    Ok..better to inform you late than never...
    
    I've booked with Singleworld twice, last year and this year.  What
    they offer is a more personalized service in passing information
    on destinations, things to do, etc.  You have a guide that does
    all this.  Also, you have an advantage to meet other single people
    right away and can take some of the guesswork out of meeting other
    people. Our guide on the Holiday was great...he really helped us
    out alot...as a matter of fact he got us off the ship the back way
    and we didn't have to wait in line with all the other passengers.
    
    Singleworld schedules on shore excursions better than the ship...simply
    because you don't usually have the volume of people, and go to more
    private areas.  Also, it helps get to know other people a little
    easier.  At no time are you obligated to go on these excursions,
    Singleworld just gives you the option.  They also have a lot of
    'Rum Swizzle' parties...free which are fun.
    
    All the singleworld people eat at the same seating...late, and usually
    in the same area...my cruise a few weeks ago, had 4 tables of 8.
    As far as males vs females...it varies...sometimes it works out
    and other times it can be one sided.  Also, you are not necessarily
    located in the same area on the ship.  
    
    I recommend highly that a single person use them, at least once.
    I am a single woman and I love going on cruises by myself, people
    just seem more receptive to singles...I've also had very good luck
    with my roommates...and you are not obligated to spend time with
    them, which can be nice.
    
    I hope this helps..Kristen
