Princess and HAL charge 150 or 160%. I don't know about HAL but this
lower supplement is only on lower catagorys. Also on some of their
cruise deals you can get a cabin on Celebrity for a 150% supplement.
Then there is group space on all the lines, I don't know what they are
charging on the supplement but the fare comes out to low enough that I
don't care what the supplement is. By the end of this year I will have
cruised a total of 26 days, cruises on Celebrity, Carnival and RCI as a
single, and my cruise fare will total $3324. Those were all inside
cabins.

Sounds great to me, Charles. Twenty-six days of cruising, with layovers
in FLL or even Miami, will easily take care of my need for sun and
warmth in January.

think.

Silversea single supplement.

Was charged 200% on one cruise (actually took someone with me who couldn't
afford it and needed a vacation!), and 125% on another. Go figure !!!

strangely enough the best charge less for singles. Look to Silversea
and
Radisson and often the supplement will be as low as $150.

Cool. If I get bored on these ships during the wee hours, I can always
take up knitting.

I will start looking more carefully at HAL and Princess. I would even
seriously consider work as a "gentleman" host, if they would drop the
white polyester and white shoe requirement.

Howie, do these er, Gentleman Hosts have to put-out for the ladies? I
have a white linen suit and can get white dress shoes. I'm down with
everything but the putting-out part. :-)
