My single girlfriend and I are thinking about a New Years Week cruise on Royal Carribbean to the Southern Carribbean. We are curious about whether there are singles on lines other than Carnival. My friend sailed with Carnival a couple of years ago and wanted to cruise a nicer line, but we don't want to be the only singles on board. Any suggestions, tips, recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

My sister and I have sailed Royal Caribbean during the holidays and there were always other singles on board. Maybe not the "wild partying" type that are on Carnival, but fun people.

CruiseMates is hosting a group cruise on the Golden Princess for New Years. They have special group rates - you may want to look at their site. The Golden Princess is more upscale than Carnival. <BR> <BR>www.cruisemates.com

<BR>Have you considered one of the singles cruises? One of the problems with taking a cruise is finding the singles can be difficult. I've actually met guys the first day and then not run into them again. Especially on the mega ships, the smaller ships can be easier.

I have been on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegain, and Celebrity. All of them have had "singles mixers" for all the singles to get together.

RCCL is great for 50 and ups. Or at least people with that mentality. Shows are geared to older folks. Even the dance music in the disco was outdated. There are of course singles on all cruises. I wouldn't recommend them for the young and energetic. Good idea though.

I am single and cruising on the NCL Majesty on 12/30. This will be my eighth cruise with them. Numbers of singles on board has varied but I have always had a great time.

<BR>Hi Susan, <BR> <BR>There are tons of singles on RCCL Voyager and Explorer and the dicso music is up to date. <BR> <BR>The production show are a tad boring but the ice shows are great and the parades are exciting. <BR> <BR>Paul
