I'm glad to see they make a distinction between crustaceans and mollusks. I'm allergic to one type but not the other. I usually just say I'm allergic to shellfish, and I'm careful not to order shrimp or lobster, but I was afraid they might refuse to serve me scallops or clams. I'll make sure to tell them my allergy is to crustaceans only.

At least you're not on Norwegian. Diet Coke from a can is still better than Diet Pepsi. :)

I'm 49 and single, and I just booked the Norwegian Breakaway for December 8th. This will be my sixth cruise overall and my fourth solo.

Hi everyone! I'm Rob, 48 and single. I've been on 4 cruises and all but the first have been solo. After the first cruise I was hooked, and even though I can't find anyone else who wants to cruise I'm not going to let that stop me!

I was a bit worried about cruising by myself since I'm kind of an introvert, but traveling alone forces me to break out of that. When I'm on a cruise I find it so much easier to be more outgoing, to meet new people, do new things, etc. I had a great time on my first solo cruise and each new cruise has been better than the last.

I celebrated my 54th birthday on my recent cruise. The new friends I made on board made it so special-- with champagn, cake, and a special dinner.

There were two special dinners, if I remember correctly... ;)

I was recently on the NCL Jewel where I met Julie and a lot of other wonderful people. It was such an amazing week, I just didn't want it to end. Now I have to wait until October for my next cruise. Being with family again on my next cruise will be nice, but it won't be quite the same as going solo. I have a week off in July with no plans, so maybe I'll be able to squeeze in another solo cruise...
