Hello Oliver - Thanks for your response! Cruise Critic. My apologies for the delay in responding. I thought I had set an alert to notify me when someone responded. I suppose the alert didn't work and I just saw the reply. I sent you an e-mail. Thanks! AJ

Hey all - Traveling solo and hoping to find some other folks to hang out with onboard. Good to hear back rom you. AJ

Great. There was an opening on the Sete Cidades Crater Lake excursion in the Azores so I snapped it up. Might as well use the "free excursion promo" when I have a chance. I am doing the SCENIC VILLAGE & COASTAL VIEWS in Funchal. But, I don't plan to do anything at the private island. I never find that too interesting. Hopefully, I will have some time to do something in Lisbon once we arrive and before my next leg. Looking forward to meeting you guys. Hopefully we will run into each other. Andy (e-mailguy369)

OK, thanks! it appears all the excursions are sold out for Azores. Maybe something will become available once we set sail.

Sorry to bother you again, but did you guys find a good excursion company for the Azores? There's only one ship excursion available there, and I don't particularly care about swimming with the dolphins 😀 I'd rather go out to the craters or something.

Hello all - I didn't see a roll call open for this itinerary. My apologies if I missed it. Just booked this cruise yesterday. It was almost too good to pass up. While I've sailed many time, it's my first time sailing solo 😶. Going to spend some quality time with myself while I explore some places I've never been. Hope to meet some other friendly people onboard! Andy in DC

Just an update. I booked this cruise so I hopefully I'll see you guys on board. I am actually taking a follow-on cruise from Lisbon. I couldn't pass up spending some time visiting some other European cities while I was there. A in DC

Thanks for the replies, guys. The cruise is a great deal - just a bit expensive to fly back to the States for me in DC. I's still researching which itinerary I want to do, but I will be making my choice soon. (The continuation of this itinerary from Lisbon to Rome looks more interesting with many more ports. I sort of hate to go on this trip and rarely get off the ship.) Thanks again for taking the time to respond! A

Hello MKandA (and Mirroring) Just curious if you guys found many others aboard. I came across a great deal on this cruise and was thinking about taking it. The only problem is that I've never sailed by myself and am a bit hesitant about it being 12 days without much to do and alone. Interested to hear back! 🙂 A in DC
