your own:D).

Oh....cruising solo is the only way I cruise.

Hi Thanks for your encouraging words:)

Just do it !!! I did my first solo cruise in May this year on QM, it was superb. Didn't know a soul when I got on but after a few days I'd met and got to know a lot of lovely people I'm still in contact with. I'm doing a solo cruise on QE in just over a weeks time and can't wait.

My tips - go to the solo travellers meetings, especially the first one. Request a large table for dinner, go to lunch in the restaurant and ask to join a large table there, participate in the line dancing etc classes, be seen about the ship and don't hide away, sit with a coffee/drink and you can bet you'll get chatting to someone. Bar stool at the bar for pre dinner drinks - people tend to frequent the same bar for this so you see the same faces. Lastly - go and have a fantastic time.

It can mean a couple of the things............

 

TA can mean Travel Agent and it can also mean Transatlantic Crossing.

If someone says "I did a TA", I sure hope they mean Transatlantic crossing...:rolleyes:

Another great way to meet people is to take part in the team activities, like trivia and such. You find a group that looks like they would welcome an extra player and just ask them to join their team. You almost always get a very enthusiastic YES

If someone says "I did a TA", I sure hope they mean Transatlantic crossing...:rolleyes:

It depends on the TA. :)

To the original poster, you've received some good advice. I hope you listened to them and are having a grand old time on your originally planned trip.

Thanks. Trans Atlantic makes the most sense in the context of the message although it is hard to imagine getting off half-way through a TA cruise.
