Advice for a New Guy?

Hello, Folks,

Having never been a cruise before, I thought I would try to get some advice from the veterans.

I've always wanted to make the transatlantic run but it's never quite worked out. I will be flying back from London on the 15th and am debating trying to get on the QM2 instead. The rub is that I will be travelling alone and have no desire to pay the full two person price for a cabin.

I have spoke to Cunard and several travel agents about not paying the supplement and none of them were that helpful three weeks before the sailing. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to whether or not Cunard would be more agreeable closer to the date and, if so, how close to the date would it be before they decided that they needed to take half the price of a room than let it go empty?

Thanks for any advice you may offer.

Rory
