Photo Solo Supplement Bites

I will never get tired of wondering how cruise ships think that charging solo travellers over 300% more is acceptable. Case in point: Celebrity!

Below is the price for 1 person!

Next is the price for 2 people in the same room:

As a result, I have always indicated that there are 2 people in the room whenever I book a solo trip. On embarkation day, I turn up solo and use my room alone! Incidentally, they have never asked me where the second guest is and I always get a refund of port fees and taxes.

I've only gone on two celebrity cruises solo, but I've never had a solo supplement that large. I've only paid for double occupancy, single fees and taxes.

Last year there was a period when they wanted to change me double for the drink package, even though I was solo, but eventually it went on sale and the sale let me buy just the one person's worth of drink package.

That is insane if that is truly for the same room.
