Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm a Solo Traveler for the most part I'm going on cruises myself there's nobody as you can see in my room with me it's great I get to film whatever I want to but it's a different way of cruising right

if you can get yourself to the ship it'll be a whole game Chaser or be one of the most freeing things that you have ever done

I personally recommend for anyone who's looking on going on a cruise and you're really good with using filters and sort options to find what you're looking for

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be flexible with cruise lines, sale dates, itineraries, and departure ports to find deals with reduced or no single supplement
✓Use cruiseplum.com as a search tool for finding solo cruises
✓Request a large table in the main dining room to meet people and reduce anxiety
✓Start conversations at the bar, pool, or lounge areas to meet others
✓Join group cruises or charters to have a built-in community
