Hi Rambo!

I am on the Celebrity Eclipse 12-1-2012 Southern Caribbean. St Maarten, St Thomas, St Johns Antigua, St Lucia, Barbados, Grenada, Bonaire, Aruba & 5 Sea days. I am really looking forward to it. I have visited a few of the islands on previous cruises, but this is a pamper me cruise (sounds all consuming selfishness) but you know what? It is about time...LOL I intend to hit the spa, the gym, the pool, shop and just "relax to the max" my new mantra...LOL I can chat up people if I so choose (not often as I do not want to feel obligated to "be on") I was in a profession that I had to "be on" all the time and after 25 yrs I am going to be off for a while...LOL I am happy to see there are so many others who prefer the solo aspect as well. I do not think we are particularly selfish or standoffish, just looking for true peace and quiet and valuable down time.

Hi all!!! I have been on my own for over 12 years now, but Dec 2012 will be my first Solo cruise. I have cruised with kids, family, parents, mom, GF's and now just ME!! I booked it as a pampering cruise.....well just because...LOL I am 55 retired early so GF do not have as flexible schedules, siblings still have kids to raise, parents no longer travel and I do not want to sit still. I'm looking forward to being solo, everytime I think about well maybe I should ask so and so I quickly (and yes selfishly) say NO!!! I want to just relax and be pampered and do as I please!!! I have never had any fear of being alone, I enjoy my own company, I can go or do whatever I please....Yaaay!! It gets expensive when you pay double, but for this trip it is worth it 15 days of whatever!! I know I will travel Solo again, I am eyeing a cruise in 2013 that is 19 days with a GREAT itinerary. I have not gone on any "singles" cruises as there seems to be an intent to meet someone and that is not my agenda. If it happens great, but in the meantime I am having a ball enjoying life as a Solo!!
