Stinkin' single supplements!!!

[Anonymous]

I'm going crazy trying to find someone to go on a cruise with me next week, and I guess it's time to give up but I can't let it go!!! NCL wants 200% of the fare for a single and I guess that's pretty standard on cruises. I tried calling to see if now that it's less than 10 days out, they'd waive the fee but no... they won't.

Just had to vent... it's such a rare opportunity that my kids are going with their dad for a week to see his parents, and I'm technically "off the leash" but can't escape with a friend or sister, so I'm going to be stuck at home cleaning out closets or some other boring thing. Waaaaa!!!!

try calling a travel agent or a consolidator. They may have more room to work with. Also, have you tried checking out some of the cruise forum websites to see what's the story on grabbing last minute deals -- www.cruisecritic.com is one that I know off the top of my head but there are several others.

OP here. There are lots of sites with great last minute deals, but they are all for dbl occupancy. I wouldn't enjoy myself if I had to pay double, and there's no chance of waiving the supplement with NCL.

Sigh. I guess I'm going to have to figure out where I can drive from here and stay a few nights somewhere on a beach, but it's not the same "all-inclusive" environment outside of a cruise or an AI resort. I'd like to get lost in the vacation... and driving to a beach isn't quite the same as cruising across the Atlantic to one.

try googling "cruises without single supplement" - there seem to be numerous links that pop up re offers for low/no single supplement.
