NCL CRUISE FIRST PROMO

Normally, you pay $150 for a $300 CruiseFirst certificate. But this offer is increasing to $250 for $500 toward your cruise Oct 13-15, 2026.

Let’s talk about what that could mean…. Find a $500 cabin? Your cost is only $250 after applying the certificate!

YES, those cabins really do exist! You’re more likely to find them with inside cabins and solo cruise deals.

And you already know I’m always looking for a good solo cruise deal!

I love Virgin Voyages, but NCL has been has my attention with its solo pricing. When I can get onboard for less, I’m definitely going to take a look!

Have you been wanting to try NCL, or are you ready to get BACK onboard because you already love it?

Because if you’ve been waiting for a reason to book, this might be it!

Solo Cruising: Virgin Voyages vs. NCL 🚢

My favorite solo cruises so far have been with Virgin Voyages. I love the atmosphere, the energy, and especially the solo events led by the Happenings Cast. They make meeting other solo sailors fun and feel a lot more natural. I’ve sailed solo on Virgin, Princess, MSC, Royal Caribbean and now NCL.

However, after recently sailing with Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), I have to admit that the pricing for solo travelers is a big advantage. Cruise lines can make it expensive to travel alone by charging a single supplement, and I really wish more cruise lines would make solo cruising more affordable. It’s one of the reasons NCL is so popular with solo cruisers.

I also noticed that the group of solo travelers at the NCL meetup seemed older than the crowd I was used to on Virgin. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, of course! Every cruise line attracts a different mix of people, and everyone is looking for something different.

Personally, I prefer Virgin’s upbeat, activity-based solo events over NCL’s traditional solo meetups. But when it comes to saving money, NCL definitely has my attention!

I’ll absolutely be booking more solo cruises with NCL to save money, even though Virgin Voyages is still my favorite solo cruising experience.

I’m curious about other solo cruisers: Would you choose a cruise line with a better social atmosphere or one with a better price? Or, like me, do you switch between cruise lines depending on the deal?

Horseshoe Bay was beautiful and hot!! Without paying for an umbrella there was no shade. Bring your spf, h2o and a sun hat.
