Creator's Key Takeaways

When I cruise solo, I get to do what I want when I want. That is an incredible feeling

My time on board was truly my time. Anyone rarely has the opportunity to plan their day around their personal desires without taking others into consideration

There's something about a cruise that feels more communal than other travel

Table for one meant I could get almost any reservation I wanted, and that included specialty dining
