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.

Princess had 160% supplements on a few different cabin categories. Is
this just a strange one, or is this the wave of Princess' future?

The brochure price, which I don't think anybody pays, is 150%. On the
sale price, the single supplement is 200%. The sale price is is less
than the brochure price even with the 200% supplement. This seems to
be the way all the major lines are doing business now. Princess doesn't
even take out the former scam port charges. The only take out $43
government taxes and fees.
