We usually have some folks from Europe, Australia, Canada, and other places in our groups. They might still be able to take over your booking and have you become part of the group (usually at no charge). If interested, give them a call and ask. Either way, you will have a great time on the cruise!

Hi! I am booked with the singles group you are referring to on the Oct 30th on the Getaway. I've done many cruises with them and enjoy them a lot. It's true that you won't be able to get into the private parties/activities for the group unless you book with them but you will meet several of us around the ship, especially dancing in the clubs. We're very friendly and love to make new friends. Several of us are booked in the studios. We have theme parties and of course Halloween so don't be surprised to see some elaborate costumes. If we don't have any parties scheduled at 5pm several of us will hang out in the studio lounge for the daily get-together. Come up and talk to us! Curious why you don't book with the group? It doesn't cost anymore.

And now all the planning begins. :) Excursions, clothes, etc.... :)

Join the roll call when it starts up.

It is absolutely normal! I've cried before when walking down the gangplank, simply because I had never had so much fun before and didn't want to leave. That was several years and many cruises ago. I'm retired now and can happily cruise often. I have 4 more booked for the next year and may add another. Get used to looking for sales and deciding where to go. The Regal is a beautiful ship, I was on her in Jan and now I'm in love with Princess.

Just booked spa balcony for myself on Carnival Splendor Nov 16th 7 day eastern carib. $973 plus $52 obc. Also get spa privileges. Nice.
