If cruise pricing is based on double occupancy, does a single person have to pay for a cabin for 2?
Pricing is listed like this "$435.53 per person double occupancy ($871.06 per cabin double occupancy)"
Never been on a luxury liner cruise before, so a bit confused. But if i go, I'm gonna have to go alone.
No idea who's TDing you for trying to answer my question but its not me. Yeah, there's a particular cruise I'm wanting to take, so looking into others isn't really an option. So this means pretty much what I thought it did - sucks to be single. Sigh... Thanks.
;) For future I wont likely be taking any trips on such a cruise ship. I'm normally a windjammer cruiser. Turns out there are a few of us in the same boat (heh heh), so the coordinator of this particular trip I really want to take is going to see about hooking me up with another single girlfriend of hers to split the cost & share a cabin so we can both go & not feel like we're wasting money. :) So maybe it'll work out. I have enough trouble justifying the expense to begin with in these times of tight budget, so I just couldn't justify paying for two to go alone.

It depends on the cruise line. On most you pay a "single supplement" which varies but can be as much as double. Normally though its about 80 - 90% extra, so the one you are looking at could cost you about $800. Norwegian has singles rooms on some of their ships so maybe check them out.

The price you see normally does not included taxes and fees. For a single you can pay anywhere from 150 to 200% of the fare plus the taxes and fees for only one. Therefore even at 200% the total is a little less.
There are a few ships that have single cabins but the price is probably not much less.

You probably don't have to pay the full price of two people, but you will have to pay an additional single occupancy rate. Since you already know the exact cruise you are intrested in, just go the the cruise company's website and see what their policy is. It should be easy to find, just make sure you are on the cruise company website and not some third party travel site.

Pretty much. Some cruises will have a "single supplement" that may be somewhat smaller than a full fare. You say you don't have the option, but for future reference, I think the newer NCL ships have single cabins on them. On Carnival, you can book the lowest--priced cabin [I think it's 1-A] that has two bunk beds. There aren't many of them on the ship, though.

Yup, you pay up to double the listed price. That's why a couple of times I've invited my mom to come with me, as long as she pays her own airfare and onboard bill. The price differential is minimal, and she really enjoys it.

This is some of what I could find for you. Looks like it's out there - you just have to dig for what you want. Perhaps it would be worth talking to a travel agent about.

Because it's more economical for the cruise ships to occupy for couples rather than singles (because the majority of cruise-liner occupants don't take solo trips)
It's like why airplanes don't make special seats for the obese. Because statistically most people can fit into the regular seats.
