I travel solo and think a person and a half is generous. A fair
rate would be slightly less than what two people pay. The cruise
line has to recoup the same fixed cost for the cruise regardless
of the number of people in the cabin.


FIRST OFF WHY SHOULD A SINGLE HAVE TO PAY MORE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE
ONLY ONE IN A CABIN...This is the problem I have when I travel and I
think it sucks.. plus its not fare that just because someone travels
alone they should have to pay a person and a half...

I mentioned the Celebrity single penalty. Here is one that
Travelocity and Princess have collaborated on.

They are offering a $200 shipboard credit on select sailings.
Here are some details.

"...Single occupancy staterooms will only receive half of the
applicable Onboard Credit amount and only one per stateroom may be
applied..."

"...Based on double occupancy or better. Single guests must pay 200%
of the cruise fare to be eligible for this Offer..."


I have to pay twice the fare but get only half the shipboard credit.
It appears to me that the cruise lines really don't want singles on
their ships.
