Where are all the solo cruise deals?

  Where are the solo cruise deals?






In many social media solo  traveler groups, I often hear the question, “How can I find a solo price for my cruise?”

Answer:

Remember--Just as hotel rooms charge one price whether there are one or two people in the room, cruise lines also generally have one price--whether there are one OR two guests in the room.

It is very rare that you will find a solo price.

A small number of ships have solo staterooms/cabins but they represent less than 5% of all cruise ships.  Also, sometimes they are priced higher than a double occupancy room.


Keep in mind all pricing is based on supply and demand— just like the airlines and hotel industries.

You must be willing to invest a lot of time searching for these few-and-far-between deals---if this is a priority for you.

It will be easier to find a double-occupancy-priced cruise that simply has low prices. For example, a 10-day cruise that charges $599 per person is a great deal for a solo traveler!

Good luck!

Global Entry-I finally applied!

Today, I finally applied for global entry. What took me the longest in the application process was including all the countries I have visited in the last five years. The number is 41 and includes Egypt, Russia, Argentina, Sweden, united Arab emirates, and Panama. I'm looking forward to the next step which is a face-to-face interview. Hopefully after that, I will soon find out that I can zip through customs on the way back home when I travel abroad.

7 nation Asia cruise brings my total to 87 visited!!

7 nation Asia cruise brings my total to 87 visited!!
I just booked a wonderful Asia cruise that begins in Hong Kong and ends in Singapore and will make stops in ports in the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Brunei. If time permits while Hong Kong, I will visit Macau, via ferry.

All of these places are new to me so I will add seven nations to my nations visited count. 

 


I am especially excited about my pre cruise visit to Hong Kong and my post cruise visit to Singapore!

Did you know that TAIPEI is an acronym of Technology, Art, Innovation, People, Environment, and Identity.
