Norwegian Cruise Line Loves Single Senior Sailors


Many older people, widowed or otherwise without traveling companions, decline ocean voyages because of high cabin rates. Until recently, cruise lines always charged an extra fee for those sailing solo. Singles who occupied cabins alone often had to pay as much as for two people.

NCL now offers economical and compact, one-passenger studio-sized cabins on some of its ships. The nearby area also has an exclusive lounge for those singles who choose to mingle. For schedules, prices and other information, check with your travel agent or go to ncl.com
Manhattan Tourists: No Need To Pay To See The Lady PDF Print E-mail


Adding a word to Frank Sinatra’s lyrics: New York, New York, it’s a helluva (costly) town! Many seniors wandering in Manhattan for the first time in decades are understandably shocked by the sky-high hotel, restaurant, taxi and other prices. Take heart! Some savings can happen if you plan visits by searching for on-line bargains and other deals.

For example, many city museums have n0-charge days. Some quality entertainment events in Central Park, including the famed Shakespeare in the Park series, are free. Kiosks on Broadway sell half-price theater tickets on performance days. The Long Island Ferry sails free from Lower Manhattan and through the harbor, as passengers have excellent close-up views of the Statue of Liberty and the city skyline. There’s much more NYC to explore for less or totally free. For info, go to www.longislandferry.com and travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/city-guides/free-new-york-city-traveler
