Hello, my name is Ann and I'm going on this cruise. Have been on a few cruises before but that was when my husband was alive. This will be my first cruise on my own, but having now been on 3 previous trips with Just You - Kenya, China and Egypt - you have nothing to worry about, we'll all have a great time!
I think someone has already answered most of your questions and I can add the following:-
If we want to spend cash in Cape Town we'll need South African Rand. Ditto for Genoa - for cash we'll need Euros. On board the ship, the MSC Sinfonia, they use US Dollars.
I'm waiting to be told what the temperature will be in the various locations and will let you know when I get the info.
As the last person has said you don't have to get off the boat when it stops for a tour or whatever, it's entirely up to you.
Likewise I've always had a Just You rep and he/she and us "more seasoned travellers"! Will hopefully be able to answer any more questions and put you entirely at ease.
I can honestly say we've always had a good laugh on all the singles holidays I've been on.
If you can think of anything else which hasn't already been covered, I'm only too happy to help.
Look forward to meeting you - less than 3 weeks to go now!
Ann
