worldchallenge Posted August 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Would a cruise with Princess be ok for a Solo person to go on? Considering the situation? would there be good spots and opportunity to meet other solos on a Princess cruise of the Panama Canal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted August 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I'm a single person and I only cruise solo. Granted you're going to pay a single supplementof approx. 50-75% of the base fare, but at least you'll have the cabin to yourself. Plus no one to share the bathroom with! This is a major issue with me.:D I loved the Panama Canal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted August 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I would be researching this on the Princess board, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=197 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacc Posted August 24, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Plus single cruisers on Princess receive two cruise credits rather than.just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 24, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2013 CruiserBruce has it right. I would post this on the Princess Cruise Line Board. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorisis Posted August 24, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 24, 2013 If you join the rollcall for your ship and date of leaving you will find others going with you and you can start to make friends before the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenusLady Posted August 24, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I soloed with Princess last year and loved it! The single supplement was a bit steep and a learning curve, hence why I'm now booked on MSC as had no single supplement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You meet a lot of people if you mingle where if you are with another person you seem to just talk to each other, but I've found that people once they know you are a solo traveler they seem to want to talk to you more. I prefer the smaller ships now like the Azamara Quest. Also, I certainly love going on Queen Victoria and Mary 2. They really cater for the solo passengers, with coffee mornings, and the Ladies even have a chance in the evenings to dance with the Escorts.

flamomo Posted August 24, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I am a Princess cruiser and have done some of my cruises as a solo. I always have a wonderful time and meet lots of very nice people!! I'd suggest you sign up for traditional dining and request a table for 6, which will give you an opportunity to meet other passengers and develop friendly relationships over dinner. Princess has get togethers for singles .... watch the Patter for times and locations. The first one is usually early in the cruise. If you are comfortable with starting chats with people, you will find it's really easy to get to know some of your fellow cruisers. Spend time out of your cabin .... go where other people are. Sit in the Piazza and have a cup of coffee or tea. It's a place where people gather. While transiting the Panama Canal, go up on the upper deck ... there'll be lots of others up there watching and taking photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
