Hi, this is my first time on this site. I will be going on the Inspiration on 3/3 out of Tampa by myself. First cruise, all alone. Kind of a "happy 1 year divorce anniversary to me" present. First of all, love the posts. They are very informative!

I was just wondering if anyone has any solo-cruising experiences and if I should expect to be the loner of the boat the entire time. I'm not really there to hook up with anyone, I just need a break from the single parent life and need the relaxation. But it would be nice to meet people just so it's not all lonely.

Also, I read on another site that you can refuse to have a sign and sail card. Is this so? I'm on a tight budget and want to have some control over my expenses. I am planning on taking $500 for the trip with the knowledge that I have to pay for my tips (one person for 5 days) and probably a soda card (I don't drink alcohol and don't really plan on any excursions). I know, too many questions, but any info would be greatly appreciated.

I don't supposed there's anyone else out there going on the same cruise solo, who might want to chat with me just so that there's one acquaintance on the ship???:daisy

Thanks for the info....can't wait!!!! 5 more days!!!!=docdance
