Royal Caribbean's First Solo Traveler Cabins Coming by June

RCI can do A lot better than "windowless" inside rooms for solo travelers - Sue 



Royal Caribbean this year will unveil cabins designed for solo travelers - a first for the line.

A Royal Caribbean representative tells USA TODAY a late spring overhaul of one of its 22 ships, the Radiance of the Seas, will see the addition of three cabins for singles -- all windowless "inside" rooms.

The 2,112-passenger Radiance is scheduled to enter dry dock for the makeover in late May and emerge (with the new single cabins) in early June. The ship will spend the coming summer sailing in Alaska.

Cheap Caribbean Cruises as Cruise Lines Reposition

Finding some great deals on Royal Caribbean cruises and other cheap Caribbean cruises right now should be easy. 

If you have been looking to get away or are planning your vacation for this year then a cheap Caribbean cruise might just be the trip you have been looking for.

This is due to something called cruise line repositioning. As cruise ships run on a seasonal cycle where they will service the Caribbean in the fall and Alaska in the spring.

During this time, instead of allowing their ships to travel without people, the cruise lines drastically reduce prices. These discounts are made so low as to bring in a lot of customers during this repositioning.

If you really want to save a lot of money by getting one of these discounted cruises then try to stay away from the bars and casinos on board. That’s where they get you, so to speak.

Shops are also another money maker for the cruise lines during this time, so remember that while you are getting a great deal, you should not be enticed to spend too much while on board or that discount may not seem that great at the end of the cruise.
