There are several cruise companies who post available cabins. Just find one of those and do a dummy booking so you will see which cabins are available in real time. you will probably get a better price, too.

I was in 6036 for a cruise a few years ago and really liked it. The cabin was positioned between lifeboats so there was plenty of light. The problems were that you had to be careful with keeping blinds open when the crew was out there. I would also recommend a smaller bed. A Queen or double would make the room feel more spacious. But for one person it is great. I saved about $1,500 on this cabin and would choose it again. the location is great too.

I have stayed in 6036 once. It also has a decent view between the lifeboats. I would never book that category with two people as it is just too small, but for me it was fine especially when saving over $1,000 compared to a balcony. Only category 08 was available for oceanview so I only had the choice between a balcony and obstructed OV. The location is fantastic but you have to be careful when they are servicing the lifeboats to keep the blinds closed. personally I think they should restrict them to solo occupancy and reduce the size of the bed to at least a Queen or double which would make the room seem larger.

There are several reduced solo supplements in March, April , May but they are not advertised and you have to go through the booking process to see them. two that I have seen are the Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria on May 2 and the Wine cruise on May 30. There are several in March too including Spain, France and Italy. I have no idea why they are not listed on the site when you search solo cruise deals but I found them by chance when I did dummy bookings. I don’t know about June yet, there may be some there too. Many are also listed on Quarterly savings for an extra 10%. Anne
