Probably Carnival. A slightly higher number of "singles" in your age group. I'm not sure how old you are, though. Unless you're married, somebody booked in your cabin has to be at least 25.

The Conquest is a great ship out of New Orleans, plenty of lounges to suit you taste...
Also take a look at the Tours that may fit your life style.... Happy Cruisen...

I am going on my 20th Carnival cruise this fall, all as a single traveling alone.
The ship I like most is the Triumph I have been on that 3 times, take the cruise to the west. Ocho Rios is kind of fun and they have a great Margaritaville near the boat.

Have fun

You single cruisers.....

I am not one but I was wondering, do you have to pay a fortune to cruise by yourself for the room?

Someone told me it was the rate plus 80% and then some other odd sounding amount.

depending which Travel Agent I think. booking through singles cruise group, I pay 720.00 for an inside cabin - and they book me a roommate. Booking solo no roommate , I checked into it and found it for 850.00

I would rather book with the singles group and have people to hang out with when I felt like it.......and be totally alone and relaxed when I felt like it.

Do alot of people hook up on cruises?

YUCKIE I think those rooms are too smal to have to share with someone you don't know!

#13 (**permalink**) May 17th, 2005, 03:30 PM

Too small, from what I have heard people do it all the time. I heard it is a great place to meet men and women.

actually I got lucky last time and had a great roommate, after a few hours we didn't seem like strangers, it helps that you are both part of the same group onboard.

this next time, I am rooming with a friend that I met on the last cruise.
and yes alot of people hooked up last time
and yes it is a great way to meet people men and women.
