My last 2 cruises have not worked out for various reasons....my travel partner had to cancel. I don't want to miss out again. Are there any cruise lines that will take a single and not charge double? I'm ready to go! Thanks, Ellie |

Thanks, Ellie Our December sailing on the Holland America Westerdam has a 1.5x single surcharge for insides and outsides, not 2x. We're a group of about 30 of us. http://www.cruiseoutlets.com/2009SuesDecemberGroup.htm --Tom |

Are there any cruise lines that will take a single and not charge double? I'm ready to go! Thanks, Ellie It's been a couple of years since I sailed Princess, but since most of my cruises are solo I tend to search for good single rates. Princess offers (or did a couple years ago) a "guarantee share" program. They don't advertise it or anything, though. And the categories are limited. But you can pay the regular double occupancy rate but opt for a possible share. I've always had the cabin to myself and never paid more than the regular rate. No single supplements. Hmm, that doesn't make much sense... let me give an example. Cabin X is $500 per person for a 7 day cruise based on double occupancy. If you select a share, you will pay just $500 and MAY have a cabin mate. I've suggested this to several people and none of them have ever been assigned a share. I suggest when you call Princess make sure you select the most unappealing information. Ask for a smoker of the opposite sex. Worked for me several times! LES! |

I do recall reading accounts on both of those cruise lines from people who did end up paired up. Maybe they were not as creative as you with their info. Some had okay cabin mates. Some had problems. -- Charles |

princess no longer has the single share program SusettE Cruise Outlets and Travel www.cruiseoutlers.com 856 853-9515 Two cruise partner matching sites come to mind. The first, cabinmatch.com is unknown to me, the second, cruisemates.com I have used. The more specific you are about destinations and cruise ships the less likely you will find a match. In using either boards, I suggest you try to connect with people who live reasonably close to you. That way you can meet to see if you will get along and/or enjoy each other's company. Additionally, I made a brief road trip with an overnight at an inexpensive motel. That way we were able to see if we could share a cabin together or not. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M.

I snipped this from todays letter from Alan
Fox at Vacations To Go: Regent Seven Seas has temporarily eliminated the single supplement on standard suites on 9 departures, for Vacations To Go customers traveling solo. The supplement has also been reduced to 50% on penthouse suites (usually 75%) and on named suites (always 100%). Please click here for dates and prices. Oceania Cruises has temporarily reduced their single supplement to 25% (usually 100%) on 41 departures, for Vacations To Go customers traveling solo. The supplement applies to all categories of stateroom. Please click here for dates and prices. ~~DORIS~~ **________*/*/___/*/___/*/_________ *\::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::/ *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oceania Regatta 2/25/2009 Island Princess 4/4/2009 Pacific Princess 9/3/2009 Oceania Regatta 3/9/2010 Oceania Regatta 3/21/2010 http://community.webtv.net/DorisIs/AROUNDTHEHORN |
