I took a Carnival cruise completely ALONE: the reality

  • After three solo cruises onboard Royal Caribbean and MSC ships, I took my first solo cruise on Carnival Cruise Line and spent 7-nights onboard Carnival Celebration traveling to Amber Cove, San Juan, and St. Maarten.
    Not only was this my first solo cruise with Carnival, but it was also my first-ever Carnival cruise, so I truly had no idea what to expect. While I was worried that I would find the party-like environment overwhelming as a solo cruiser, I ended up loving every second of my trip!
    During this trip, I got to learn what I loved and hated about cruising with Carnival, as well as think about the pros and cons of cruising alone.

    I love cruising solo. It's so relaxing. No having to compromise, sharing the bathroom, or keep up with other people.

    I love seeing a younger person enjoying the solo cruising. I am 70 and cruise alone. I agree with all your thoughts. Great to do what you want to do, but I do wish I had someone to share it with. I also have been blessed to meet others on ship. I am professional Santa, so that helps to start conversations. I am doing Port Canaveral to Alaska in 2025

    I just cruised solo from San Francisco to Sydney Australia (really need to make and post a video)
    i had a great time since it was a month long cruise in the end the whole ship basically knows everyone!

    I love cruising solo with Carnival. Everyone is so friendly and the party atmosphere made it easy to meet people.

    Went on one cruise alone. After my wife passed away. She was looking forward so much to go on it. Had to pay a single supplement although I was paying for two people all along. It was on a Carnival line. Princess. The singles event was every night at the same time I was schedule to eat dinner. It was unhosted. Met many people in the casino. You could make friends if you win them money. Those friendships only last as long as the cruise though. Most of the people I am in contact with these days I met on a cruise. You can spend quality time alone. It isn't bad.

    Its easy to meet friendly people on cruises. My friends met a group of girlfriends and we all ended up hanging out together.

    Great video. My last three cruises have been solo and all on Carnival. You hit on all the key points I’ve observed and experienced. I do gamble, so that’s another place to meet people if that is something you are in to. I cruise to disconnect from normal life, so I love the freedom to do what I want and when I want. The double occupancy charge is a pain.

    I love solo cruising and I’m leaving on one on May 16 for 11 nights in the Mediterranean on royal Caribbean Voyager of the seas. This will be probably my sixth or seventh solo cruise!

    Whoa. I had an interior cabin with a friend on RC for 13 nights Feb 2023. Both of us together was only $1800 with gratuities. That price seems very high.

    Been doing research it's allot cheaper not the newest ships, but a few older ships it's so much cheaper

    This October I plan on going on vacation and decided on a solo cruise. I know the single supplement means you pay double but guess what. You stay at a hotel you're paying double anyway. I was checking out the prices for south Florida and it's at least $250/day and does not include food or transportation. So I booked a 5 day solo cruise on Carnival Sunshine for $1300. I figure total cost will be a little under $1500 all said and done. If I flew down to Fort Lauderdale, Miami or the Keys that $1500 wouldn't cover the flight and the hotel. So the $1900 for 7 days doesn't sound so bad.

    I always cruise solo. Get the casino deals. They are $100. I did 8 of them this year. Celebration is a really nice ship.

      I went through the Brian Christopher slots website and got a similar deal. I had to do it that way or I’m playing the supplement. Hopefully it leads to offers in the future.
