I’m 31 & This Is How Much I Spent On My Solo Trip On A Cruise Through Alaska

3:00 p.m. – I change into my swimsuit and decide to hit the hot tub. The perk of a cooler weather destination means that the pool and hot tub areas are practically empty! I end up chatting with a couple that is also from Texas for a couple of hours and enjoy the cool air and hot water. We have traveled to some of the same places, but are from different cities, and talk about our cruising experiences.

6:00 p.m. – Shower and change into nicer attire. Head to dinner. Tonight’s menu is Italian and I am a happy camper! After dinner, I watch the Not-So-Newlywed game show in one of the clubs. It’s a staple of most cruises and never fails to make me laugh. It’s based on the old-school Newlywed Gameshow, but they get a couple that’s recently married, another that’s been married for a really long time (I’ve seen more than 60 years!) and then a couple that’s somewhere in the middle. They ask each side of the couple a question about their relationship or their partner and then they have to match their answers. The questions range from “how’d you meet?” to more risque, about the most unique place they’ve ever “made whoopie.”
