Hi Bosuncat
Sorry to hear that you were given erroneous information regarding numbers.
I had always been a JY addict but with all this going on regarding sharing passenger information I may look elsewhere for more tours. In fact, there is a good large company for over 50's that do special departures for solo passengers and on other tours do low single room supplements.
I think more and more companies are realizing that much of the travel market is taken up by solo travellers and are capitalizing on it. JY needs to be careful or else they could lose out a lot.
Hope your cats are OK and that you are enjoying retirement
Happy travelling
