Looking for a cruise buddy
Watch this postHello: I live in California and love to cruise. I am looking for a friend to cruise with. I am a widow and my past cruise partners have all passed away, or can't afford to cruise as much as I would like to. I am an active 78. I do have to cruise with Princess until the end of next year as I got sucked into a "Package" and I need to cruise at least twice before the end of 2024 to use up my credits. I will use them on a double priced solo trip if necessary, but it is more fun with two or more. After 2024 I'm open to any cruise line (I am elite on Princess; four star on Holland Am.: Royal Caribbean; Norwegian;) I really don't care where we go, just looking to share cabin cost. I'd like the Caribbean, Panama Canal, Tulip time in Holland, Pompeii, etc. I am an early bird - meaning I don't stay out until all hours and I am up by 7am. Non smoker is a must, but as long as I don't have to pay for your drinks I don't care. I am a very light drinker. (one or two per cruise).

when are you thinking of cruising.
I LOVE cruising!
Everything about it is wonderful!
I am around your age and have been on my last few cruises in the past 9 months alone, as I lost my cruise partner. I am really looking for a cruise partner because I do not want to pay double any more for my vacations. My Alaska cruise this summer was fantastic...but I could have gone on 2 cruises if I hadn't had to pay double!
You mentioned trying to stay active. On my Alaskan Cruise, I went on the steepest Zipline...it was fantastic! When I cruise I always bring my snorkel equipment & try to partake, as long as the weather cooperates!
I was wondering, do you live in the U.S., and if so, which coast is closer for you?
