The Telegraph reported today that British company Mundy Cruising is campaigning to reduce supplements for single travellers.
They pointed out that single travellers often get a raw deal, when it comes to accommodation and pricing, with some supplements as high as 100%, and many passengers surveyed felt that cruise lines treated them like second-class citizens.
I find this amazing in this day and age, especially as single people make up 39% of the adult population - that's almost 19 million people - hardly a small minority. On top of that, there are some people who prefer to cruise on their own, even if they do not actually live alone. So isn't it about time that choices and prices started reflecting that? It would certainly strike me as common sense, not to mention business sense.
What do you think? Do you have any interesting experiences to share of being a single traveller? I'd love to hear from you - drop me a line in the comment box below.
