The crew got to know me, so I felt comfortable knowing someone was aware of my comings and goings. I met a lot of singles and other solo travelers. I highly recommend it as a way of vacationing.

      @jamiehershon Год назад +1

      I've gone solo to Alaska 3 times (I love Alaska). 2 times on NCL (the ships didn't have studios though) and 1 time on Princess. I went to the solo meets on NCL and met people of all ages. Was nice to have company at dinner and to see a show with and I actually kept in touch with a couple of meeting I met. Princess did solo meets but it was just a set time to meet at a bar and I couldn't tell where the solo group actually were so a bartender took me over. The Princess group were all older...50s and up but mainly 60s and up. Not hating, just was hoping to see people closer to my age than my parents'.

    Thank you. I really liked your video and editing. You are very chill. Kind of a super nice guy. I really enjoyed your outlook on life and things. This is the 2nd RUclips video I've watched entirely and the other one was also a solo cruiser and he was also extremely optimistic in his outlook. I liked that. I guess I've always had a dark view of everything so it was interesting to hear, literally, what other people think as they go through a day. I've subscribed to you and will watch you other videos now. I'm in my 50's and my wife and I have never cruised but we are planning a cruise now. I'm doing all the research, thank God for RUclips, I've learned alot, for example, last week I didn't want to go on one of the giant ships I wanted to pay more for a smaller ship or yacht but once I saw the food and fun on the big ships I realized that will work for us! And they are very cheap now. They are practically giving away rooms.

    Thanks. I enjoyed your video very much, because as a solo traveler, I have often wondered what it would be like on a Norwegian cruise. I am a 68-year-old grandma, with somewhat limited mobility, and cannot walk long distances or stand for long periods, but I do like to walk as much as I can. I can ride most of the rides, and I would really like to try that Jamaican Bobsled! I have only been on 4 cruises so far, and they were all Turner Classic Movies cruises on Disney ships, because I am a HUGE movie fan, and they only have ONE TCM Classic Cruise per year, as circumstances allow. Disney ships have wonderful facilities and services, and now that I am retired, it is a little too expensive. But I am going in November, on the Disney Dream, with ports of call Grand Cayman and Disney's Castaway Cay. Last TCM cruise in 2019 was from New York to Bermuda - which was beautiful - and my favorite excursion was a SEGWAY tour. Lots of fun. Now I am also saving up for a transatlantic cruise from Southampton in England to New York - a long cruise with a LOT of sea days, which I love. I will go and watch your other videos now. Thanks again.

    • @MrBucketlist

I've never sail out of Tampa myself and I've been here 6 years now lol. Thanks bro

    • @MrBucketlist
      @MrBucketlist  2 года назад +1

      Thank you! I'm not sure about 3rd vendor cruises but in regards to 3rd party vendors for excursions I've explained it before in other videos but the only main difference is one is booked and sponsored directly by the cruise line the other is not sponsored by the cruise line. So if something happens to you (mainly if you get left by the ship or hurt) and you use a 3rd party vendor the cruise line will be responsible.

    A little about booking private excursions: The ships put it out there that if you aren't on one of their excursions, you'll get left behind, but if you are, they'll just wait indefinitely for you. Of course they do, because they want your money. That's not true. They have a certain amount of time in the berth, depending on the port, tides, and I'm sure other factors. If you're on a ship excursion and they have to leave, they're leaving. Yes, they're going to pay to make you right, but they are poof. If you're on a private excursion that, which is almost always the case, has 20 other people from that same ship, they are going to stay there as long as they can just like they would for one of theirs. They don't want to be in the media for leaving 20 pax behind. The key is being in communication with the ship. Like you pointed out, those vendors are often the very same ones that the ship contracts with. So do your homework, book with reputable, legit companies, and save money and have better experiences with private excursions when they're comparable to something you want to do on the ship. The people that get left behind are the ones who overstayed their welcome at the bar in Cozumel ;)

    Mr Bucketlist, I liked many of your videos. I'm confused about one thing. I recently chatted with a local travel agent and told them that I would like to go on a singles cruise and she said basically that there is no cruise line that hosts specifically for singles only. I thought that there was a cruise line that will occasionally host singles cruises only. Can you explain this a little bit more in detail to me? I'm divorced, and plan on traveling solo on a cruise and would like to meet other singles. All suggestions are appreciated.

    • @MrBucketlist
      @MrBucketlist  Год назад +1

      Thanks Mike! Your TA is correct. There is no cruise line that hosts singles cruises for the entire ship at the moment. So the most they have right now are either charted or hosted cruises for solos or singles. Hosted solo cruises are basically people who are solo cruising grouped as one, like the cruise I just hosted in May. Not everyone was single, but they were cruising solo. I was among the youngest as my closest friends on the ship were 62, 65, 60 and 78 lol. You all will see more about that soon.. Single's chartered cruises are usually done by private companies that rent out a portion of the ship (or the whole thing), for single people looking to find other single people. I haven't done any type of chartered cruise yet but when I do in 2024 you all will know how it goes. I would say make google or youtube singles chartered cruises.
