FYI to all reading this thread, Numerous posts have been removed due to being off topic thread drift aka hijacking, mentioning a TA or some other source/venue for cruise purchase, and containing quotes of removed posts. This is a friendly reminder regarding the title of this thread, "Post CRUISE LINE Single Supplement/Solo Bargains HERE". The topic is bargains offered by the CRUISE LINES only... NOT travel agents/agencies (online, brick & mortar, big box, etc.), promoters of hosted group cruises for singles/solos or any other source/venue for cruise purchase. Please see the Travel Agent Recommendations and Advertising is Not Allowed sections in the Guidelines we all agreed to follow when registering for our free Cruise Critic memberships. In this thread, this also means no screen shots of cruise bargains from any website other than a cruise line website. Perhaps a copy/paste of the first post by cruisinryan on the previous thread with the same title will be helpful: A thread for single supplement/solo bargains is very helpful for solo cruisers. 🙂 There used to be one, but it disappeared 😕 ...maybe it got too big. So let's start another one and see what happens. 😄 Post all those great deals everyone! 😄 But remember, you can't mention specific travel agencies, just general info like: "Cruise line .... currently has good prices for solo occupancy on .... sailing". Note the above states general info for cruise line, ship name and sail date are all that has been requested. Please feel free to add the itinerary or info regarding the cruise that will be helpful to those waiting with bated breath for the next bargain to appear on this thread. And yes, there will be times where there will be the need for additional posts requesting & receiving clarification about a previous bargain posted in this thread. However, please be considerate of your fellow Cruise Critic members. Posting chit chat (off topic thread drift aka hijacking) within a thread is boring to some readers and wastes their time. Especially for the 217 members Following this thread at this time. Everyone reading this thread only wants to know about the latest CRUISE LINE single supplement bargains. This is NOT a thread for "discussion" as are other Cruise Critic threads. I sincerely hope this will be helpful to all and thanks in advance for everyone's cooperation. Happy sails, Host Kat

Prior to October 2018 when we switched software from vBulletin to Invison, a member's duplicate accounts could be merged into one account. That way the member could keep the user name they wanted as well as their post count & original join date. I do not know if it can still be done with the current software. Please feel free to send an email to help@cruisecritic.com including both your user names and the email addresses of record currently on each. Ask if your duplicate user name accounts can be merged with our current software. Be sure to state which user name and email address of record you want to keep. Hopefully the two accounts can be merged, and you will continue to be Lois R as well as keep your post count, badge, original join date and Member Title. When it was done before, all previous posts made under the unchosen user name would change to the chosen user name. However, any posts containing quotes of unchosen user name posts would still show the unchosen user name on the quote. The MA may be due to the first two letters in the email address of record on your new account. Good luck! 🤞🍀

I will tag your thread to @CC Help Michell, our UGC Content Coordinator. But have you checked to see if your current hotmail Cruise Critic email of record is correct? IIRC, your Cruise Critic email address of record is where an auto reply from the reset process would have been sent.

Two threads were merged into one thread on another forum and then moved to this forum where it was more on topic.
