Do most of you then fly back? We have always wanted to do a repositioning cruise but we don't want to fly back. And not Europe savvy enough to know how to stay there affordably for the 4+ months until a repositioning cruise comes back. Hence my thread about tramp/freighter ships and the Queen Mary 2 Ocean Liner.
Just didn't know if I was missing some other alternative to getting back to the U.S. without flying. Or if anyone had good articles/resources for staying in Europe for several months (at an affordable rate).

I would not recommend the QM2, unless you like to really dress up for dinner every night for the crappy food they have. Unless you are in the Grill Cla$$, it is not a good experience.
The only reason I did it because at the time they had a deal to fly the Concorde back for about $300 per person.

Anyone here have experience with great deals for singles?
Looking to do a repositioning cruise somewhere in the next two years. Looked a bit at Discount Cruises, Last Minute Cruises, Cruise, Cruise Line, Cruise Vacation Pricing doesn't seem to be found below 60 USD per day? For doubles 39 USD is quite prevalent.

WE fly home but if I wanted to stay in Europe for a few months I would rent an apartment. Some friends of mine did this and saved a lot of $. It also depends what country and area you are in in regard to the expenses involved. It would be cheap to live in Poland for a few months but not if you choose a big city in Italy. My friends actually put all their possessions in storage and then rented their paid for home for a year while they traveled.

The best deal I could find right now - yes. Without airfare as well. Thing is the some of these ships have single cabins so it's not as if I'm taking up space
And it's excluding $12 to $15 (depends on the offer) 'mandatory' tipping per day.
Guess I shouldn't ask for the moon, it would be great to find something around the same price as for doubles. Pet peeve of the day (year): being punished for singledom

Overseas Adventure Travel doesn't charge a single supplement for their small ship cruises, but, single cabins are limited if you insist on no roommate. If you are willing to accept a roommate they will match you. Grand Circle Travel, their parent company does charge single supplements for river cruises. If you are willing to share they will match you. If they can't match you they don't charge a supplement.
