Single supplement rates are once again appearing on my Triumph April 21st cruise. I originally booked an interior cabin w a single supplement rate. Looked yesterday just hoping I could maybe get an upgrade and there it was under a casino rate, the single supplement rate for interiors and balcony rates only. I upgraded to a balcony for $120 more. Got a balcony cabin for my first solo cruise for $571. I'm pretty happy w that :)

Sweet! Enjoy your balcony.

 

There are quite a few more solos on board now with the great "no single supplement" fares.

How are you able to find the cruises that do not have the supplement? I have a friend that wants to cruise, but go alone. We know NCL has single cabins. It is exhausting go through each cruise to do mock booking to find out. Is there a list?

 

Thanks

Easiest why is to do a cruise search with number of travelers 1

Single supplements never really "disappear". Their presence is the norm. Carnival just removes them during the low season, usually January through early May, excluding spring break. Now that academic years are drawing to a close and more workers take vacations, more people are cruising, so the supplements are back. Either way, enjoy them while they last. There's nothing nicer than saving a few hundred dollars that you pay for a phantom person to occupy the second bed in your cabin.

There are quite a few cruises right now with no single supplement thru the summer. I've seen a few for the fall. There is a current list, but I've found more cruises and better pricing by just searching for a cruise. I just put in 1 passenger and the month I'm looking to cruise.

 

I just booked a porthole cabin on a 5 night middle of July for $428 including all taxes & fees.

 

Good Luck - hope you find something. I've been able to take advantage of 2 cruises in the last few months and hoping for another in October

Does it make a difference if you're logged in when you do this?

I posted this on another thread but thought it might fit here also:

 

I booked a B2B cruise in Feb. for the Glory in November. I booked as a solo in a 1A cabin. Just checked the prices on the cruises and the combined price drop was over $800. Called Carnival and now my bookings show the lower prices.

 

Has Carnival removed the single supplement?

It didn't make a difference for what I was looking for. I hate logging in when Im checking prices because then Carnival starts calling me. I'm a little obsessive about looking at cruises and hate them calling me.

I booked a solo 4a on the July 14 Triumph sailing. Booked it on 6/9/14. Today the same deck, same cabin type is going for twice the price when I run a mock booking. I feel really great about the deal I got.

They have removed the solo supplement on the 1As. The other categories are still 200%.

 

Cove balconies also show up with 0% SS. Since its capacity controlled you just never know which category will have 0%...just depends how desperate they are to fill the ship.

There are other major on line cruise web sites that offer true solo fares with no supplement. I just booked the Conquest 10/12 for under $600 using one of those sites. Have to be diligent and quick when these offers appear.

I see the your cruise on the carnival site for $563.66/$583.66 depending on which rate you choose.

 

These solo deals arent specific to any online site, they are all on the carnival site. Its just that you have to keep clicking through to get the 0% SS, since it will initially show 200%.

I leave today in a port hole cabin on the Paradise with no single supplement. Since g/f had a family vacation, I decided to take my own. Have gone solo in the past & always had a great time.

My porthole cabin, going solo, on the Paradise that leaves today for 5 days was $422 with taxes & fees so we got about the same deal. Anytime you can get a solo fare for under $100 a day is a very good deal.
