I took a Carnival cruise completely ALONE: the reality
11,624
Published 2023-11-29
Not only was this my first solo cruise with Carnival, but it was also my first-ever Carnival cruise, so I truly had no idea what to expect. While I was worried that I would find the party-like environment overwhelming as a solo cruiser, I ended up loving every second of my trip!
During this trip, I got to learn what I loved and hated about cruising with Carnival, as well as think about the pros and cons of cruising alone.

I love cruising solo. It's so relaxing. No having to compromise, sharing the bathroom, or keep up with other people.

I love solo cruising!

I love seeing a younger person enjoying the solo cruising. I am 70 and cruise alone. I agree with all your thoughts. Great to do what you want to do, but I do wish I had someone to share it with. I also have been blessed to meet others on ship. I am professional Santa, so that helps to start conversations. I am doing Port Canaveral to Alaska in 2025

I just cruised solo from San Francisco to Sydney Australia (really need to make and post a video) i had a great time since it was a month long cruise in the end the whole ship basically knows everyone!

Went on one cruise alone. After my wife passed away. She was looking forward so much to go on it. Had to pay a single supplement although I was paying for two people all along. It was on a Carnival line. Princess. The singles event was every night at the same time I was schedule to eat dinner. It was unhosted. Met many people in the casino. You could make friends if you win them money. Those friendships only last as long as the cruise though. Most of the people I am in contact with these days I met on a cruise. You can spend quality time alone. It isn't bad.

Its easy to meet friendly people on cruises. My friends met a group of girlfriends and we all ended up hanging out together.

I’ve done lots of solo land travel and I’m finally about to take my first solo cruise!!

Great video. My last three cruises have been solo and all on Carnival. You hit on all the key points I’ve observed and experienced. I do gamble, so that’s another place to meet people if that is something you are in to. I cruise to disconnect from normal life, so I love the freedom to do what I want and when I want. The double occupancy charge is a pain.

I love solo cruising and I’m leaving on one on May 16 for 11 nights in the Mediterranean on royal Caribbean Voyager of the seas. This will be probably my sixth or seventh solo cruise!

Whoa. I had an interior cabin with a friend on RC for 13 nights Feb 2023. Both of us together was only $1800 with gratuities. That price seems very high.

Yo stop worrying about what other people are thinking or "forcing" yourself to meet people. Just chill and vibe
