Ahoy, solo travelers! 
It's Mike, cruising solo and ready to share my embarkation day escapade aboard the Costa Toscana.
Welcome to another episode of A Podcast About Cruises… in today’s episode:

⚓ Check-In Surprise: Embarkation day kicked off with a twist – no check-in documents, no access. And oh, Costa decided to keep my passport for a while. A bit nerve-wracking, right? Stick around; there's more to this solo saga.

🚀 Irresistible Upgrade Temptations: Costa dangled some juicy upgrade offers my way. Did I take the plunge? Well, you'll get the lowdown soon.

💼 Shareholder Credit Perks: Exciting news – shareholder credit came through, solo-style! Always a win for us solo sailors, isn't it?

🔒 Theatrics of a Safety Drill: Hold on tight – the digital safety drill vanished, replaced by a live performance resembling a timeshare presentation. Sales pitches galore, a safety video sneaking in at the last 20 seconds, and a card scan to skip the muster station.

🍽️ Solo Dinner Dilemma: Zero connections at dinner, so I'm making moves – new table, new faces tomorrow. The solo cruise adventure has officially begun, and you're invited to this solo sailor's rollercoaster.
