pebbles1102 Posted March 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 1, 2018 How is the Solo life on NCL ships without studio rooms? Are there activities planned for the solo travelers? Any meals planned together? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrieBajan54 Posted March 1, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) The Solo program on the older ships that do not have Studio cabins is no different. I just happen to prefer the older ships so I have participated on several ships. Check the daily Freestyle Paper for the time to meet up each evening. The Solo host will set up daily dinners in the Main Dining Rooms and in some cases, if there is interest, for the Specialty Dining Rooms. Sometimes the Solo Host schedules additional activities that are optional, of course. On my recent Gem cruise, the host scheduled 4 breakfasts in the Main Dining Room and some trivia sessions.

lettienets Posted March 2, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 2, 2018 In Jan. I was on Spirit and the solos met every night at 7pm in Galaxy and the host either made us a reservation in one of the dining rooms or we went as a group and lined up. Got in quickly. There were 8-12 of us most nights. Some had specialty dining here and there. It was the best arrangement so far. Twice I was on Jade about 5 years ago and no effort was made for the solos. Back on Jade in Sept. Will look for change. Sent from my SM-G955W using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budget Queen Posted March 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2018 As mentioned, there will be a solo gathering noted in the Free Style daily. Depends on the cruise what activities may or may not happen. Frankly, I think some people have expectations that are not realistic with solo travel. I don't expect ANYTHING. I make my own plans with my travels, and never expect anything more. It was disturbing for me, as example on the Jade seeing a fellow solo- berating the solo host, at every opportunity with unfavorable comparisons. Reported all kinds of nonsense. Problem was, she took this as entitlement and unfortunately NCL tried to placate her, "rewarding" her with extras, that she bragged about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Teapot Posted March 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I think it depends on the sailing. My experience on Jade a few years ago was that the "Solo Travellers Gathering" comprised me (the solo traveller) and whichever member of the Entertainments Team was on that night. On the plus side, I learnt a great deal about what it's like to work on a cruise ship. :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeburg Posted June 30, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 30, 2018 ( this is not my native language ) On the Epic and bigger you have a living room as meeting point . In the daily is a time given to meet - outside or inside the living room . The is the posebilety to make appoinments … to go together at lunch or theater or adventure room and so on and you have thre a white board for make notices . I love this room .. I spend some night with new friends by talking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
