Creator's Key Takeaways

solo cruising isn't about bravery it's about Freedom no waiting for others no compromising on plans and complete control over your experience

one of the biggest drawbacks of solo cruising is the dreaded single supplement the extra charged solo Travelers have to pay because Cruise pricing is based on two people per cabin

the beauty of solo cruising is that you get to eat where you want when you want without worrying about anyone else's preferences

cruise lines actually organize Solo Traveler meetups so you'll always have an opportunity to meet others cruising alone

Book dedicated solo cabins early or look for guarantee fares to avoid single supplements
Request a shared table in the main dining room or use bar seating in the buffet to meet others
Attend solo traveler meetups early in the cruise to connect with other solo travelers
Check the daily schedule in advance to plan evenings and avoid feeling lost
