New topic after all this time. As I have said, way back , I am traveling solo this May to Alaska. My question is about making the dinner reservations (my time to do the online thing is coming up pretty soon) for Manfredi's and the Chef's Table. Are there shared table's there? Or am I doomed to eat alone those nights? I know I can ask for a shared table at The Restaurant, once on board.

I am cruising on the Viking Orion in May solo. How do they handle dining solo? Will I always have to eat by myself, or will I be able to share a table with others?

I have a question. How soon before you are able to book your excursions, can you see what the excursion selections will be? I am still months out from my cruise next year, but nevertheless, I want to be prepared!

@TTEllis You mentioned that the Caribbean Princess is good for solo cruising. What makes it so? I am taking a solo trip in October, so I would love to know!

I didn't hunt out any other solo cruisers, but I met a few in my last solo cruise. One was in her 80's and another was around my age (in her mid 50's) and a professional such as myself.

I am doing a solo trip with Viking next year (Alaska & Inside Passage), and am looking forward to it! It will be my fifth solo cruise, but my first with Viking. I say go ahead and do it! We only live once, and there's a great big world out there to explore!

I can't wait to hear about your trip @travelingman I am going to the Galapgos in October with Lindblad.
