I have done a number of cruises and they are a whole lot of fun, I have done them on my own and with family and friends so I feel I am qualified enough to talk about them to you.
Recently did sample cruise with a friend and I loved it. Its all in the time you go if you want to sail the high seas in holiday
period be prepared for a lot of families, kids and elderly. I have not
got anything against them as long as you know that the ship will be a
little noisier than usual your saving grace is the oasis where there is
the adults only area of the ship.
Plenty of lounges and day beds to read
and or grab a swim and spa. Talking of the spa I have met people in the
spa and had nice chats with them and then you see them on the ship and
bingo you have a connection.
Do not book a cruise without knowing
that it has a place to get away from the kids you will go insane
especially in the holiday season.
Seriously, many people do not go on cruises to find the love of their life if its meant to be it will happen but don’t pin your high hopes on finding “the one!”
HOT CRUISY TIPS
Strut your stuff though on a cruise you
can be as visible or invisible as you want to be to be seen and meet
others look at the “singles
meet ups” We went to one and it was like one of those awkward moments
where you are all rounded up and everyone knows your single and no one
was making a move.
After eyeing off the other singles from
across the room and they checking us out we got up the nerve and walked
over and started chatting to them. We all went to the show together and
then out afterwards to the pub. Good night was had by all.
Put yourself out there though there are
art auctions and if anything you get a glass of bubbly to watch the art
being exhibited. Join in other activities on board where you don’t need a partner. Wine tastings and lunch meet ups are a good way to also have the chance to chat.
Loved the pub on board the ship had a
gathering of people there and the atmosphere was great as the piano
player played all songs form 70s and 80s that had people singing along.
There were groups of travel
agents there I found this fun to see them all branded wearing the same
tee shirts which made for good conversation when you meet them different
areas of the ship.
Also I found a lot of people that were married but acting single and were there just to find a fling!
Found going to the ship adult
area around sunset you get to meet many people with a glass in hand
watching the sunset its easy then to talk of your day and ask them about
theirs kicks off the chat – if they are not your sort of people excuse
yourself to get a drink and don’t go back!
LAST HOT TIP
Before you go join in forums and meet
those online that will be on your cruise. This is a far easier way to
meet people and break the ice before stepping on board your ship
You will find pockets of singles on
board all traveling together having a good time, at the end of the day
its what you make of it yourself.
Again, you may want to go under the radar read a book and do a few shore tours and have a relaxing holiday. Enjoy!
