Creator's Key Takeaways

Solo cruising as a woman is absolutely genuinely doable.

Cruise ships are, structurally speaking, one of the safest travel environments that exist.

Alcohol is the single biggest contributing factor in cruise ship safety incidents.

One of my fellow Lady Solo cruisers told me that she loves watching the sunset from her balcony in a plush robe with nobody asking her for a thing.
