Creator's Key Takeaways

I've taken over a dozen cruises alone, even flying to Europe by myself, a few times just to squeeze in more cruises.

When you're cruising alone, you don't have to do any of that. It's kind of neat to be able to do what you want on a whim without having to consult anybody else.

The truth is I've come to just accept it and understand that when there's a point where you need to share a table or a chair or wherever with somebody, you just have to speak up and say hey you know is it okay if I join you for whatever this meal or is this seat taken?

I would absolutely positively recommend everybody buy the internet package when you're cruising alone.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Buy the internet package when cruising alone to stay connected and occupied.
βœ“Speak up and ask to join others for meals or activities on shore excursions.
βœ“Bring a book or phone to keep yourself occupied when eating alone.
βœ“Accept that solo cruising costs more due to double occupancy pricing.

Feeling lonely β€” Cruise ships are social; use internet to stay connected and accept that loneliness is temporary.
Being seen as weird β€” Nobody cares; solo cruising is empowering and you can do what you want.
Awkwardness on shore excursions β€” Speak up to join others; it can lead to conversations and friendships.
Eating alone in main dining room β€” It's not as bad as it seems; bring something to occupy yourself.
