But don't buy a tuxedo just for the trip. Even on the most formal of ships, a dark suit and tie are fine for the dressiest occasions. If you do want to dress to the nines, many ships offer tuxedo rental services. Cruising is perfect for people travelling alone, because it's so easy to meet other people. In fact, most cruises have parties just for singles early on, so you can get to know people right away.
Many ships even offer gentlemen hosts who can be dance partners, dinner mate or a fourth at cards.
Most ships also have single cabins as well as single rates for double staterooms. Most ships have 110-volt outlets in the staterooms. But do check with your Cruise Line Associates travel agency to be sure. Most ships even have hair-dryers in your cabin. But most ships have two seatings, which vary only by time.
