We have done both. Prefer to have friends along, just not in the same cabin

We usually do the family and friends routine. My wife and I have gone alone 3 times and we met a couple on one of those cruises who are now very good friends.

For most of our cruises, we have sailed with just ourselves.

Twice, we have sailed with a group of our USAF-retiree friends and we shall be doing that again next month on a Holland & Belgium river cruise! 12 of us!

Most of our friends have little rugrats and can't afford to go on the vacations we go on (advantage of being rugrat-free!)...but if we could find friends who could afford vacations, we wouldn't mind booking a trip with them....

Results tend to surprise me a little bit (so far).........with a board like CLF.......I figured most would have their little circle of friends they now cruise with.......

I love to travel alone to see new places without worrying about others but for cruises or any regular vacation I go with a group of friends and/or family!

We do a little of both.

Have cruised:
1) Just the two of us
2) Just me and little granddaughter
3) With Kids & Grandkids
4) With Brother and SIL
5) With bowling buddies
6) With the Caring Cruiser Ladies (MaiTai Mama and MCCruiser)

And are looking forward to cruising in October with our CLF friends Sue and Bombero on a CLF run to CSI!
