Cruise lines don’t generally offer single rates. Either you go with someone or you pay a double fare (a single supplement) for a cabin by yourself. Now I did recently see that Crystal cruise line will have a singles cruise, but they will match you up with another single in the cabin with you or you can pay the single supplement. (do you really want to share a 9ft by 12ft room with someone you don’t know?) BUT, Crystal is a high end cruise line so you will pay more for your fare than you would on Carnival, Royal caribbean, NCL, or Princess. So its NOT an inexpensive line.
One suggestion, the lowest priced cabin on ships are inside cabins. So pick a cruise line, like NCL, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and just book 2 tickets for inside. On some 7 day cruises that could be as little as $ 1600. if you can find a special. Or, do the same for a 5-day cruise.
Regardless of what cabin you book, you get the exact same things on ship.
Actually there are singles cruises.. not exclusive but catered toward singles.. on every cruise I have seen at least one or two nights where they arrange a party for singles only..
Unfortunately paying for the cruise is different. The cruise lines used to offer where a single can pay 150% of the singles rate for a room.. but with the popularity of cruising.. most of them have moved it up to double rate for a single cruiser.
Try searching around the web.. best place to start is http://www.cruisemates.com and http://www.cruisereviews.com
They rate all cruise lines and all ships by travel professionals and vacation cruisers.
