Looking for a cruise companion to share accommodation costs

Is there anyone who is in the same situation as myself who loves cruising but doesn't want to pay the excessive single suppliment? Would love to hear from anyone who's interested.

Hi Missj

I'm also looking for a general or group travel companion, happy with cruises or other types of travel.. I'm married but my husband no longer wishes to travel but I still have a bucket list to fill.. To pay a single supliment is often the same as paying for another person to travel, which is so annoying. I am planning a last minute holiday at the end of March 2017- it would be great to have some company, I would want to meet face to face before Id agree to travel with anyone though.

Hi miss j,
I would be interested in a cruise. Did one 3 years ago and loved it

think I have replied to you before but I have been looking for a cruise companion to share a cabin as solo cruising is just too expensive.

This is my first post on anything like this. The thing is, I am a young 69 who is trying to plan some sort of break/holiday out of the school holidays.
I have looked at all inclusive holidays and looked at cruises. I like the idea of holidaying in a warm/hot country.
Here's the rub, I don't want to be on my own, in a hotel room or cabin, wondering why I took the holiday. I need to share, enjoy a bit of life with someone, too many times I have verged on the point of booking a resort only to back out at the last minute.
I am not living on my own, but may as well be. I have a full time job that's fairly well paid and live north of Bristol (20 mins) and have a car.
As I said at the beginning. My first post and I don't know what to expect.
I hope you had a happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.
Peter

anyone interested in cruising or just abroad
Response from Fflorielle made on 19th Oct 2016 08:03:52
Think I have messaged you before saying I am interested, prefer a cruise but depending on country would consider just a holiday abroad.

Hi I would be interested to hear from anyone who has cruised on their own Some cruise lines have single cabins ( definitely P&O). Would just like to hear people's experiences as a solo cruiser. I have cruised several times with my late husband but not sure about going on my own.
Response from Fflorielle made on 6th Jun 2016 08:19:54
I
have never cruised alone but recently lost my traveling companion, would you be interested in sharing a cabin
Response from MikeP made on 16th Sep 2016 09:50:03
You may want to consider Norwegian Cruise lines. Their latest ships have over 100 single cabins in an exclusive area in the ship. The area also includes a lounge and a bar so you can be sure that everyone you meet there is also single. They have cleverly addressed both the financial and social issues of single passengers

Hi Coady
I have just joined this site and although I see your post was last April I thought I would reply anyway! I have cruised 5 times on my own through circumstances where I did not have a choice unfortunately. I love cruising and although there are always quite a few solo cruisers I found them, albeit nice people, got into a bit of a click together. I like to meet different people and found freedom dining was for me where you can sit on any table and meet different and some very interesting people every night. People are usually very friendly and I love to travel to different countries, that's why cruising is so good! and of course all your meals are prepared, fantastic meals, and your cabin is cleaned every day. As a solo traveller though I found I opt for the ships tours rather than go on my own but that is only for safety reasons, if I travelled with someone else I would probably make my own way.
Hope this helps!

I will be going to America , invited by my American Friend I met on a cruise a while ago . We both liked having a little flutter in the Casino and swapped e-mail addresses. I was invited to join her Family for Thanksgiving and will be going again in November so will not be making any more Holidays for a while.

I am very interested have done quite a bit of cruising but find single costs rather prohibitive.

Check out Norwegian Cruise Lines. Their latest ships have over 100 single cabins in an exclusive area in the ship which also has a lounge and bar, so you can be sure everyone you meet is also travelling alone. They have addressed both the cost and social issues of single cruisers.

The term 'cruising' has unfortunate connotations, for some members of society, 'cruising' means going out looking for someone to get passionate with!

Hi Missj. I might be interested in sharing a cabin. I've never been on a cruise before, but might be interested in trying it sometime. I agree with the excessive single penalty.......a punishment for being single.

Hi you replied to my ad re possible cruise sharing I would like to discuss further.could I send my e mail address?
Response from looking2travel made on 4th Apr 2016 01:30:09
I'm sorry, no. I won't give out any information until I am confident that the person is legitimate.
Response from Fflorielle made on 29th Jul 2016 17:00:39
I would be willing to contact by email if you are still interested in a cruising companion. I have done quite a lot of cruising but will try anything really want to see New Zealand but would do a closer one.
