Here's Two Tips To Remember
Cruise Lines do acknowledge the growth of single travelers, and especially around Valentines week, they may provide special singles rates, unique singles events, and Valentine related activities. All you have to do is a little research on which Line out there offers the best singles special, and a few that come to mind are Royal Caribbean Cruises, Carnival, and Norwegian.
If you have never cruised with any of these ships before, you will come across specific terms in the industry that you should know in order to make sure you don't get confused on any of the offers the select Cruise Line's provide.
Tip #1: Individuals that are traveling alone will be subject to a single supplement charge. All cabins in most cases are based on double occupancy, so what Cruise Companies do to compensate for a stateroom not occupied by two people, is adding a supplemental charge for only one person in a room. It's not uncommon to see 150% or higher on top of the double rate, so it could get a little pricy!
However, during a promo or ship special, look out for the Cruise Lines that waive this additional fee, where if you tell them you're traveling as a single person, you will pay for the double rate, but they will place you in a stateroom with another person of the same gender. This program is called "Single Share", or something similar.
The second offer I mentioned is more common, and in my experience (no guarantees), they usually don't find a match, and you end up getting your own cabin. Good deal if it works out that way, but for some of you having a roommate might be interesting and fun!

Tip#2: Check your local newspaper, or go online directly to some of the exclusive cruise suppliers, and see if there are any group-cruises blocked for Valentine's week, or for any other week that you desire. There may be a Singles Club that has already pre-booked space, and is selling it to their current members and to the public.
By joining a group "Theme Cruise", you're still traveling as a single, but you get the advantages of the discounted savings, or reduced single supplement fees. They will also coordinate fun interactive singles activities, such as a singles night at the ship's bar, nightly dinner match-ups, and singles tour excursions, which is personalized for casual, and no pressure mingling.
The best feature traveling with a large group, is you're cruising with people that have a common interest; they're all single searching for love!
