Good price, but can't go anywhere any time soon. Just received biopsy results and have to have cancer surgery. Guess that comes first.

 

Ohhh...so sorry:(....sending you all my best wishes and good thoughts.:)

Looks like no single supplement for the moment on the 2 Oct 2015 repositioning of the Explorer from Southampton->Barcelona. Wish I could report the same for the 14 days after that... (Barcelona->Dubai).

who is going to bring a wetsuit and conquer that wave rider.....

 

There hasn't been a single supplement on that sailing for quite some time. Myself plus many other solos have already booked :)

 

Thanks for posting, the same deal is still available. :-)

Holland America has lots (more than I can detail here) of longer sailings (14+ days) with no single supplement in Feb / March / (NOT April -- my mistake) in Asia / Asia -> Europe / South America. All of these are on the Rotterdam, Volendam or Zaandam.

 

There are 7 on the Rotterdam or Zaandam from Asia for an all-in price under $100 / day for an inside (fare+tax+tip), with oceanviews for ~$10 more/day.

 

There's another 20+ for <$120 / day all-in, including the southern tip of S.A. route from Santiago to B.A. via Cape Horn.

There also seems to be some 0% supplement deals on the new HAL Koningsdam for the Med in Spring 2016. You'd be paying a little bit more for the "new" ship, but still no supplement is a good thing!

New is good, but for my budget, the Koningsdam's $220-$241/day is more than my budget will bear for a "cheap" HA cruise. The site I use to track these single rates is telling me that the Koningsdam's new solo oceanviews have an implied 25% solo supplement vs. regular oceanviews, and a spot check on HAL's site matches this. As you say though, much better than HAL traditional behavior of charging double.

 

The Zaandam South America cruises mentioned in the above table got cheaper today - insides down by $200 and oceanviews by $300. This puts them at $1330-$1370 all-in (fare+tax+tips) or $95-$98/day.

I got a great single supplement rate on Carnival Dream for March 1, 2015. Seven days which include Roatan, Belize and Cozumel for $269 (plus taxes and port fees - you know the drill!)!!

 

You got a great price. It's not even close to that now. Interior room is $678 now.

Am I right that most supplement-free offers are for inside rooms?

 

Most, but not always. It's unpredictable when and where - last September the Carnival Breeze had balconies for solos much cheaper than insides.

 

Today, many HAL's longer cruises for this Feb/Mar are supplement-free in balconies and suites (see table I posted a few days ago - this is the case for most of these). I didn't mention it earlier because I didn't think there'd be much interest.

 

You can also grab them very last minute. NCL Dawn 7 day cruise from New Orleans leaving in two days (Jan 25th) has a supplement-free balcony for $829.

No, on carnival I've been booking whatever category of room I want with no single supplement. I've noticed the cruises start offering the supplement free rooms about 3 months before the cruise. I don't usually see them available a year in advance. My philosophy is it doesn't matter whether there's a single supplement or not what matters is the total price of the cruise and that it is going where I want to go. So I just plug into the search engine at carnival # of passengers= 1, desired port of debarkation, desired length of cruise, desired date range and desired destination, and it brings up the cruises in order of price. I can then narrow it down to which ships I'm willing to sail on. You can then see the prices for the various categories of rooms and pick one. It doesn't really matter whether its supplement free or not if your desired room costs less for the total price.
