Welcome to Mer Cruises Solo! my name is Meredith and I’m a cruise enthusiast. I took my first solo cruise in 2018 and have been addicted to cruising ever since - 24 cruises and counting! Most of the cruises I take are solo and I share with you what it's like to cruise by yourself (for reference, I'm in my mid-30s!)
Sometimes I also cruise with friends or family, but no matter if I'm cruising alone or with others, I will show you useful information such as: the boarding process at various cruise terminals, cabin tours, ship & ship venue tours, food & beverage options, dress codes, entertainment, crew, behind the scenes tours, excursions, port details, itineraries, etc. If you have a cruise question, please reach out, I'd be happy to share with you all that I know! I have an eye for detail and everything about cruising, from the ships themselves to the incredible feat of operating a cruise ship, I find SO fascinating!

Boarding the NCL Sky for a WEEKEND CRUISE out of Miami!
I took a 3 day cruise on the beautiful little NCL Sky! Check out this video to see what a weekend cruise to the Bahamas looks like on Norwegian Cruise Line! I had such a great time spending my three days in the sun and roaming around the ship seeing and doing as much as possible in such a short time! This cruise embarked from the Miami Cruise terminal (Terminal B for NCL) and stopped at Nassau, Bahamas and Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian's private island! We were fortunate to be able to tender to the island and it was a beautiful weekend with amazing weather. A perfect weekend getaway!

HAL Volendam EPIC Orange Party! | Packed Day in Charlottetown, PEI
มุมมอง 3K19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
I have to admit, this may have been one of my favorite days on a cruise... EVER! All thanks to the amazing Holland America Volendam crew for putting together one of the most fun activities I've yet to experience on a cruise, and that is the pre-Orange Party Bar Hop! Not only was the Orange Party itself *such* a fun time, but the huge group of us that participated in the bar hop had twice the fu...

We also had to slow wayyyy down mid-morning and cra...

Never been on Virgin, learning so much from this video and excited to see so many comments excited about San Juan Port, thanks Mer!!
Hey so excited to see you in San Juan, I am Puertorrican so very excited for this vlog! ❤🇵🇷 I had to ask? Did anyone clap 👏 when landing? Us Puertorrican are trying to keep the tradition of clapping when we land in PR in appreciation for the flight to the pilot, the crew and God. Depends on who you ask the reason behind it might be different but at least for me and my family that is.
@@Valerieesquilin I can’t remember exactly, but I know I was on one flight this year where many of the passengers did clap, it may have been this one!
Hello! I am considering this excursion for an upcoming trip. Do you recall the exact name of the Shore Thing? Thank you.
Perfect timing. I'm headed on the Sky solo over Labor Day. Thanks for the preview!
@@brianz6888 yay! Have a great cruise!
Now I wanna do that itinerary, looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
@@juanurena7702 it was absolutely beautiful, a great itinerary!
I’m a new subscriber. I’m an avid cruiser and I watch a LOT of cruise vlogs. I absolutely love your style of vloging!! We’ve cruised on Norwegian, Royal, Carnival and Holland. Our favorite so far has been Holland! And what you wore was perfect! Keep up the excellent work!
@@elainemast5447 thank you so much!! I really loved Holland, and am looking forward to cruising with them again! 😊
This Cruise-ship is absolutely beautiful, the Spa and Room decor are so welcoming, love it! 🎉❤ yeah you need a commission 😉
Editing is getting good! 👏
@@jeewilly321 thanks G, high praise! 😄
On Holland a balcony is called a verandah.
Love all the scenic views/shots! So beautiful 🤩 your videos are so good i can feel the fun you having and the relaxation of nature! I do skip the food , i love cruise food, so i be eating all day long here… lol 😂
@@Valerieesquilin it’s easy to find yourself eating all day long for no reason! 😂
@@MerCruisesSolo 😂 FACTS! Thanks for the support 😂
I’m not sure if i watch this twice, maybe i did and this is another comment, all the binge watching getting to me…. ANYWAYS, wow, not sure whats more breathtaking the hike or the views! Great shoots of nature MER, EVERYTHING LOOKS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! The cruise doesn’t look like a sold out cruise, love it, great job!
It makes you appreciate what the mariners faced in the old sailing ships.
I was in THE sky in March, beautiful ship ( a little bit small ) but we had a good time.

I did a short cruise out of Miami on Pearl last Christmas. I'm doing it again (on Pearl) this year. It was a good time.
I have yet to sail on the Pearl, that sounds like a great way to spend the holidays! ☺
Future Meredith!! That was a funny intro to your commercial. Can’t wait to see six months ago Meredith or 3 weeks ago Meredith or two weeks in the future Meredith! Also loved the edit to the music at the beginning
😄 Thank you!!
Solo cruiser here as well. My favorite hotel (upper floors facing Bayside and the port to watch the ship's AM arrival) and my favorite NCL ship. I love the aft balcony cabins and have sailed with her many times between 2015 and now. Can't wait to try her new 2025 schedule. Main dining room breakfast on the last day is the best. Love your sun hat- it's very cute.
I was hoping I'd have a direct view of the port, but it was just out of view of the ships unfortunately, but loved the Intercontinental! The Sky is great, would love to try an aft balcony on her sometime! 😊
All of the food you had looked delicious 🤩 And the ship looks beautiful too! Well done Meredith, great vlog 😁
Thanks so much, Ben! I know you're missing that cruise food 😜
You do a great job of filming and editing! Really enjoy your videos. Feels like being right along with you..
Thank you so much!! 😄
Great video as always! Link for the portable fan?
The exact one I have is no longer available, but here's a very similar one that I found! amzn.to/3SUdLSk
Congrats on 3K+ subs Meredith! 👍 Great to be able to take off on a little weekend cruise. I've fallen in love with cruising over the last year and your adventures encourage more. 🙂 Keep up the great content. Cheers!
Thank you so much! It's hard not to love it! 🤩
Enjoy your cruise😎 Regads from Norway 😀
Thank you :)
Sunburnt eyelids, no. But in Hawaii, the bottoms my feet got sunburnt. 😊
😳 wow, now that I have never experienced - ouch!!
@@MerCruisesSolo yeah, put a crimp in my walking style for a bit. That sun is unbelievable!
Thank you for sharing, I have sunburned my eyelids as I fell asleep in the sun not fun. Lots of moisturizer. 😂
Yes, I really put my eye cream to good use after this trip 😂
We have been on NCL many times and we have never been to Great Stirrup Cay because of weather... maybe in January 2025 with our next cruise attempt!
Sending you lots of good luck, hope you're able to make it!! This was my 5th time there (to be fair I don't always choose to get off the ship) and every time I have been fortunate to not have it cancelled, but I know it happens often!
Hey Mer! Yes , I have experience sunburned in my eyelids, and I’ve also seen others too, specially when we are cruising is when i see it the most. My suggestion even though you wore a hat, make sure your sunglasses are also UV-blocking sunglasses. The hat will protect you from the sun coming from above not the reflection from the water, the ground, etc. I use grape seed oil, rose hip oil, coconut oil, hemp seed oil, to help my skin heal after sun exposure. Give it a try.
Those are great suggestions, thank you so much! I couldn't believe that happened, but in that sun and heat anything is possible! 😊
@@MerCruisesSolo AWW THANKS FOR THE REPLY! I really enjoy the channel, hope my suggestions work for you! 💕
I was in the Bahamas back in July. Looked like a fun weekend trip. I haven't been to NCL's private island yet but looks like somewhere I would enjoy and I like that your drink package carries over to the island. The Baja spice chicken sandwich looked really good.
The sandwich was SO good! I really enjoy Great Stirrup Cay - though I haven't been to any other cruise line private islands, this one is in my opinion really great!
Hey Mer ! What’s the sticker they put on your cruise card for ?🤔🧐☺️
@@MrKn1214 it was to verify that I did the muster drill check-in! 😊

@@toyawomble2810 the cost will vary significantly depending on the cabin and time of year. But yes, the Sky did offer the drink package as an option to include during booking!
@@MerCruisesSolo Thank you.😊
Thanks for sharing your video…. Another great job Mer!!
@@northwestman1 thank you! 😊
I am a solo traveler. Just went to Alaska last month and had a solo room to myself for a great reasonable price. Now, my group that I went with last month is planning on going to Hawaii in 2026. I called the travel agent with NCL and they gave me a price. OMG! Way too expensive for a solo room. I wonder how people can afford to travel alone. Any suggestions or advice are much appreciated. I am 64 years old and want to travel as much as I can. Thank you. Your videos are great!
@@christinelisi6964 the Hawaii NCL cruises are very expensive in general, so I would expect to see higher prices especially for solo travel! It really depends on the itinerary and time of year, you can find really great solo travel deals on certain ones - check out the website CruisePlum which has an easy way to search for solo cruises with a low single supplement!
@@MerCruisesSolo Thank you so much.
I keep looking at the 3-4 day cruises for NCL and am waiting on one that fits my work schedule/budget
@@chadcampbell8393 it’s a great weekend getaway if you can find the right deal!
Would you consider a video where you compare and contrast Holland America Line with Norwegian? All the best.
@@oldgadfly8398 great idea, I will definitely consider this!
Yes! NCL compare to other cruise lines! The difference on what to expect , it will be very useful. I have travel in MSC , Cranival and Royal and i can see how MSC is so different from the others, but I haven’t travel in NCL or Virgin, or Holland, etc so I wouldn’t know what to expect. Maybe do a Serie Vlog with few videos. 💕
@@MerCruisesSolo Great, thanks. Have a great rest of the week!
Great video...that Irish bar at the end looked amazing! The Irish know how to party! Just found your channel recently and am loving it, keep it up!
@@chadmccord8408 thanks so much! That Irish bar was a great time! 😊
Hal has a vegetarian menu but you need to request it and order your dinner the night before.
Thank you, that's good to know! I am not entirely vegetarian so I usually can find something on the regular menu, but maybe should take that into consideration for the future!

I think it was the warmest and driest day on our June 22nd sailing from Boston. We had a great time that day. My brother in law met us, and we spent the morning together. Hubby came from the area and dragged me all over when we were much younger (40 years ago). We had a nice lunch and then headed back to the ship to get our bags sorted and a much-needed nap.
that sounds lovely! It was so fortunate that the weather ended up clearing up for my walking tour, such a beautiful place especially in the nice sunny weather!
I have an excursion booked on the Prima next year and reserved a Guarantee Solo Balcony Stateroom. I TRULY hope my stateroom ends up being this one OR a stateroom with pretty much the same layout. Thank you for sharing this content! 😃
@@Khrys32 if you booked a balcony category, you’ll definitely get one similar to this! 😊
@MerCruisesSolo Yes, it is a balcony stateroom; category BT. The stateroom featured here looks awesome! Thank you for responding.
Loved your video. So helpful. I am doing this cruise in a few weeks. Will be my first cruise ever. So excited but praying it cools off some. I wanted sweater weather. Proud of you for cruising alone. Very courageous.
@@GeorgiaGirl100 I would bet it will be sweater weather when you go! There were a few times it was chilly on my cruise even in July! Would love to do this itinerary during the fall when the leaves are changing, I’m sure it’ll be beautiful!
