Creator's Key Takeaways
You go to the cruise company's website, see a great price, and then indicate that you're traveling alone, and the price just doubles because usually a solo traveler will pay twice as much as a regular passenger.
Instead of booking as a single passenger, you book the cruise as a regular double room through a travel agent. Yes, with two passengers.
The first advantage is access to cheaper rooms. You can book inside cabins, cheap rooms, and categories that aren't available for solo travelers.
The second advantage is the refund of port taxes. In most cases, you'll get a refund on the port taxes for the second passenger.
