5-day Solo Cruise on Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas
Last Aug 2022, I embarked on a cruise with Royal Caribbean’s Spectrum of the Seas. You'll be seeing some of the activities that I did and the food that I ate. I hope this video will give you an idea what to do on your next holiday.

@Fraser at Sea I don't mind traveling solo but I would never take a cruise alone because they are designed with couples or more in mind. The idea of having a bunch of singles meet and cruise is a good one.

Hi, I’ve been on this cruise with a friend before and am considering going alone. However I am concerned if it would be too boring. If you could speak to your motivation on why you decided to go solo on a cruise? and what did you enjoy most about cruising alone? that would be really helpful. Thanks in advanced 🙏🏻

Hi thank you for watching😊 My husband was supposed to come with me in this cruise but due to his work commitment he was not able to join. There's so much activities you can do onboard, I'm sure you will never run out of things to do and will not be bored. You can join tour groups if you want to explore when the ship docked at Malaysia and/or Phuket. For me, I enjoy my own company and I can do things at my own pace. It was fun and sometimes when you do things alone, you will discover a lot about yourself and your capabilities. Have fun and enjoy your solo cruise!

Hi Grace Gracie thank you for watching my video. I appreciate that you enjoyed it😊 I did not pay extra for the continental room service breakfast. It is a complimentary service for breakfast only and its up to you if you want to give tip to the service crew or not. However, there is an automatic gratuity/tip that is added to all other purchased drinks, mini bar items, spa, salon and other purchased services onboard.

@@yuyuwanders hi thanks for the reply! so the gratuity is the one included when we book the cruise right? what about any other taxes like departure tax/is there any tax we should pay when docking at other countries? is there anything else you should pay outside of the payment we made for the cruise? I'm going next year and I'm wondering if there's any taxes or stuff so I can somewhat figure out how much SGD I should exchange hahaha. sorry if I ask too much, thanks again! :D

@@grxciegrace Hi Grace, its my pleasure answering viewers' questions☺ The cruise fare includes gratuities, taxes and port charges when you book it. However, purchases and services rendered onboard a Royal Caribbean ship will have gratuities added at the time of purchase. If you buy a drink, get a massage at the spa, or eat at a specialty restaurant, you will be charged an 18% gratuity automatically. Your receipt will display the cost breakdown. As for docking to other countries, you don't have to pay anything anymore because it is already included in your cruise fare. You just have to pay for the purchases you made onshore. Have a safe and fun cruise next year. I hope you enjoy the it as much or even more than I did. Just have fun and relax☺

Hi Silver Kris, thank you for watching😊 The continental breakfast room service (which I had in the video) is complimentary but other than that room services are chargeable. They have wifi but you have to purchase it onboard. All purchases onboard will be charged accordingly to creditcard/debit card which you will provide at the start of the cruise on day 1 through their Royal Caribbean app. When the ship is docked and you want to get off the ship to explore the city, all expenses will depend on how much you want to spend. I suggest to bring cash, especially in Malaysia where there's a lot food options so dont forget to change malaysian ringgit. I hope I answered your questions😊
