Hi,
I'm planning to be near Galveston in mid-July, and would like to take the July 18th cruise on Carnival to Mexico. It's 5 nights for about $579, and I can't afford to pay the single supplement. I'm a female in my 30's who has never been on a cruise before, and I'd like to find a female to be a roommate. I don't know the best way to go about this, so I'm open to suggestion...

Hi! I might be able to help! I am a happily married, totally straight, non-smoking female and I live in Texas. Galveston is a good four-hours away and I really hate the drive, but I could look into flying into Houston Hobby then taking a shuttle to the port. I have some errands I need to run this morning, but if you are really serious and would like to try cruising, I might be able to go with you. I am older than you are in years only. I love to laugh, play the trivia games they offer onboard, sunbathe, snorkel and shop. If you think we have a chance at making this work, please let me know. I can probably get us a better rate by using my senior discount. "OMG! She's over 55!" Yep...but only in years.

Yes, I'm serious, and I don't care about age (except in dating, lol). I love playing games too

I don't sunbathe though, I only burn

Does the date of the trip work out for you? I could maybe use some guidance from you if you know how to book a room together but pay separate?

Can you send me a private message? Thanks!!

Still looking!

Sorry we couldn't make it work out, Snorkeler.

Me too. If it were for 7 days it would be worth it. PLEASE keep me in mind, ok?

Hi, I am a SWF looking for a female cruisemate for Dec 3, 2011 Freedom leaving out of Fla on 8 night to Virgin Islands. Inside cabin, but can upgrade to oceanview. I have never advertised for a cruisemate before, but have cruised 9 times so far. Also have a cruise booked for Sept 16, 2012 on the Magic.
I am a semi-retired SWF 65 years old, young at heart. I do drink, don't smoke (quit a long time ago, but am not bothered by smokers), sorry to say that I do snore. Love to party.
