Are your favorite cruise lines
Are your favorite cruise lines making solo cruisers pay sky-high fees for being SOLO? Are you paying significantly more for the same room on the same cruise than the couple next-door? 
The solo cruiser usually pays a solo supplement fee when booking a standard sized room. Usually, this fee is designed for a solo cruiser to pay the same price as a couple would pay for the same room. And that's fair enough. 
But what if that 'fee' is nearly $2000 MORE than a couple would pay for the very same room?
When does that solo supplement fee reach the point of "gouging?"
And some cruiselines will deny categories of cabins to solo cruisers on certain cruises, (even if you're willing to pay that solo supplement fee or more ), claiming they are sold out. However, if you book those same rooms as a couple, those rooms are suddenly available. Why?
In today's video, I look at examples from prominent cruise lines where solo travelers are asked to pay an EXTREMELY high solo supplement fee. We will also look at times when a solo cruiser is told that categories of cabins are "SOLD OUT," when in fact, those same cabins are available to couples.
Gouging? Targeting? Or is it just plain business?
If you are a solo cruiser, have YOU run into extremely high supplement fees or supposedly sold-out cabins?
Today I invite the solo-cruising community to share their thoughts on the examples in this video. Tell us what you think, what you've run into, where the cruise lines are that are fairest to the solo traveler who wants a full-sized cabin (not a solo cabin) or a suite. What do YOU do with your cruising dollars when a cruise line (perhaps) sends the strong message: "Solo cruisers are not wanted?"
Your thoughts are welcome!
