I've done four solo cruises on NCL & I absolutely love them. In comparison to other cruise lines, they are also much more affordable as they don't charge you the sro rate. Highly recommend.
Yes! There's a big difference when we cruise solo and with others! I'm repeating a couple of lines because I went with others and don't know if my final thoughts were because of the ship or my friends! LOL
Hello! I'm a recent subscriber to your channel and enjoy your content. As a female solo traveler I appreciate your perspective. I also love your use of spreadsheets! I recreated your cruise comparison one from another video as it was so good. While I've cruised solo before on Princess, I will be on my first NCL one this October. P.S. The audio from your videos in my headphones is awesome! I feel like I'm there on the ship. Bravo!
Thank you so much for subscribing! And thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it! ❤️❤️❤️ Yay for your NCL cruise! I would love to hear about your experience! And my background is in the technical field. I use spreadsheets for EVERYTHING! 😂 Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I 100% agree about it being best for solo cruisers! And that's cool about eating alone! It's amazing how some us like it while others prefer to eat with others. LOL!
Hey Sig. I’m a rare one that loves American cheese in my eggs. How disappointing cruise ships don’t have it. In the 90’s no que and tickets for tenders. You just went to the tender when ready to get off 🤷🏻♀️🤦♀️. O’Sheehan’s sucked on the Gem in 2017. Was 24hrs so great for late night but every time we went they were always out of something at 3pm or 2am. Very disappointing. Love a port day on the ship. Exactly. Less crowds. Was admiring the atrium chairs when you were above. The kissing cam got the brother and sister 😂. Thanks for sharing 🤗
I like my eggs a variety of different ways too. I'm sure you can request it. Or on NCL, order 24 hours in advance...lol. Yes, I can see O'Sheehan's being great to late night food. An alternative to pizza. Thanks so much for watching, Cydney!!!
Thank you, Kathleen! I think you will enjoy the solo experience with other solos on this ship. I did. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! ❤️
I enjoy dining in Savor while aboard an NCL cruise. It’s always an enjoyable experience. But 24 hours ahead a time?? Hmm NCL, u lose some brownie points for that.
Yeah, I think the regular and allergen dining experiences can be quite different in the same restaurant. But yes, this was the first time I've ever experienced a 24 hour requirement on ALL things gluten free EVERYWHERE on the ship. And if the order is messed up or if I want more...I'm SOL! LOL
@@SIGCruiser Yeah I guess I shouldn’t compare my experience to your GF one. It would be different. Yet it’s still good you are exploring different ships regardless of the dining experience. Love the spontaneous you 😄
I agree. On all other ships and sailings I’ve been on, I could order at any time. This is the first time I’ve seen a 24 hour requirement for pizza. I don’t mind waiting, but 24 hours? Really? Thank you do much sir sharing and commenting! ❤️
May I pick your brain please? As a person with gluten and dairy issues, do they have alternative coffee creamer? I know it’s stupid but I have a habit to feed and I’m going solo trans Atlantic in February 2025. It’s my first cruise which is why I’m obsessively watching videos. I really love yours! You are giving me real life relevant information. Thanks.
Thank you so much! And I don’t have problem with dairy and I didn’t make special note of the options in this vlog but will do so in the future. I don’t recall visibly obvious options but that doesn’t mean they aren’t available. I was constantly asked if gluten was my only allergy. And with them not putting cheese on my pizza, I suspect they expect gluten and dairy intolerances together. I’m sorry I don’t have a more definitive answer for you but I will start noting this in the future!
Yes, I agree...that atrium space was congested most of the time. And I'm with you....the only time I eat in the MDR on a ship is for breakfast or lunch. Because usually that's the only place where I can get traditional gluten free breakfast options. I don't do dinners there anymore. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, Janis!

Glad to hear that you enjoy NCL, Vallentina! I hope that you continue to enjoy! Thank you so much for sharing and commenting! ❤️
I need to get back on NCL. We did the big vlogger’s cruise so it was always something going on. I need to try without the fuss 😂

I absolutely love Ncl.
So great to hear!!!
The Breakaway looks like the Escape. I enjoy cruising on NCL. In my opinion it’s the best for solo cruisers like myself, and I too like eating alone.

Even when I cruise with family, we have slightly different interests so we aren't always together 24/7 but we do have meals together.😅
And that's the greatest thing about cruising with family! LOL!
Great video!!!
Thank you so much, Sebastian! ❤️
Another great, informative video. I’m planning a solo on Breakaway for Mediterranean in May and looking forward to the solo experience

Yes. No way to find out but to try. And now, I don't want to stick to just one cruise line...lol
Looking forward to trying the Breakaway class one day but now you have me nervous. Seemed like a pretty clunky experience.
As we say, you got to try it for yourself. I world just say don’t break your neck to do it. 😂
Yes sig, salt, pepper and butter. Sugar is just childish lol
Exactly, Phil!!!! LOL!
I think they were treating the grits like cream of wheat bkfst cereal
😂😂😂
24 hours for pizza is crazy. On princess and Carnival I was able to order at any time, but it did take a while.

They brought you the wrong sugar that’s all, white sugar next time 😊😂
YOU’RE Team Sugar???!!!! 😱 Say it ain’t so!!!! *clutches the pearls*
Atrium is too small and congested!
I never ate in the dining room on the breakaway! Thx for sharing
