I wonder how many people are like me and would like to gamble but won't go near the casino because of the smoke.  I can't stand the smell and hate how that smell lingers in your clothes after being around it.  

When we were on Mariner, you could constantly smell casino smoke in the promenade.

Totally agree - smoking should be banned from the whole ship - and i mean the whole ship!!

The wife knows ALL.  Hopefully you realize that now !

They may send you back home since you didn't follow their directions.....

Here is what I am seeing:
Selecting 1 stateroom (inside), 2 passengers:
Interior Stateroom Guarantee
 
$2,132.00 2 Guests Flash Sale -$50.00 BOGO50 NRD -$521.00 Subtotal: $1,561.00 Taxes & Fees $262.06 Total For Room (after discounts) $1,823.06   Selecting 1 stateroom (inside), 1 passenger: Interior $2,638.00 1 Guests Flash Sale -$50.00 BOGO50 NRD -$860.00 Subtotal: $1,728.00 Taxes & Fees $131.03 Total For Room (after discounts) $1,859.03  
Without the tax it's $95.06 more
After the tax, it's $35.97 more (I know this isn't a break the bank issue but I am irritated that I am penalized for being independent).
Perhaps I need to find a Sugar Daddy or a Boy Toy..... *insert eye roll here*

I did step through the booking and it took me all the way to putting in my credit card info. And that price quoted for a single person INCLUDED the "BOGO" offer they are currently running. Meaning it was close to 3k for a solo traveler before the discount when it was showing $781 pp for double occupancy.
Um. No.
I did do a search of good lines for solo travelers and have found a few that either have solo/studio rooms OR don't penalize you for being single. Sadly, I may not be able to be loyal to RC if that's how they want to do it.

Welcome, Dan, Diane and Dave !

Our first cruise was in 2006/7 (?) onboard Carnival Liberty, it was a 3 day country themed cruise... I have no idea what happened it went by so fast LOL. All I know is I didn't think I would like cruising but instantly wanted more! Booked the 5 night on Explorer of the Seas as a second cruise from NJ to Bermuda in September of 2007. We met good friends on that trip and we still sail with them to this day (when schedules allow). In fact we also hang out outside of the cruising world LOL. Besides one NCL cruise just to try the brand, we've stuck with Royal and couldn't be happier.
