Or NE FL. Seems more for travel between Orlando & south FL

Just booked MSC Seashore out of Port Canaveral, 5/19-26/24. 7 night western, in a Balcony (Fantastica) for less than $700. Yesterday the inside guarantee was more than that. It definitely pays to keep checking. I've been wanting to try MSC - for that price I couldn't go pass it up.

Maybe it has to do with it being a brand new ship. I booked the Transatlantic in Sept 2024 for a little less than double, but that I did book in Nov23.

So very sorry for what you are going through. I say try it. If you don't like it, don't go again but you will know. I love cruising, my husband not so much. I went through a very stressful life situation about 10 years ago and needed some time away and went on my 1st solo cruise. It was a 5 night and just enough to know I loved it. Most folks are very friendly and it's pretty easy to strike up a conversation. I've been on 60+ cruises and now have done about 10 solo. My most recent was an 11 night last Nov on Princess. I am just off a family cruise with my siblings/spouses yesterday and now know why I love cruising solo. I am only responsible for myself. Personally, at this time in my life (I'm 65) Princess is my favorite cruise line. Great service, food is good, beautiful ships. (not many children). Taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of others. Book that cruise and hopefully it won't be your last.

I did 11 nights on the Emerald in November and had a great time. I guess a little rust here and there doesn't bother me. Food (even the buffet) and Service were great. I had a balcony room on 12. No issues. I wouldn't hesitate to sail on her again. I also sailed Enchanted Oct 2022 and yes, its much newer and fancier. Again great food & service. That's what matters the most to me. I cruise to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I'm not cooking and cleaning, I'm happy.

I say go for it. I just did an 11 night solo on Princess and loved it. Ive done a few solo cruises but most were short cruises. Even when I cruise with family or friends we aren’t together all the time See if there is a roll call and join it. We had a very active roll call so you can chat ahead of time. We had a meet up the 1st afternoon. It was nice because some of us ate dinner together. I’d run into folks at trivia, shows etc. You may find you love it. I know I did. I’m tired of waiting for someone to go with me

Our local news says a new cruiseline is coming to Jacksonville and they are saying they think its NCL

A couple times, I just showed up whenever I wanted to eat and said I would share. No issues at all. I was also able to reserve a table (alone or shared) in the app.

I loved sailing solo on Princess. Never went to any of the solo meet ups (never looked for them) We had a large rollcall here and on the other page we can't mention. There were honestly about 25 solos - some of us met up for dinner, trivia, etc. In fact 3 of us booked (separate cabins) for the Sun T/A in Sept. The service was always great. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Another lurker here who throughly enjoys your reviews. And all your pictures are awesome. As someone else posted you could do a book of your beautiful photos Good luck. Life changes are never easy

I've been having this issue for the past 3 weeks, doesn't matter if I'm on my phone, desktop or laptop. I've used Chrome and Edge and incognito pages - even cleared all cookies. I can use my booking number and access my current booking but that's it. Very frustrating.

In my past experience, the Free at Sea is per person. So you get the 2 specialty dinners and whatever the minutes are for one person - you don't get double. I've only done 2 solo on NCL so I could be mistaken.

I’m interested in the answers you get. I’ve been on several Princess cruises but have my 1st solo with them in Nov. and it’s 11 nights.
