Looking for a cruise buddy

Hello: 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).

You sound very interesting. I’m a 68 year old single male and have never cruised so I would love to travel anywhere. I’m retired Army and have been stationed in Korea, Germany, and Alaska, so I have seen some of the world just never experienced a cruise yet. I would love to share cabin expenses and travel the world. If you would consider a male travel companion I would love to be considered. My name is Joe I’m 5’7” about 179 lbs single and try to stay active.

Hi Joe,
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?

Hello, I'm also living in California (So Cal) and would like to share cruising. Its expensive to pay for solo cabins. I prefer Princess cruiseline. I have a Sydney to Fiji trip booked for March 2024, but am open to other options if I can't find a cabin mate for that trip. I dont stay out too late and Im usually up early. Non-smoker as well.

I'm honestly wondering if going on a cruise in the next year would be safe enough for you? There are still outbreaks happening (more recently a lot of norovirus). I wish you could get your money refunded somehow. I wonder if a doctor's letter to the cruise company would help? I realize this isn't the response you're looking for, but I personally think it's a health risk to cruise. All the best to you.

Looking for a friend that I could maybe  take a cruise OR other travel  and would like to have some companionship and do not want to have to pay the single supplement on cruises . Does not have to be limited to that or even include that but going away a alone can be very lonely and having a partner in crime would be so nice.    My wife recently passed away after a long illness so I am looking to get back into the swing of things.  I have no perceived agenda or expectation if all of this leads to more than just a friend and cruise partner great and if not that is fine too. Just a little about me   i like to go to the movies, out to dinner, travel, go to the casino (I love poker) and  anything else that two people find as fun.  I am currently retired and also volunteer on my local rescue squad I am an EMT and have been for over 45 years and I teach at the local community college as well.  Tell me about yourself and what you like to do.  You can reach me at  david07470 on y a h o o of course remove the spaces I think that will work much better than this so you can email me there.  Hope to hear from you soon
